Is Modesty No Longer a Virtue?

An erotic festival that usually finds success in London closed early due to lack of interest in the northern English city of Manchester.

An event spokesman told Reuters that, ÒWe thought Manchester was an open minded city but maybe we were wrong...People flock to our show in London but it seems that up here, the traditional northern male still calls the shots.Ó According to the report, organizers aren't going to try again.

So what? Not everyone wants to go to a "show" that features sex toys, kinky clothing and footwear (what the...?). Why is it when some people don't feel comfortable flaunting sex they are considered to be repressive and backward? What's wrong with keeping sex in the bedroom?

Apparently, northern England isn't "progressive."
