I had sex with my aunt on her sofa after impromptu skinny dip session – should I come clean to my wife?
1 DEAR DEIDRE: MY aunt seduced me when I was 18 and apart from my best friend no one else knows. We spent a whole summer entangled in her bed. Even though I'd already lost my virginity to a girl from my school, being with her was my real sexual awakening. She is my dad's younger sister and I'd gone to live with her as I'd got a temporary job in her city. We were left to our own devices and we made the most of our freedom. She is seven years older than me and one of the sexiest women I've ever met. One day, it was so hot and sticky we went down to a local swimming spot. We stripped off and I noticed her checking me out. That afternoon when we got home, she pounced on me asking to see my chest again. Within minutes we were having sex on her sofa. I've kept those memories of skinny dipping in the river and having sex anywhere and everywhere all to myself but now I wonder if I should come clean to my wife to be. I don't want to have any secrets from her and somehow it seems like I'm lying by keeping this from her - especially as my aunt will be at the wedding and I know my wife-to-be and she will meet. I'm 29 now and my fiancée is 27. We have a great relationship and I've never had any doubts about her but I'm worried this could come between us. We have spoken about our pasts and I admitted I'd had a crazy summer with a woman a little bit older, but I lied and said I'd met her through my job. So she knows part of the truth. After my job finished and I moved back home, my aunt and I agreed that would be the end of our affair. We didn't even stay in touch, only catching up at family gatherings. She is still as stunning as ever. She now has two young daughters and a long term boyfriend and I'd never want to jeopardise that. This isn't easy. What should I do? DEIDRE SAYS: This was no idyllic love affair and while it doesn't seem to have occurred to you, having a sexual relationship with your aunt, someone you are related to counts as incest. I must let you know that incest is a criminal offence. You were 18 at the time of this relationship barely an adult and your aunt had a lot more life experience than you. I'm afraid to say she took advantage of your inexperience and her behaviour could even be considered grooming. You have a difficult decision to make. If you tell your wife, it could taint your wedding day and open a whole can of worms. On the other hand your wife might feel more upset were she to find out from someone else further down the road, although this seems very unlikely as you've only ever told your best friend and your aunt has too much to lose to share the truth. You have a lot to work through and it would really help you if you were to see a counsellor, someone who could help you decide what are your next best steps.

Belly dancer influencer arrested for ‘using seduction techniques' and ‘exposing sensitive areas' in viral online vids
A BELLY dancer influencer has been arrested for "using seduction techniques" and "exposing sensitive areas" in her viral online videos. Online sensation Linda Martino, originally from Italy, was arrested for "immortality" in strict Egypt two weeks ago - and is to remain in prison for another fortnight. 5 5 Linda - who has over two million followers on Instagram - moved to the North African country a few years ago and has built a successful career in belly dancing. Videos of her performing in popular clubs to various Egyptian hit songs have garnered millions of views across various social media platforms. But an investigation was reportedly triggered by one of her most shared videos, where Linda performs in a cabaret in a traditional belly dancing costume. The Cairo prosecutor's office accuses the young woman of having "used seduction techniques and provocative dances to incite vice". According to authorities' report, in some videos Linda "deliberately wore provocative clothing and performed dance movements with sexual allusions" They say she therefore disrespected "public decency" and the "values of family and society". Investigators also argued the artist "appeared in indecent clothing, deliberately exposing sensitive areas of her body, in clear violation of social values". She denies all the charges against her and claims she practices her profession in compliance with the law. The dancer said after being arrested: "I have the permits to practice my activity and all the videos circulating on social media are normal. "It is a permitted dance performance and does not contain anything that violates or goes against public morals." She added that the content she records is "only for entertainment purposes". Whilst belly dancing isn't prohibited in Egypt, videos on social media have to comply with the country's values. Egypt has increased its cruel crackdowns on artists and influences accused of offending public morals. Under Abdel Fattah Al Sisi's government, at least five belly dancers have been horrifically jailed on charges similar to those given to Linda. The Pharaoh nation sucks in a staggering 18 million tourists each year, and the industry props up around 10 per cent of the whole economy. But beyond the plush resorts of the popular Sharm el Sheikh and Hurghada - Egypt is covering up its dark underbelly. The country's brutal police force deals in bribes and locks people up on bogus charges, including Brit holidaymakers. Egypt's picture-postcard image is being tested, with a former British ambassador to the country recently branding it a "police state". 5

