British Couple Arrested for Having Sex on Beach in DubaiContributor Elyse Franko recently wrote that Dubai is “the place where kids can be kids and dads can indulge their midlife crises.” But apparently it’s not the place where a couple of Brits can have sex on the beach and not get arrested.

COMMENTSI wonder how the Dubaian authorities feel about that cocktail… By on 7.10.08 at 12:35 PM
Sex on a beach is dirty anyways...the sand would get everywhere, especially where nobody wants it to go. Too bad the whole thing happened. With unlimited drinks, I expect something like this would happen. By Dave on 7.10.08 at 12:54 PM
I laughed outloud when I read this. Personally I dont think having sex on a beach is sexy. I agree with Dave, sand in your pants and other places. (LOL) By on 7.10.08 at 02:11 PM
LOL! That girl was totally sloshed. The article says they were let off once and did it again. By Ling on 7.10.08 at 09:41 PM
I would imagine intercouse is unlawful in public anywhere, but expect punishment to be more servere in the Middle East where even princesses are executed for adultery. Actions like these give Western Society a black eye. I was taught that I was an ambassador for my country (or race, religion, gender, etc) whenever I traveled overseas. By on 7.11.08 at 08:37 AM
It did say they did get a warning and got caught again. Who really stops midway when they’re that drunk? I was also taught the ambassador thinking too and you have to be extra careful in other countries. By Dave on 7.11.08 at 10:48 AM
