Love at the strangest of places

By Tony Ngare

In Nairobi, you will be breaking the law if you talk on your cell phone while crossing the street. The City Fathers do not buy that multi-tasking gimmick, but there is something that you could do without attracting the attention of a hawk-eyed city council askari.

They call it the PDA (not a Personal Digital Assistant!). That is public display of affection. It appears that this form of PDA has been taken to the next level, where one succumbs to temptation.

Caught in the act

Most of us, whether sober or not, may be too shy to exchange a steamy lip kiss in a crowd. It may be due to our social norms, spiritual beliefs or just the belief that anything to do with love is best done in the dark. But when overwhelmed with sexual desire, some people simply give in, the place notwithstanding.

A recent study whose results were published in One India revealed the weird places where lovers have been caught in the act, including police stations and churches.

Here are some of the very unlikely places that couples have been spotted canoodling:

Canal Path: Scots Gareth Black and Clair Muir were caught sharing a moment of passion in broad daylight by policeman on the bank of Falkirk’s Union Canal in Scotland. It was the locals who called the police after spotting them from their windows.

Office toilet-: A worker at Newcastle’s Rural Payments Agency was fired after a CCTV camera caught him having sex with a colleague in the office toilets and running around their desks naked.

Church: When Italian cops were called to a church in the northern city of Cesena, they didn’t know what kind of worshiping they’ll encounter — a 31-year-old labourer and his 32-year-old female teacher partner were having oral sex inside.

Stranger than fiction

Crane: Construction worker Justin Dunn was accused of having "sexual relations" in a crane by cops who were called to the scene. However, when the 23-year-old came down with his 35-year-old partner, they denied doing anything naughty in the air.

Tram Stop: When a British couple was getting bored waiting for their tram, they got a rather raunchy idea —the 29-year-old woman and her 17-year-old tomboy got naked and started having sex in the street. Cops came after a CCTV camera in Croydon, South London alerted them about the cheeky happenings.

War Memorial: A French couple received a four-month suspended jail term after getting caught making a porno at a World War I memorial.

Police Station: Cops found a tipsy American couple — Dennis Cullen and a lady friend — making love in a vehicle in the car park of a police station.

Frao’s addition: Inside a heated swimming pool by the moonlight or even on the beach is also superb.

Yours truly says enough said, take your pick.
