Re the No casual sex - it’s immoral, say nine out of 10 women story. Are the phone numbers of those (statistically correct?) 46 women available from the research team, or are they a jealously guarded secret?

So nine out of 10 women say casual sex is immoral!? Not overly surprising, but a survey based on 46 people surely leaves a rather large margin for error!?

Helen’s comment about Metro only being interesting when read over someone’s shoulder (Wednesday letters) reminds me of a newspaper placard 20 years ago which read “There’ll be something interesting in tomorrow’s xxxxx.” On one poster at Victoria Station someone had scrawled “Bother - I’ve got today’s”.

But Mr Polanski’s lawyer told London’s High Court that the director had been “monstrously libelled for the sake of a lurid anecdote”.

Mr Polanski is suing over claims he made sexual advances to a woman shortly after his wife was murdered in 1969.

Vanity Fair magazine denies libelling Mr Polanski in the July 2002 article.

Timing of incident

The article said Mr Polanski made advances to “Swedish beauty” Beate Telle in New York restaurant Elaine’s shortly after the death of his wife, Sharon Tate.

The magazine has since accepted the incident did not happen when Mr Polanski was on his way back to Hollywood for Ms Tate’s funeral, but said it occurred about two weeks later.

Ms Tate was murdered by Charles Manson’s “family” at the couple’s home in Bel Air, California.

Mr Polanski won the right to testify from Paris, amid fears that if he entered the UK he would face extradition to the US, where he is still required to face child sex charges.

Tate was eight and a half months pregnant when she was killed

In his closing speech on behalf of the magazine’s publishers, Conde Nast, lawyer Tom Shields said the key to Mr Polanski’s libel action was “Roman’s law of morality”.

“This law knows of no rules - only violations of civilised conduct which, it appears, can be readily excused.”

He said the magazine’s case was that Mr Polanski was “well capable of behaving badly” by the end of August 1969.

Mr Shields said the fact that Mr Polanski had casual sex within a month of his wife’s death revealed a “certain callous adult dating online” to her memory.

An honourable man would not behave the way he behaved - even in the Swinging Sixties Defence lawyer Tom Shields

The defence lawyer added: “As to whether Mr Polanski’s reputation is capable of being damaged, sadly, we would say, it is beyond repair.”

He went on: “An honourable man would come to this court, an honourable man would return to California, an honourable man would not behave the way he behaved - even in the Swinging Sixties.”

Mr Shields added: “These matters are not minor blemishes on his reputation. They are scars which can never be healed.”

‘Symbolic award’

He urged the jury that even if his defence failed, he should not be entitled to any damages and the jury should give Mr Polanski “a symbolic award”, such as “the price of a cinema ticket”.

“By that symbolic award, you can send a message across the Channel about the moral values which decent people cherish.”

Mr Polanski’s lawyer, John Kelsey-Fry said the director had been in “utter grief” after his wife’s death, not - as the defence team claimed - “utter indifference”.

“The truth is that Mr Polanski was about as removed from callous indifference as is possible to imagine,” Mr Kelsey-Fry said.

He said that at a press conference on 19 August 1969, it had been an “casual dress sex datingy skirt fact” that Mr Polanski was not real casual sex dating to his wife’s name and memory, “but precisely the contrary”.

“He was at pains - and I mean obvious pain - to honour it, protect it and defend it,” Mr Kelsey-Fry said.

“The burden is on the defence to prove their case. The most obvious witness to call if their case is true, and she supports it, is Beate Telle,” he added. “You have heard not one word of evidence from her.”

In summing up, Mr Justice Eady told the jury that “much has been made of Mr Polanski’s lifestyle and his attitude towards casual sex in his earlier years”.

But he said it was important to remember that it was not a “court of morals”, adding: “We are not here to judge Mr Polanski’s personal lifestyle.”

Telling them that an “absolute maximum ceiling” of 200,000 in damages could be awarded, he sent the jury out to begin their deliberations.

The case was adjourned until Friday.

