Canadian Court Lifts Ban On "Swingers" Clubs

(From Reuters)

Group sex among consenting adults is neither prostitution nor a threat to society, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled on Wednesday as it lifted a ban on so-called "swingers" clubs.

In a ruling that radically changes the way courts determine what poses a threat to the population, the top court threw out the conviction of a Montreal man who ran a club where members could have group sex in a private room behind locked doors.

"Consensual conduct behind code-locked doors can hardly be supposed to jeopardize a society as vigorous and tolerant as Canadian society," said the opinion of the seven-to-two majority, written by CHIEF JUSTICE BEVERLEY McLACHLIN.

The decision does not affect laws against prostitution because no money changed hands among the adults having sex.
