AN EYE ON... sexual deviation
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Moscow: psychologists, lawmakers and political activists have joined forces to launch a campaign against sex education in Russian schools. They fear that increased knowledge: "will lead not only to sexual looseness and sexual excesses, but it will also lead to a tremendous growth of psychological pathologies and spur drug addiction and alcoholism".
Spain: the country's first matchmaking service for pets has opened in the city of Girona. The "Happy Animals" agency promises to help owners and breeders find the perfect mates for their pets, for reproduction or just companionship. The agency plans to work initially with dogs, cats and birds but may branch out later to accept snakes and other reptiles.
Geneva: more than 250 erotic timepieces and other precious objects were sold at an auction in Geneva last weekend, ranging from a half-dressed lady engraved on a cigarette case to a gold watch, circa 1900, with a hidden compartment featuring a semi-naked monk making love to a nun. The total proceeds amounted to $2m.