Anvar Khan also claimed she saw Mr Sheridan taking part in group sex with another woman and his brother-in-law.

The accusations were made at the Court of Session in Edinburgh where Mr Sheridan is suing the News of the World newspaper for defamation.

The Sunday tabloid published a series of stories about the MSP’s sex life which he claims were untrue.

On the fifth day of the civil action, Ms Khan, 38, claimed she flew from London to Glasgow to meet up with Mr Sheridan, his brother-in-law Andrew McFarlane and Scottish Socialist Party member Catrine Trulle in November 2002.

She testified that Mr Sheridan took part in a threesome with Mr McFarlane and Ms Trulle before driving to a swingers club in Adult gay dating, where Mr Sheridan paid the entry fee for the party of four.

“It was very much a place where people go to have casual sex but it was not a sexy environment,” she said.

‘Open relationship’

Ms Khan told the court she first met Mr Sheridan in 1992 when she interviewed him in Saughton Prison, Edinburgh.

The jury heard she was working as a journalist for The Herald newspaper, while the MSP was serving a jail sentence for his role in the Poll Tax protests.

She said their “on-off casual sex relationship” continued after Mr Sheridan married his wife, Gail, in June 2000.

Ms Khan said: “He always maintained he had an open relationship.

“My position is that it is the married man who takes the vows. I was single.”

Ms Khan told the court she first met Mr Sheridan in 1992

Earlier on Monday, the court heard from a friend of Mr Sheridan’s who said he almost quit working for the Socialist MSP after hearing about a stag night party in a Glasgow hotel.

Keith Baldassara, 49, said he considered leaving his post after Mr Sheridan’s brother-in-law spoke about a “night of madness”.

Mr Baldassara told how he heard about the stag night party held for Andy McFarlane, who married the sister of Mr Sheridan’s wife, Gail.

He said: “He (Mr McFarlane) just commented about an event in a hotel which was madness. He just said it was a night of madness.

“He said there wasn’t enough room in the bed and there was somebody specially flown in from Birmingham for the night.”

‘Consenting adults’

Mr Baldassara said he later spoke to Mr Sheridan about the party and the politician admitted he was at the stag night, but that was all.

“He said he didn’t casual seb sex dating sop. I accepted that,” he said.

“He said he was present but confirmed to me that a lady from Birmingham was brought in but he said it was consenting adults who were happy to be involved.

“I didn’t have any issue with that. I never had an issue with that. My main concern was that it was paid for. He assured me that it wasn’t.”

The court heard the two men are no longer friends though Mr Baldassara is still the MSP’s parliamentary case worker.

The Glasgow calgary casual sex dating also said he had been told, by Mr Sheridan, of a visit to a swingers club in Manchester accompanied by Ms Trulle.

Mr Sheridan is suing News Group Newspapers, publishers of the News of the World, for 200,000.

Mrs Hodge said many schoolgirls have children at an early age because they lack self-esteem.

She is urging young mothers to lecture their peers in schools in a bid to cut the number of unwanted pregancies.

“You do want children to put off having sex at such a young age,” Mrs Hodge told the Woman wanting casual sex dating newspaper.

She said: “You do want them to have appropriate contraceptives and you want responsibility from such girls and boys.

“What is really interesting is this contraceptive injection. If people are having sex, you don’t want them to have babies at that age.”

Stayed together

She branded single motherhood a “bad thing” and said it was best for children if their parents stayed together.

Mrs Hodge warned of the dangers of teenage pregancies and she urged young mothers to go into schools to make their peers more aware of the problem.

I want to get teen mums to go into the classroom and explain how hard it is, how poor you are, how you lose all your friends and how lonely it is Margaret Hodge

“I want to get teen mums to go into the classroom and explain how hard it is, how poor you are, how you lose all your friends and how lonely it is,” she added.

But anti-abortion group Life criticised Mrs Hodge’s comments.

Life trustee, Nuala Scarisbrick, said: “The last 24 hours have seen an onslaught on our children urging them to have sex.

