Standards

Perhaps you thought Holland's free-for-all sex culture had no standards. You may have thought that the recent arrest of an HIV-positive rape gang, which sexually assaulted men with the intention of infecting them with the AIDS virus, was unsurprising, given the prevailing sexual ethic in the Netherlands, which is pretty much, "The only thing that is forbidden is to forbid."

Well, you're wrong. There are, in fact, standards in the liberal paradise. From the news account:

The case has deeply unsettled the Netherlands, and caused it to cast a hard look at its easygoing views on sex, with some figures suggesting that frequent homosexual orgies posed a public health risk.

"That homos organise orgies is nothing new, but this is something else. This is unimaginable," said Frank van Dalen, the president of a gay rights group called COC.

Everybody?
