It seems Italy isn’t embarrassed to bring self-love into the public sphere. The country’s highest court has ruled that masturbation in public is not a crime, as long as you’re not getting off in the presence of minors. The decision came from the Italian Supreme Court after overturning a case involving a 69-year-old man who was caught masturbating in public.

“The man was convicted in May 2015 after he performed the act in front of students on the University of Catania campus, according to documents filed with Supreme Court,” reports CNN. The man’s lawyer appealed the conviction on the grounds that public masturbation out of the presence of minors was decriminalized last year. The man ended up with just a fine, not prison, since the criminal code only calls for imprisonment of up to four-and-a-half years if the act is witnessed by a minor. Maybe Italy will become a tourist destination for exhibitionists?

Looking for a little self-love yourself? Ain’t nothing criminal about masturbating here!

NEWS: Sex Sells in Silicon Valley

Silicon Valley is filled with innovation, entrepreneurship, and sex workers! CNN unveiled that the Silicon Valley has a thriving sex industry, where women are charging up to $400-$500 per hour.  This makes total sense, the work obsessed young Internet moguls in the valley don’t have time to wine and dine, so dropping $500 on a wham-bam-thank-you-ma’am with a professional seems like the feasible route to take.

Don’t let these sex workers fool ya though, it must be something in the air over there, but they’re just as tech savvy as their rich clients. A few sex workers explained they’re accepting credit card transactions by utilizing Square, a credit card reader that attaches to your smartphone, the workers are registering it as a “consulting service”. I’m completely blown (pun intended) away by the business driven minds in the Valley!  Sounds like something we can incorporate into our own little world, huh?  😉

Some of these working women are becoming avid social media enthusiasts working in the sex industry too! “Everything I know about social media marketing I learned doing sex work,” sex worker Kitty Stryker told CNNMoney. “Currently I’m using Hootsuite a lot; I’m using Klout a little bit. I also use Twitter calendar, which is just this simple free thing, but it’s got very interesting analytics data.” I’m confident these women have some clients that could assist setting up their very own Facebook Business Page, LOL.