“First the Family Planning Association announces plans to issue a guidebook extolling the virtues of casual sex, looking for casual sex dating and single adult dating site regardless of age, then Margaret Hodge, Minister for Children, declares that girls under the age of consent should be offered contraceptive injections.

“The age of consent is there for good reason, to protect children from the kind of exploitation and casual sex dating com being promoted by the FPA and the Government.

“We should do everything in our power to ensure that these immoral guides do not reach our children.”

‘Informed decisions’

A spokesman for the Department for Education and Skills said the Government does not promote any one form of contraception over another.

He added: “Young people that cannot be persuaded to abstain from sexual activity should have access to health professionals to help them make informed decisions about the method of contraception that is most appropriate for them.

“Such young people should also be encouraged to talk to their parents”.

According to recent figures released by the charity Brook, one in 10 young people has already had sex by the age of 14.

As a result, the organisation recently launched a safe sex text messaging service in an attempt to cut pregnancies and sexually transmitted infections.

He is suing over a claim he made sexual advances to a woman in a restaurant on the way to his wife’s funeral.

The Oscar-winning director spoke to the London High Court via video link from Paris, where he lives, as if he enters the UK he faces extradition to the US.

Publisher Conde Nast denies libel over an article published in July 2002.

Mr Polanski won the right to testify by video amid fears that if he entered the UK he would have to face child sex charges in the US.

He told the jury of nine men and three women: “This was the worst thing ever written about me. It’s absolutely not true.

“But I think it was particularly hurtful, because it dishonours my memory of Sharon,” he added.

That’s not the way I behave. Still I had some honour. Still I have it now Roman Polanski

The article referred to events following the death of Mr Polanski’s wife, actress Sharon Tate, who was murdered by followers of US serial killer Charles Manson in Los Angeles in 1969.

“It’s all lies,” said Mr Polanski, wearing a black suit and standing during his testimony. “That’s not the way I behave. Still I had some honour. Still I have it now.”

Mr Polanski struggled to maintain his composure as he spoke of his late wife.

Sexual casual date sex dating

“Sharon was sweet, bright, brilliant. She had a great sense of humour. She was in my eyes the perfect woman.”

However, Tom Shields, lawyer for Vanity Fair, which published the article, suggested that Mr Polanski was not just a fugitive from justice, but something “grotesque” - a “fugitive from morality, from moral standards”.

“Well, you are putting it in a grotesque way,” replied Mr Polanski.

Questioned about his sexual promiscuity, Mr Polanski admitted he had been unfaithful to Ms Tate before and during their marriage.

In such moments some people turn to drugs, others to alcohol, some go to a monastery - to me it was sex Roman Polanski

He spoke of how he sought solace in the opposite sex after the death of his wife, but was “unable to develop any lasting casual encounter sex dating“.

“The death of Sharon and the whole tragedy and of my friends was immeasurably sad to me,” said Mr Polanski. “In such moments some people turn to drugs, others to alcohol, some go to a monastery - to me it was sex.”

Mr Polanski’s lawyer, John Kelsey-Fry, said action was not about the director’s “somewhat laissez-faire attitude to casual sex” earlier in his life.

The director was convicted of having unlawful sex with a 13-year-old girl in Hollywood in 1977. He fled the US and faces immediate arrest should he return.

Actress Mia Farrow is expected to testify at the trial

Mr Kelsey-Fry said the incident was a “most unsightly blot” on Mr Polanski’s reputation, but that it had nothing to do with the current libel case.

He said the accusations levelled at the director in the Vanity Fair article suggested “a callous casual sex dating dateline to what had happened and to his wife’s memory of adult dating sex web site proportions”.

Publisher Conde Nast is based in the United States, but the claim is being pursued in the English courts, which are perceived as being more generous toward libel claimants.

Actress Mia Farrow is also expected to testify, in person, on behalf of the director with whom she made Rosemary’s Baby in 1968.

The case continues.
