Hong Kong to produce 'world's first 3D sex movie'

HONG KONG (AFP) – A Hong Kong filmmaker aims to lure audiences back to the cinema with what what he says is the world's first 3D erotic movie, according to a newspaper report.
Stephen Shiu Jnr., chairman of One Dollar Production, said he would use special effects to make the love scenes in his 30 million-Hong Kong dollar (four million US) "3D Sex and Zen" as realistic as possible.
"The 3D erotica will probably be the world's first," he told the Sunday Morning Post.
"Just imagine that you'll be watching it as if you were sitting beside the bed."
The film is based loosely on the 17th century Chinese erotic classic "The Carnal Prayer Mat," a tale about how overindulgence in pleasure can lead to tragedy.
Shiu told the newspaper that about 25 to 30 percent of the movie would be love scenes, including many close-ups. He said the actresses would appear to be only a few centimentres (inches) from the viewers, who would have to wear special glasses to enjoy the 3D effects.
The producer said he was planning to use adult video actresses from Japan and Taiwan. But he admitted having difficulties in finding the male lead.
"We're having trouble finding a male lead who is willing to undress in front of the camera. It's a lot more difficult to find an actor than an actress for this kind of movie."
Shooting will begin in April and it is expected to be released in time for Christmas, the report said.
Hong Kong has seen the closure of many cinemas in recent years as traditional movie-goers switch to watching films on DVD at home.

5 Things You Didn't Know about Playboy

The emergence -- and instant success -- of Playboy magazine in 1953 was no accident: Its timing was perfect, arriving primed and ready on the porch just as the morning newspaper had for decades before. The Victorian era ended with the First World War, which was followed by global economic collapse and then the Second World War. Men emerged from these times utterly disillusioned and ready to reject the role of breadwinner, to renounce that responsibility and assume a leisure consumerism.However, consumerism -- shopping for yourself, indulging in that kind of vanity -- was at the time reserved largely for women, and decidedly effeminate for men. It was not the lifestyle associated with the strong heterosexual male. However, anyone who reads Playboy’s first issue can very easily hear Hugh Hefner’s staunch defense of this emerging lifestyle:“We don’t mind telling you in advance -- we plan on spending most of our time inside. We like our apartment…. We enjoy mixing up cocktails and an hors d’oeuvre or two, putting a little mood music on the phonograph and inviting in a female acquaintance for a quiet discussion on Picasso, Nietzche, jazz, sex.”With that mission statement in mind, here are five things you didn’t know about Playboy, the magazine that helped to launch a revolution.

1- Playboy wasn’t originally called Playboy

What we know as Playboy today came very close to being known as Stag Party, which perhaps only seems awful in posterity. Hefner’s preferred title was stifled by another magazine, an outdoor rag called Stag, which threatened him with legal action if he went ahead with that title.The name Playboy came at the suggestion of Hefner’s associate Eldon Sellers, whose mother had previously been employed at the then-defunct Playboy Automotive Company.

2- Playboy hosted TV’s first desegregated program

Playboy’s Penthouse premiered in late October 1959 and it served a few purposes -- among them it was hoped that the show would introduce Hefner to a wider audience and eliminate any notion that he was little more than a perverted

smut peddler. Granted, he was not the most engaging host, but he did explain the format on air to comedian Lenny Bruce, saying, “We're trying to build the personality of the show out of the magazine itself and make the thing a sort of sophisticated weekly get-together of the people that we dig and the people who dig us.”To that end, Hefner featured blacks and whites “partying” together, becoming the first nationally televised show to do so. Playboy’s Penthouse featured such acts as Ella Fitzgerald, Nat "King" Cole and Sarah Vaughn.

3- The Playboy rabbit head is hidden on almost every cover

The tradition of concealing Playboy’s rabbit head logo on the magazine’s cover began in the 1960s as nothing more than “a lighthearted way to challenge readers.” By the mid-1970s, Playboy’s headquarters were inundated with so many requests from bewildered readers who searched and searched but could not find it that the editors began offering hints on where to find him on the contents page. But even before the popular draw of the rabbit head, Playboy’s mascot was so recognizable that a reader was able to address a letter to Playboy’s headquarters by simply drawing the mascot on the envelope.

