Cops in Edinburgh, Scotland are cracking down on the underground sex trade industry. First stop, the Edinburgh sauna scene. In March of this year, there was a series of raids covering half of Edinburgh\u2019s 13 saunas. These businesses that were busted had their licenses suspended. Some were allowed to reopen after appealing the decision.<\/p>\n

To read what the cops found go to Police reveal seedy details of Edinburgh saunas<\/a><\/b><\/u> <\/p>\n

But that is just the start. The cops are now making an official request to city council that all licensed saunas not to provide condoms. Essentially banning condoms from all bathhouses. The thinking is that a readily available condom keeps the sex trade in these saunas alive.<\/p>\n

UPDATE<\/strong> City councilors renewed the public entertainment licenses of all five in a public hearing.<\/p>\n

They also threw out most of the additional conditions police asked for, including a demand that \u201cno items of a sexual nature\u201d should be on the premises.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