YouTuber seduction coach linked to Putin's oligarch pal probed after ‘urging fans to grope women and ask for sex'
A RUSSIAN YouTube seduction coach with links to one of Putin's close oligarchs is facing investigation - after he urged viewers to "grope women and ask for sex". Alexander Kirillov is being investigated on suspicion of inducement to rape after he instructed men to grab women in the street by the buttocks and demand sex. 8 8 Self-proclaimed "seduction guru" Kirillov, known online as Alex Lesley, gave the sickening advice to fans on his YouTube channel - which has nearly 100,000 subscribers. Following the depraved remarks, numerous complaints from women reached Russian authorities - claiming they had been harassed by his followers. Kirillov, who previously made headlines for being embroiled in a political scandal involving a female escort and a close Putin oligarch, currently lives outside Russia. The political controversy in question was linked to Belarusian escort Anastasia Vashukevich, 35, and Russian energy tycoon Oleg Deripaska. It came to light after Vashukevich claimed to have evidence that Deripaska and Russia's deputy prime minister were part of a Kremlin conspiracy to skew the 2016 US presidential election in favour of Donald Trump. Vashukevich revealed on Instagram that she had been on Deripaska's yacht in 2016 alongside the deputy prime minister Sergei Prikhodko when a secret meeting was held concerning the plot. But both Deripaska and Prikhodko denied wrongdoing. Following her claims Vashukevich, who known online as Nastya Rybka, was arrested. At the time of her detention she was in Thailand, where she had been running a bizarre four-day 'sex training' class alongside none other than Kirillov. As part of the "sex seminars" - which participants reportedly paid £1,000 to take part in - the pair claimed they could teach people how to make their partners climax. They spent nine months in custody - before a Thai court handed them a suspended 18-month sentence for soliciting and running an illegal "sex training course". Vashukevich and Kirillov were then deported to Moscow in January 2019 and arrested - but later released. Upon their arrival back in Russia, shocking footage showed Vashukevich, appearing to have been sedated, struggling as four men pushed her into a wheelchair and then carried her off. The current controversy came to light last week when at least 10 young women went public saying they had being groped by Kirillov's fans in Moscow. Some claimed that the encounters were filmed by accomplices as the men groped them and asked for sex. Two Russian MPs then complained to higher authorities before the Investigative Committee opened a case against Kirillov. 8 8 8 They said he had 'induced his followers to commit illegal acts of a sexual character towards female residents of the capital'. Two men have already been slapped with 15‑day jail terms for hooliganism following the reports, and a third suspect was remanded in custody in connection with the case against Kirillov. Twisted Kirillov, a Belarusian, told Moskva‑24 from an undisclosed location that he was not fazed by the allegations. He said: "If we lived in America or Germany, God forbid, then it could result in serious consequences. "Thankfully, we are in Russia." Billionaire Deripaska, was once estimated to be Russia's wealthiest man by Forbes, became notorious in the US for his alleged ties to political consultant Paul Manafort. Manafort was convicted of tax fraud, bank fraud and failure to report foreign bank accounts. These convictions stemmed from an investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections. Deripaska was also previously reported to be tyrant Putin's "favourite" industrialist. And the low-profile oligarch also once hosted Lord Peter Mandelson, now the British Ambassador to the US, on his private yacht in Corfu. But Deripaska was hit by UK sanctions following a response to Putin's invasion of Ukraine in 2022. 8 8

