Sligo Sex Tourism

starbelgrade · 02-07-2008 11:47am #1

I got stopped in the street this morning by a sex tourist. Yes, you read it correctly - A SEX TOURIST. It was a man in his 70's who told me he was up for the day from Roscommon, that he knew there was a sex shop somewhere in the vicinity as he'd been there before & asked me if I could give him directions, pointing out that he "couldn't just stop & ask anyone". Feeling mildly insulted that he'd considered me a suitable person to ask, I sent him in the direction of Sligo's Red Light District.

Maybe I should set up a Sligo Sex Tourism Board & charge for giving directions. Even with the economic downturn, sex is one thing that always sells. :P

I love that he's clearly losing his memory since he's old and ****, but he still knows that teh sexeh business is important. Also, aren't you a computer nerd by trade? They always know where the best porn is!!!

Sligo's Red Light District??

I was on my way home from training once - a monday evening at around 10, I think, and some Dublin guy who was staying in a B&B stopped me to ask me where all the 'play girls' were... I think I sent him up Crozon direction :pac:

Lolz. In Galway there's a porn cinema. I haven't been (yet).

You'd want to make it snappy if you plan on going - the council are bringing the owners to court soon to get an injunction to close them down as they'd no planning permission for it!

Well, it seems the sex shop industry here is thriving. There's an article in today's Sligo Post about "Sex in Sligo"... a documentary made for TV3 to be aired in Autumn. In it, they interview the owner of ESI - another sex shop in Sligo (that I was unaware of) - in Market Yard.

The owner, who also has a sister shop in Carrick-on-Shannon, says "business is going very well", with their biggest seller being "the crazy rabbit vibrator" and they also do a "big trade on Herbal highs & BB guns".

One can only presume that his client base is rather varied, otherwise, there's a lot of (un)satisfied women running around Sligo, high on herbal pills, toting BB guns, which sounds like a rather bizarre version of a Prince lyric. :eek:

Unsatisfied women!!!, there's a dig if ever I saw one. What did you mean by that man?

brianthebard · 02-07-2008 1:13pm

they should change the paper's name to the smut post tbh. also star, thanks but I wasn't actually planning to go!! I was in galway a few weeks ago and there was a lot of coverage of it in the local paper.

None at all - I like crazy, gun toting women.. especially after seeing "Planet Terror"!

I should have said un/satisfied women.. with the big trade in vibrators, presumably the women of Sligo are and aren't getting satisfaction (it's the before & after syndrome!).

Methinks ye doth protest too much (!). I actually heard about it on the Matt Cooper show on Today FM. There was one guy saying it was disgraceful to have such a place near children might be around (like, where on earth AREN'T there children near something?!) while another guy argued against him, saying that he reminded him of Father Ted & Dougal protesting outside the cinema with their "Down with that sort of thing" placards.

Why is it that a thread that was started as a light-hearted topic now has "digs" in it?

I'm assuming starbelgrade was being sarcastic when he mentioned the unsatisfied women in Sligo and I laughed at it.

And thanks starbelgrade but now I have thoughts in my head of old men and sex shops. /shudder!

I would be in line to go to that porn cinema even if just for the experience. Although you would be worried about what everyone in the audience is doing wouldn't you?

Sherifu · 02-07-2008 1:28pm

I read about some dogging locations last week. Any good to anyone?

Well seen as business is thriving, I'm guessing the womenfolk are doing just fine.

I'll be walking round town sneering at little old men now.

Light hearted? I was (as ever), being completely serious.

Myself & the missus have recently been racking our brains trying to come up with a goo idea for a business we can run between us in Sligo.. I'm starting to ponder the idea now of a mobile sex cinema.. no planning permission required!!

I read / heard something recently (where, I dunno) about a bloke being arrested for cracking one off in a sex cinema (again, I can't remember where)... so that might answer your worried thoughts. If we did set up the business, I don't suppose you'd be interested in "moderating" the behaviour of the clientele?

Oops, I meant to say that we've been "racking our brains trying to come up with a GOOD idea for a business", but I suppose the original post might be just as appropriate, considering the nature of the thread!

You hear the strangest things Starbelgrade. And then you wonder why old men stop you on the street to ask where the nearest sex shop is. Obviously you look like the kind of person who'd be interested in the sex shops!

Pay me well enough and I may consider the offer!

Just like in South Park, pay for your own room. Remember Butters had his own episode and went "undercover", tracking his father down....very funny.....:D

Butters: [reporting to his mother what he saw when he spied on his father, who was on gay escapades] Yeah, and then he went wrestling.
Mrs. Stotch: Wrestling?
Butters: Yeah, he wasn't very good, this one guy had him pinned for 15 minutes straight.
[Mrs. Stotch faints]

With all the sex trade going on here - from dogging, to male & female escorts, to sex shops - we're certainly doing our best to boost the local economy... amazing that the Chambers have more objections to Argos than they do to our thriving sex industry.

Now if only we could find some way of getting in on the action, we'd be doing well. The financial action that is, of course.

Great advert for Sligo, home of Yeats, Westlife, Aine and smut.

Hail 2 Da Chimp · 02-07-2008 4:40pm

It's finally happened - you've gone mad with power and turned your back on the lovely Áine, you used to be her biggest fan...

Also notice how this thread is titled "Sligo Sex Tourism" and we're talking about Áine...?

Coincidence?
