She said she went shopping one day and walking through the store, she suddenly found herself aroused by everything in sight, smells in the air and everything she touched.

A United Kingdom man, Paul Watson, of Lancashire, has been dragged to Blackpool Magistrate's Court for using high strength adhesive to gum his girlfriend's vagina on suspicions that she is cheating on him. The 44-year-old Watson was charged with malicious wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm. Mr Watson, according to first information obtained by the police, had confessed to the crime but claimed his girlfriend has been cheating on him and has found it difficult to keep her legs close, so the best way to tame her was to use the glue to hold her private parts together and stop her from sleeping around. But the action has been termed a serious crime against the woman and Watson could face a jail sentence if convicted when he is brought before the Preston Crown Court.

While most of us wouldn't dare to say anything, one man decided to confront his lusty neighbours by writing an amazing letter and pinning it to their front door.

They couldn't wait to get home? A horny couple was filmed by an on-looker having sex at the popular Bluewater shopping complex car park in Kent, UK, last week. Kent's official twitter handle @Kent_999s said the man and woman started off by kissing and before they knew what was going on, the man pulled down the woman's jeans and they started having sex right there while leaning against a black Citroen car. The guy who took the photo shared them on Kent's Twitter page and explained what he'd just witnessed. Of course, it got a lot of re-tweets...and the attention of police. The police have so far not gotten involved though having sex in a public place is an offense.

The Pyrates Confraternity, was founded by seven prominent Nigerians back in their days as undergraduate students at the University of Ibadan in 1953. It was the brain child of Nobel Laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka, who got 6 of his friends - Nat Oyelola, Sylvanus Egbuche, Pius Olehi, AIG Imokhuede, Ralph Okwara and Prof. Bolanle Awe, involved. Prof. Awe, who is now a pastor at Fullness of Christ Evangelical Ministry (FOCEM) in Ibadan explains how it all started... The idea was conceived by Wole himself, at least I know he was the one who talked to me. I don’t know who spoke to the other five members but we actually assembled at Teeder Hall, the second hall to be completed after Melamby. We assembled in the basement and just made merry in the evening. We were just out to be different and I saw it to be fun. None of us envisaged that we were laying the foundation of a virulent cult in that 1953/54 session, though the association insisted that it was in 1952 hence they celebrate...

See what she has caused for herself, why slapping him, what do you want to prove.
