Swap husbands, have sex, take pix: just don't use MMS!

It is not illegal in Korea to swap husbands or wives. It isn't even illegal to get together in a club to do this, or to have sex. What you can't do, is take pictures of the activity on your cameraphone and use MMS to transmit the pictures.

According to a  Reuters report, around 150 "swingers" in South Korea have been asked to "assume the position" for police.

But the position they have to assume isn't the normal hands-in-air surrender. Instead, they have to match the pose they are suspected of using to attract fellow-swingers.

The pose is purely for identification. Posing for rude photos is legal. What isn't legal, is transmitting the image over the telecoms networks.

Of course, in some parts of the world, it would be said that the evil of rude pix would be that it might lead to wife swapping. In Korea, it's not the wife-swapping that's wrong. Not even the pictures. It's just polluting the airwaves with the data stream that's wicked!
