Toronto Massage Parlors: TO swingers’ clubs taking heat

… The activities that take place at these clubs have to be brought under control,” he insisted. “Right now, there’s no laws that governs these clubs or the swingers inside.”
The association has written to city councillors and licensing officials to take action.
City of Toronto spokesman Bruce Hawkins said there are no plans to start licensing the clubs, adding they are governed by the Criminal Code.
He noted “services” are not provided by owners of the clubs.
“The activity is carried out by the patrons,” he said in an e-mail.

Benzion said her club is different from a strip club or massage parlour, since her patrons “have a very different lifestyle.”

Toronto Adult Entertainment: Addict turned expert says mainstream view of addiction needs rethink

Ferentzy calls this an unrealistic and cruel standard to impose upon any addict and blames this line of thinking for the dramatic relapse, overdose, and death of his friend. “Unfortunately, many people consider dependence of any kind or degree to be a problem.
