Do you wanna 'gamble'?

Cape Town - It was high time for the jackpot of love - courtesy of an amorous couple at the Grand West casino in Goodwood on Wednesday night.
Blissfully unaware of the casino's roving camera eye that was recording their sexcapades on video, the two love birds pulled out all the stops.
A friend approached security guards to help him look for the couple, only to find himself witnessing their steamy performance on the video monitor in the control room.
The guilty couple can forget about setting foot in the gambling halls of the luxurious Grand West casino again or about adding the raunchy videotape to their private collection.
Apparently a lot more fun is poked (sic) at in public venues than meets the eye. Cuddling and smooching under the blanket while dad is asleep on the Lazyboy is apparently just the first step to bigger things, sex experts on the internet advise.
Excitement
The excitement of sex on the hotel stairway rather than in the boring bed seems to be the deciding factor. Apparently the parts of the brain that control fear, anxiety and sexual stimulation are situated close to each other.
To top it all, a recent study shows that parts of the brain, associated with pleasure, react better to unexpected pampering sessions.
The website www.SexinPublic.org claims that one of the favourite places for couples to have sex in public is in a car.
A small town in Rome has even established a special parking area for lovebirds, complete with soft lighting and dustbins for condoms.
Many Italians live with their parents till well in their thirties and therefore the backseat of the car often heats up under the flames of passion.
Car ma sutra
The Italians apparently jokingly refer to the various positions in the confined space as the Car ma sutra.
In South Africa, metropolitan councils see parking areas in a different light and jump-starting the car from the backseat might just land the perpetrator with a hefty fine.
And then there is the Mile-High Club for those who prefer to have sex on cloud nine - in an aeroplane. And the founding member of the club, is none other than the inventor of the automatic pilot, Lawrence Sperry.
Most airlines frown on passengers' sexcapades, but not Richard Branson's Virgin Atlantic. After a couple were caught in the act, Branson organised private cabins, complete with double beds and washing facilities for optimal passenger enjoyment.
Virgin Shaglantic maybe?