4- Playboy’s financial empire was built on clubs and casinos, not magazine nudes

There is no doubting the success of the magazine; the first issue sold out quickly, and the company was doing well enough in the following years to launch a short-lived television show. However, no other business venture brought the company the kind of exorbitant income the way its Playboy clubs and casinos did during the 1960s. For Playboy, they were an unprecedented revenue juggernaut.Hefner’s format for the club was, in short, a copycat of Chicago’s Gaslight Club, which Playboy had featured in a 1959 issue; members owned “keys” that gave them exclusive access to the clubs, where attractive, scantily clad women served drinks. The feature was such a hit that Hefner and partner Victor Lownes decided to open their own based on the ”Playboy” lifestyle. Being a member was a status symbol; in fact, although membership fees were $50 for locals and $25 for out-of-towners, it is estimated that only a small percentage of those members ever even entered a club. By the end of 1961, 132,000 members passed through its doors, making it, at the time, the busiest nightclub in the world.By the end of 1961, clubs had opened in New Orleans and Miami (ultimately about 40 would open worldwide), and in that first year alone those clubs garnered the company an astonishing $4.5 million in gross profits. The expansion into England, where the clubs were also casinos, earned Playboy more money than any other venture, before or since.

5- Playboy’s iconic logo was created in half an hour

All things considered, Playboy’s beginnings are extremely modest. The first issue was written almost entirely by Hefner in his Hyde Park,

Chicago kitchen. Seeking a mascot of sorts, he envisioned a rabbit because of its “humorous sexual connotation” and its “frisky and playful” image. The tuxedo was added for sophistication.Additionally, he choose a rabbit as a means of standing apart from Esquire and The New Yorker, which used men as symbols. According to Art Paul, Playboy’s first art director and the man who drew the logo, “If I had any idea how important that little rabbit was going to be, I probably would have redrawn him a dozen times to make certain I was doing him justice. … As it was, I did one drawing and that was it. I probably spent all of half an hour on it."

Getting Along With Your Ex-Wife

If you're a divorced man, by definition you have an ex-wife. You may or may not have children. Regardless, odds are that there is still some form of interaction between the two of you, even if only strictly for business (i.e., alimony). The interaction is almost guaranteed if you had children during your marriage. Certainly, you may harbor horrible feelings and sentiments for the woman that ruined your life, but it's time to grow up and reap the benefits of being civil and getting along with your ex-wife.

A cordial relationship will make for fewer awkward social meetings, make her more flexible when there is something to be negotiated or discussed, and make your future dating life easier, not to mention that getting along with your ex-wife will simply help keep you younger. Here are some suggestions on how to keep the relationship open -- without getting back together, of course.

Kill her with kindness

We've all heard this phrase before, and for the most part it's true. Typically in a

divorce, both parties have some problems that contributed to the demise of the marriage. You should take stock of your negative traits and then reverse the situation on your ex-wife. If you were always late showing up to events, be on time or even early. If you were great at hiding things, make an effort to be open, particularly with financially related matters.It may be no fun, but if you can work toward squashing her doubts about you it will make things much easier going forward in terms of issues like alimony and child support. For instance, you do not need her auditing your finances every year and asking for each of your pay stubs. If you create a trusting atmosphere, with boundaries, you will find a great deal of flexibility, which greatly alleviates the already stressful situation.

Be professional and objective

Although it can be an emotionally charged situation, you should make sure your correspondence with your ex-wife is strictly business in tone. Although certain issues or discussions may arouse some very strong feelings,

control your emotions and do not go down the road of personal insults or attacks when dealing with your ex-wife. Pick neutral, public sites to discuss big matters. Always be on time for your meetings, when you pick up the kids and when you send items such as child support and alimony. Most importantly, if a discussion deteriorates from professional and objective to emotionally charged, cut your losses and suggest reconvening when the dust clears. If you treat the situation more business-like, it is more likely to be reciprocated and end on a civil note rather than a negative falling out between the two of you.

Keep your opinions to yourself

You may hate her new boyfriend or think her decisions make no sense, but take the high road and keep your opinions to yourself when dealing with your ex-wife. Even if you have children together, your lives are no longer joined at the hip and each party has the right to make independent decisions. You may want to spout off, but ultimately you may find she was right and you were wrong. Even worse, if you do always give her your two cents and then you make a mistake, that will really give her something to laugh about -- and you'll lose almost all credibility going forward.