Sex coach linked to Deripaska scandal accused in harassment cases
A self-styled 'seduction guru' once caught up in a political controversy involving a female escort and an oligarch close to President Putin has now become embroiled in a harassment scandal in Moscow. Russia's Investigative Committee opened a case against Alexander Kirillov, also known as Alex Lesley, on suspicion of inducement to rape after he urged men to grab women in the street by the buttocks and offer them sex. The advice, given openly on his YouTube channel, led to numerous complaints from women claiming to have been harassed by his followers in Moscow since last week. Kirillov, 43, who is currently outside Russia, came to public attention in 2018 when he was linked to Anastasia Vashukevich, 35, a Belarusian escort also known on social media as Nastya Rybka, who wrote a book called How to Seduce a Billionaire. She revealed in Instagram posts that she had been on a yacht belonging to the Russian metals and energy tycoon Oleg Deripaska in 2016 when he held a meeting with Sergei Prikhodko, Russia's deputy prime minister, a fact that the late opposition leader Alexei Navalny picked up on as a sign of corruption. Vashukevich later claimed to have evidence that the two men had been involved in a Kremlin attempt to skew the US presidential election in favour of Donald Trump. Deripaska and Prikhodko both denied wrongdoing. Vashukevich and her 'pick-up coach' Kirillov were arrested in Thailand for holding illegal 'sex training' seminars in the country. They were deported to Moscow and arrested but then released. The current scandal broke out last week when at least ten young women told Russian media that men, some of them filmed by accomplices, had groped them in public places in Moscow and suggested that they had sex. Two Russian MPs complained to the Investigative Committee, linking the incidents to Kirillov. The committee then opened its case, saying that he had 'induced his followers to commit illegal acts of a sexual character towards female residents of the capital'. Two men have already been handed 15-day jail sentences for hooliganism over the incidents and a third was remanded in custody in connection with the case against Kirillov. Kirillov, a Belarusian, told Moskva-24 from an unnamed location that he was unfazed by the allegations. 'If we lived in America or Germany, God forbid, then it could result in serious consequences,' he said. 'Happily, we are so far in Russia.'

Three Vermeers, one theme: The art of the love letter on view in New York
NEW YORK, June 23 — In a special exhibit featuring just three paintings, the Frick Collection in New York is inviting viewers to contemplate the age and the art of seduction by the written word. The show brings together a trio of paintings by 17th century Dutch master Johannes Vermeer: the Frick's own Mistress and Maid, The Love Letter on loan from the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, and Woman Writing a Letter with her Maid from the National Gallery of Ireland. They are three of six paintings by Vermeer (1632-1675) that focus on the reading and writing of letters. They also depict interactions between women of different classes. Each painting features a woman and a female servant who has likely become a confidante and an intermediary as her mistress conducts a romantic relationship, said exhibit curator Robert Fucci. A visitor looks at 'Lady Writing a Letter with her Maid' painting during the opening of the new exhibition 'Vermeers love Letters' at The Frick Collection in New York City June 18, 2025. — AFP pic 'While the contents of the letters in Vermeer's paintings are not made clear, they are most likely amorous,' he said. 'Courtship and love letters were an important part of the artist's social context and a prevalent artistic theme.' In Vermeer's era, women had increasing autonomy in choosing their life partners, Fucci noted. 'Servants played a crucial role. Employers entrusted them with delivery, especially when messages needed to be shared covertly,' he added.

In a special exhibit comprising just three paintings, the Frick Collection of New York is inviting viewers to contemplate the age and the art of seduction by the written word. — AFP pic A debt with the baker 'Vermeer's Love Letters,' on view until the end of August, is the first show on offer since the Frick reopened its doors in April following a top-to-bottom, US$330-million (RM1.4-billion) renovation. The 20th century mansion filled with paintings, sculptures, and decorative pieces dating from the Renaissance to the 19th century now has 10 new galleries on its second floor, in what used to be the Frick family's private quarters. Two of the Vermeer paintings — worth a fortune today — helped the artist's wife, Catharina Bolnes, settle a debt with a baker after she was widowed with 11 children. The show is the first of the Dutch master's works in New York since 2001. The intimate offering is in sharp contrast to the sprawling Vermeer retrospective at the Rijksmuseum in 2023. Featuring 28 of his 35 known paintings, that was the largest collection of Vermeer's work ever assembled in one place, and drew thousands of art lovers. 'Vermeer certainly continues to compel people and to inspire people today,' said Aimee Ng, another curator at the Frick. — AFP
