Facebook removes ‘gay sex for rent’ posts

Facebook has removed a group in which landlords were offering young men free accommodation in return for sex.
A BuzzFeed News investigation found dozens of UK posts on Facebook, Craigslist and RoomBuddies offering men a place to live in return for sex.
Offering accommodation in exchange for sex is illegal under the Sexual Offences Act 2003.
Facebook and RoomBuddies said they removed such adverts when they were reported.
BuzzFeed News found posts on several sites including Facebook, created by men seeking “houseboys” or “live-in personal assistants”.
Many of the posts were explicit about the nature of the agreement. “This position would ideally include sex and lots of affection from our boy,” said one post.
“You will clean and provide sexual services in return for free accommodation and board,” said another.
The news site also found posts from those desperate to find accommodation who had turned to Facebook as a last resort.
“Willing to [go] where ever I’m needed,” said one man from Florida. “Nowhere to go.”
In February, the BBC spoke to several women who had been offered free accommodation in return for sex.
However, BuzzFeed News reporter Patrick Strudwick said gay men were also being “lured into these arrangements” with “often devastating consequences”.
He spoke to one man who had failed to qualify for council housing because he was single and childless. Mr Strudwick said it was “a common barrier for gay men”. The man was raped several times by his landlord.
Facebook told BuzzFeed News it had spent “a long time looking into this” and that posts offering free accommodation in return for sex “violate Facebook’s standards”.
RoomBuddies said it removed such posts when they were reported or spotted by moderators.

In an interview on Adom News Thursday, the Mankessim queenmother revealed that, many marriages are collapsing due to the men’s inability to satisfy their wives in bed. “Most of these women are committing adultery just to satisfy their sexual pleasures” she added.

Ghana Ranks 1st in World Manhood Ranking

A graph revealing the average size of a man’s erect penis from all over the world has surfaced online and Africa is topping the list. Ghanaian men have the world’s largest penises, while Nigerian ranks 5th according to the latest ranking. South African men are ranked at number 10. It appears countries such as Asian countries such as India, Thailand and South Korea are not as gifted in terms of ‘eggplant’ as they are sitting at the bottom of the table. Nigeria is in the top five with Gabon, Jamaica, and Haiti. Target Map published a graph showing the differing lengths of a male’s manhood size across the World and Africa, Western Africa particular, takes the top spot. Target Map created the colour-coded interactive infographic which shows the different sizes of men’s manhood depending on where they’re from. The African countries have the largest manhoods while erect, while orange comes second, yellow is in middle, light green is the smallest and green is the smallest. ...

Mauritania court gives toughest sentence for slave owners

Two slave owners in Mauritania have been jailed in a country where slavery remains widespread but convictions rare, activists say. The sentences of 10 and 20 years are said to be the toughest-ever for the crime in the West African country. Slavery was outlawed in 1981 but 1% of the population are still living in bondage, human rights groups say. Black people of certain ethnic groups are often enslaved as domestic workers by lighter-skinned Mauritanians. The country has jailed more anti-slavery activists than slave owners, rights groups say. The court in the north-western town of Nouadhibou gave a 20-year prison sentence to Hamoudi Ould Saleck. His father – who died before the trial ended – received the same sentence posthumously. Both were accused of “reducing to slavery” a family, two of whom were children. A woman, Revea Mint Mohamed, was jailed for 10 years for keeping three slaves – one of whom was a 29-year-old who had been kept since she was a small girl. Both cases had...