Be thoughtful

Even when both sides want the divorce and it ends relatively amicably, there is always

emotional baggage left over. You may want to flaunt your new perfect-10 girlfriend, but consider holding back. If you have the kids for the weekend, take some extra time to wash the dirty laundry: Sending the kids back with a bag of clean clothes will pick you up some points. Overall, despite your failed relationship, both of you are still human. Being thoughtful and courteous will make it easier to communicate about parenting issues and potentially amaze those in your social circle.

Live your life

The two of you used to be one, but now you are one and alone. Have the courage to make your own decisions and focus on yourself and your life. Occasionally, you may get some heat from your ex about your parenting skills, dating choices or lifestyle choices, but in the end, her doubts about those are her problems. Making your own choices sets healthy boundaries and ultimately may earn you some respect -- possibly to the point where she will not question every move you make.

Ex-tra marital affairs

Nobody grows up wishing they will one day be a divorcee or a single parent. Even when both sides are in agreement about moving on, it typically tends to be more of a sad, humbling experience rather than cause for celebration. Particularly if there are financial matters or children involved, your ex-wife will always be in the picture. So, make it easier on yourself by taking a little extra effort to keep the relationship with your ex amicable and respectable.

5 Reasons Not To Sleep With A Virgin

Taking a girl’s virginity is a popular male fantasy, but if they stopped to consider the reality of the situation, the fantasy might start to look more like a nightmare. It may be an ego boost to imagine being a girl’s first and taking her precious virginity, bookmarking yourself in the annexes of her mind forever. However, there are aspects of making her a woman that could be less than pleasurable. So, before you unlock that chastity belt, get an idea of what you’re getting yourself into. Here are five reasons not to sleep with a virgin that you should consider before taking the plunge.

1- There’s extra prep work

Unlike a more experienced woman, a virgin really doesn’t know what to expect. This means that you’re going to have to put in some effort before the deed is done and plan ahead to make sure that she’s comfortable and completely willing. It may take some considerable convincing on your part to get her into bed, and while that isn't one of our five reasons not to sleep with a virgin, your seduction skills will certainly be put to the test when it comes to taking a girl’s virginity. Also, the older she is, the harder it will be. If she has managed to protect her virginity all through high school and into her 20s, it will be that much more difficult to persuade her that she should give it up to you.

2- There’s a freak-out potential

When it comes to having sex with a virgin, the potential for her to freak out before, during or after the sex act is quite high. She may decide at the last minute that she doesn’t want to go through with it or she may feel massively guilty afterward for having done it. Because so much importance is put on her virginity, her first time is bound to be an emotional experience, which means that you might have to deal with panic, sadness, guilt, and other unpleasant reactions. She has probably imagined the event for a long time and wants it to go absolutely perfectly. If even the slightest thing doesn’t go according to plan, it could result in tears and tantrums. If you don’t like watching girls cry, don’t sleep with virgins. That’s a lot of pressure and that’s why it’s among our five reasons not to sleep with a virgin.

3- She’ll likely get attached

It is fairly likely that a recently devirginized girl will expect to have a lasting relationship with the guy that bedded her. If you’re not planning on becoming her boyfriend, or at least continuing to date her, don’t sleep with her. It’s really that simple. Very few girls imagine their first time with someone who drops off the face of the earth immediately afterward, never to be heard from again. She’s going to want you to stick around, so if a relationship is not in your plan, consider this point in our list of five reasons not to sleep with a virgin and find someone else to share your bed.

4- She lacks skills

Since she’s inexperienced, she’s probably not going to be that good in bed, and that’s a big reason not to sleep with a

virgin. There are exceptions to this rule, of course, since there are plenty of skills a girl can learn before she loses her actual virginity. If, however, she has little experience with sexual activity in general, the encounter is not going to be all that pleasurable for you. If all you want is the power trip that comes from taking her virginity, then you’re golden, but if you want a mutually satisfying sexual experience, you should look for someone who has had time to develop some sexual skills.

5- It could get messy

There is a possibility that having sex with a virgin could literally make a mess of your sheets. Being penetrated for the first time is likely to hurt her and it could result in some bleeding. If the sight of blood makes you squeamish, devirginizing a girl is not for you. A woman’s first

sexual experience can leave a very unsexy mess to clean up.

where no man has gone before

As you can see, taking a girl’s virginity is not all that it’s cracked up to be. There are groundwork concerns, emotional issues, commitment questions, technique problems, and other more tangible messes to deal with. So perhaps you should leave the devirginizing to the high school boys and look for a sexual encounter that isn’t quite so complicated.
