Do You Have A Legitimate Right To A Gangbang?
The municipality of Duncanville, Tx that is suburb of Dallas has been involved in its own petite Jerry Falwell style holy scripture belt combat with the founders of a privileged ”swinger couples club” called “The Cherry Pit“. The Cherry Pit is a private landed property tucked in away in an upscale Duncanville housing area. The Cherry Pit publishes on the web and according to advertised information draws as many as 100 swingers to a weekly party.
The Cherry Pit has been holding drunk parties where guests pay a charge for admission and are allowed get involved in almost any kind of sexualgroup sex actions they want on the location. It is the position of the hosts that this does not constitute a “business” as the entry fee is to cover the cost of foodstuff, beverages etc and not a fee for the privilege of engaging in sex from the tame to the “Pulp Fiction” apple in the mouth brand of entertainment…. It is rumored for an extra service money they will even “bring out the gimp“….(just kidding)
This whole deal happened latein December of 2007 when after few years of Cherry Pitt neighbors complaining about the crime, traffic and “unsavory element” “the pit” was bringing to the area, the City of Duncanville passed the next ordinance:
“the function and maintenance of a sex to be illegal and a public nuisance. Violation of the new order can result in a fine of up to $3,000.”
The city of Duncanville then decided that the gatherings at the Cherry Pit were more than simply a party of “friends and family” looking for some fun and resoluted that it was Really a sexually oriented business and subject to the law. The response of Julie Norris, one of the founders of “The Pit” was the following:
“I don’t recognize what their definition of a business is, but to my understanding a business is public – anyone can simply walk into it and you shall pay to get in and we are none of that,” Norris said. “I accept gifts. Have you ever had your friends over for a grill and asked everybody to pitch in $10 or bring a bowl? That is exactly what we do. The only requirement to get into my house is that a person call and let me know that you are coming and you are on my reservation list.”
Ms Norris continued to state that she believed that the order is a excuse to assault their way of life and values and that the decree regulating the club violated their First Amendment Rights to Privacy.
“It boils down to people want to put their principles into my private home and I have to stand against that,” Norris said. “That is not what the Constitution allows.”
The owners of the Cherry Pit afterward counter sued the city claiming the order banning adult clubs violates their confidentiality and due process rights. They are basically using the same argument under which a right to privacy was found under Roe v. Wade. They have to use this method in making the right to privacy argument because there is actually no right to personal privacy spelled out in the Constitution.
The Cherry Pit’s lawer, Edward Klain, said the city is trying to regulate private acts in a private dwelling using the public irritation law as a “pretext” to do so….
The Cherry Pitt has remained open while all the legal wrangling has taken place… Only now the City of Duncanville broadened the regulation meant to close the club down by making the explanation of a swinger club more general and add a local petition process for adult clubs that the town orders to close.
***October 29, 2008 A jury found the organizers of the Cherry Pit guilty of illegally operating a sexually oriented industry.
So what you do think? Should private citizens be permitted to “swap pits” at the Pitt without the state getting its’ rocks off?
You evidently can not do drugs in the isolation of your dwelling. These things are illegal regardless of where they are engaged in.
Let us also keep this in mind. Duncanville is NOT attempting to order the Texas swinger adult dating showing up at the venue. They are trying to regulate the founders of the house in allowing the “Piters” to engage in sex for a fee at their home…. The government is NOT regulating where and with whom you can have sex with. They are telling the owners of the Pit that if they are charging you to do it, they are subject to government administration. There is a vast dissimilarity…
Nobody is going to advice you that you cant go down to your local red light block and get a blowjob from Mollie the local crack addict or Johnny the cross dressing pimp or even take any of mujeres maduras to the Cherry Pit for some entertainment. We of course are aware of however that the act of handing over a dollar in exchange for the BJ makes the otherwise agreeable act illegal prostitution on one end and the illegal operation of soliciting a prostitute on the other end no matter where it occurs (in addition to whatever other wicked stuff goes with “the other end”). The state has decided that there is a undeniable state awareness to control and/or criminalize such acts…
***October 29, 2008 A jury found the owner of the Cherry Pit guilty on 10 counts of running a sexually oriented commerce. The Cherry Pit has since been locked. While advice for the owners declared that the decree would be appealed and the statute challenged, it is uncertain if either of those was ever pursued.
