LONDON — A new survey reveals more women are having wilder sex and watching porn.

The survey, done by the English Netmums website, found three-quarters of women having less sex because of longer work hours, but when they do have sex, they’re much more adventurous when compared to last year’s survey, TheSun.co.uk reported.

The study shows 76 percent of women use porn, that’s a 10 percent rise from last year’s survey of women who admitted watching porn with their partners.

The most popular format is online porn, which is watched by 61 percent of couples.

Just one couple in 20 looks at magazines, while 18 percent watch porn DVD’s.

The survey of 4,200 women also revealed four in five women like to dress up and indulge in role play.

A French maid uniform is used by 42 percent of women, followed by nurses uniform, while 16 percent of couples like the policewoman uniform.

More than half of the women said they use sex toys in the bedroom to add excitement.

“Our survey shows they are taking control in the bedroom,” Netmums founder Siobhan Freegard said. “They know what to do to get their sex lives back on track and are not afraid to experiment and introduce new methods to spice things up.”

“During this age of multi-tasking, when we all wish there were 25 hours in a day, at least women are going after quality sex when they are having it,” Katy Zvolerin, Adam & Eve’s public relations director told XBIZ. “That women are willing to experiment more and become more adventurous says a lot. We are finding that themed lingerie, costumes and toys are much more popular than in years past, and a great way to add fun in the bedroom.”

Last year’s survey showed more than half weren’t happy with their sex life, but this year more than 60 percent claimed to enjoy a fulfilling sex life.

SAN JOSE, Calif. — Last month, RedTube’s parent company Bright Imperial Ltd. won a little-noticed WIPO decision — it was able to convince an arbitrator to order a transfer the domain HQRedTube.com from an Estonia man.

With the binding decision, RedTube is likely to exploit the site to its full potential, offering high-quality tube feeds or fueling traffic to its cornerstone website.

Senja Dumpin, a student who lives in Tallinn, Estonia, told arbitrator Desmond J. Ryan through an interpreter that he didn’t make any money on the site and that RedTube “didn’t lose any money not having the domain.”

Further, Dumpin said that it HQRedTube.com never had content but only pointed to another site. “Now it is not pointing anywhere,” he told the arbitrator. “There was no case of any infringement.”

RedTube said that when it first corresponded with Dumpin in May, he said that he’d take down the site and include software in the deal for $10,000.

RedTube replied that it was not interested in the software but sought transfer of the domain name in return for “reasonable out-of pocket expenses.”

After Dumpin said he’d transfer the domain name for $2,100, Red Tube cut off all communication and filed a case with WIPO, a Geneva Internet policymaking and arbitrating board.

“[RedTube] shows that the current price charged by registrar GoDaddy.com for registration of a name in the .com domain is $10.69,” said.

RedTube contended at WIPO that its brand is well known in Dumpin’s country. It even pointed to articles about its website in prominent international publications, including the Financial Times and Esquire.

RedTube also provided audit statistics from rating agency Alexa.com, showing that in Estonia as of September that its site was the most popular adult website and the 64th most-popular site overall.

It also included as evidence that Dumpin’s HQRedTube.com included “advertisements for adult videos in competition with complainant and which, complainant alleges, copies the look and feel of complainant’s website.”

Dumpin, through the interpreter, said that he “does not understand is it really ‘against the law’ to buy some domain name. As a student he knows that anybody is allowed to buy any domain name.”

With the case, Ryan, the arbitrator, ruled that RedTube satisfied the formal requirements of the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy, as well as other tenets.

New offensive to curtail unfettered use of mobile networks reveals the government’s deep concern about its ability to control emerging technologies

BEIJING—It was easier in the old days when all you had to do to keep out the barbarian hordes was build the longest, highest wall on earth. Today, building impenetrable firewalls is much harder even if the ancient impulses remain stubbornly in place. So the Chinese government—along with several others—has been forced to conduct its campaign of intimidation against adult expression on the internet and mobile networks by more aggressive means.

Thursday, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) stepped it up once again, announcing that is will start requiring Chinese mobile carries China Mobile, China Telecom and China Unicom to examine the quality of their business partners.

“The MIIT also asked the internet service providers to supervise the content of websites and close irregular websites,” reported Xinhuanet.com. “The authorities will introduce a blacklist and the design of content-filtering technology to help network operators stem obscene content from reappearing.”

The World Censorship Olympics continues unabated.

CYBERSPACE—The domain that many people consider both the most valuable—potentially—and the most cursed—absolutely—is once again for sale. Sex.com will be auctioned off March 18 through David R. Maltz and Co., during a live action at the law offices of Windels Marx Lane & Mittendorf LLP in New York City.

In order to bid, potential buyers will have to provide a $1,000,000 bank certified check made payable to “Windels Marx Lane & Mittendorf, LLP, as escrow agent.”

Sex.com is the only domain to have a book written about it. The book was even possible because of the intrigue that surrounded the site after it was originally bought by Gary Kremen and then stolen by Stephen Cohen after he forged a letter to Network Solutions, which then transferred the domain to him. It took years and the intervention of several courts to finally return the domain to Kremen, who subsequently sold it in 2006 for an amount that is widely believed to have been somewhere between $10 million and $14 million. (The lower estimate is probably closer to the actual amount.)

The auction comes after Escom LLC, which was formed in 2006 to manage the domain, defaulted on its loan. The holder of that loan—New Jersey-based DOM Partners LLC—is auctioning the asset, according to a Notice of Foreclosure Sale available on the auction site.

The sale is for complete interest in the domain.

“All of Borrower’s interest in and to all right, title and interest in an undivided 100% interest in the internet domain name and related INERNIC registration of the URL www.sex.com, and 100% of all cash proceeds, accounts receivable, licensing rights and intellectual property rights directly associated with or derived from the ownership of such URL,” reads the notice.

Windels Marx Lane & Mittendorf LLP is located at 156 W. 56th St., New York, NY 10019.

CANOGA PARK, Calif.—Free Speech Coalition (FSC) Executive Director Diane Duke will take on two anti-porn people in a debate Friday afternoon, which means the odds are in her favor. The free speech maven will participate in the debate on censorship and First Amendment issues at the Law School of the University of North Carolina’s 2010 Symposium, to be held at the university’s Chapel Hill campus.

Duke will be a featured debater on the Censorship v. The First Amendment panel scheduled for Feb. 19 from 12:30pm – 2:00pm. She will represent a pro-sexually explicit speech viewpoint, debating with Duke University Law School professor and anti-adult entertainment advocate Katharine Bartlett and Parents’ Television Council President Tim Winter.

“While considered controversial, sexually explicit speech is a protected form of speech and contributes to establishing freedoms for other forms of expression,” Duke said. “Censorship is a slippery slope if you begin taking away an individual’s right to freedom of expression. Those rights should not be infringed upon by any group’s agenda, over the rights of the individual.”

LFP/Hustler founder and free speech advocate Larry Flynt will appear as the Symposium’s keynote speaker on Thursday.

FSC Board Chair and attorney Jeffrey Douglas also will speak on a panel to be held Friday, discussing issues of free speech and sexually explicit content with former U.S. Attorney Mary Beth Buchanan and First Amendment attorney Larry Walters. College of William & Mary Law School professor William W. Van Alstyne will moderate the discussion.
