Bum Sex
“A homeless couple protesting a lack of housing in Stockholm placed a bed in the middle of a downtown square and had sex in front of numerous spectators, police said today… ‘They had a sign saying ‘Even homeless people want to have sex‘, and then they did,’ police spokeswoman Carolin Karlsson told AFP. ‘They even had a dog at the foot of the bed.’ For 90 minutes the couple had sex under the covers, before police, summoned by multiple calls from offended onlookers, broke up the party. Many families with young children were especially offended, while a number of spectators took the opportunity to take pictures of the lovemaking with their cellphone cameras, according to Swedish media at the scene.” — Herald Sun (Australia)

If you live in a big city — PervScan is in New York — there are all kinds of weird things you get to see from time to time: junkies with needles hanging out of their arms, homeless people shitting, maybe even someone jumping off a bridge or apartment building. And no doubt one of the things that stands out from this panorama of the sick and astonishing is when you happen to see two bums having sex. You’ll be walking along the street wrapped up in your thoughts, or maybe you’re having an intense conversation with somebody on a first date, and then all of a sudden you see it — two humping bodies beneath a stoop, or two filthy bums going at it on a loading dock after closing hours. Ugh. You laugh, but it’s sort of a helpless laugh, since you wish you hadn’t seen it.
Just what is it that makes bum sex so disturbing? It must have something to do with how sex normally encapsulates all our desires for beauty, love, happiness. Suddenly when you see it transformed into what appears to be its very opposite — ugliness, filth, misery — it gives you that same ill feeling you get when you find a cockroach crawling on your toothbrush. What makes it even worse is that you associate sex with intimacy, proximity, nearness, touch of skin and sharing of fluids, and so the thought of being so intimate with ugliness, so proximate with filth, so near to misery, makes your skin crawl.
Without quite articulating the thought, you feel that the bums are committing a kind of injustice or sacrilege. Sex is desire and desire is always for beauty — and yet it seems impossible that these bums, with their greasy hair and garbage breath, could find each other desirable or beautiful. What kind of romantic evening could they possibly have? Supper in a dumpster, followed by a movie on a tv plugged into a light pole, and then sex in a secondhand sleeping bag? Does the homeless guy wear a used condom that he rinsed out in the East River? It’s hard not to imagine that even bum semen is dirty — coffee grinds and little bits of orange peel in it.
Maybe you should have a Sex in Public category.
Is Bum Sex in Public any more profane than –say — congressman sex on the steps of the Capital building in DC? (As I recall a congressman once bragged about shagging his wife or girlfriend on the steps of some public sacrosanct place, which is not much different perhaps than sex in church [always a thrill] or sex in a graveyard.)
Bum Sex is a lot less disturbing than Bum Fights.
Your characterization of homeless folks as bums strikes me as an unfortunate kneejerk stereotype. Not at homeless fit your description of the bums of New York — probably a small percentage of the homeless in New York fit that description. (But then what do I know, small town boy.)
International Sex in Public::
BERLIN (Reuters) – Norwegians have the world’s strongest yearning for sex in public places, according to a survey published in Germany.
The survey by a publisher of romance novels of 6,600 people from 20 countries found Norwegians were more likely to have sex in public places than any other nationality — 66 percent said they had had such sexual encounters.
The places where the sex took place included cars, trains, airplanes, beaches, parks, changing rooms, offices and libraries.
Australians came in second with 64 percent, Greeks were third at 60 percent, Sweden and Argentina were tied for fourth at 55 percent while Germany was fifth with 47 percent.
The survey by the Cora publishing house questioned about 400 people in each country, spokeswoman Nina Steinhart said.
At the bottom of the list was France. Only 13 percent of the French surveyed said they had had sex in public places — even fewer than the 15 percent of Canadians and 21 percent of Americans.

But then who’s counting?
“desire is always for beauty” -Oh, wait, no –no time to debunk this chestnut. Hie thee to the sacred missionary position to procreate.
Then there’s the book Sex in Public:
The Incarnation of Early Soviet Ideology

real bum sex
I hardly think that the economic and social status of these individuals is relevant to the general issue. The very fact that they are indulging in this behaviour in public is an outrage irrespective of these factors. Completely disgraceful, and bizarre.
