What an untimely death; How did you say your son died again?

Posted to Etcetera on Sat Oct 13, 2007 at 10:24:35 AM EST (promoted by port1080). RSS.

British tourist Adrian Exley traveled half way around the world to Lynn, Massachusetts to meet up with a guy he met on the internet for sex. And then things got weird...

Mr. Exley was found several days later after his host, Mr. Gary LaBlanc, and a friend, Scott Vincent, dumped him off in Rhode Island shallow grave. Mr. LaBlanc later committed suicide after leaving a detailed 5 page note describing what happened. Apparently Mr. Exley was left alone bound in a closet for an extended period of time and suffocated.

After the reports of the death came out, a few people came forward and told police that LeBlanc had restrained them and left them alone for long periods, or ignored their requests that he curtail a bondage session.

The family of Mr. Exley is now suing the estate of his killer in court. His mother stated that "We decided that we didn't want Gary's last wishes being granted when Adrian's couldn't be. Why should Gary be able to kill my son, bury my son, shoot himself and still get his own way?"

This is the second death from consensual but odd sex practices to hit the news in the past several days. Apparently an entire cadre of sex subculture experts and enthusiasts are watching the case because it could set a precedent and serve as a lesson on who is responsible for anything that happens in consensual and dangerous sexual practices.

Yet another setback for proponents of consensual sex.

by this entire story as I wrote it.

I mean, whatever blows your hair back, but what the hell? Who flies intercontinental to have some guy shrink wrap you and dump you in a closet? Isn't there a local person who could provide this service? The airline fuel surcharges alone would be insane! I mean, what in the Hell did Mr. Exley tell the customs inspector upon arrival when they asked his purpose of travel? Jesus.

Anyway, on the fark forums there was some guy who claimed to be a pathologist or somebody who works in the morgue. He implied that this whole thing is a whole lot more common than most people think and a lot of these cases get marked off as an "accident/unknown" or some such to save the family embarrassment.

Creepy.

Spread it on!

I swear to god I already responded to this. Another reason for my unfinished comment saver idea. In my limited experience, people often look for sexual experiences with people in far away places for intimacy reasons. They want to be able to go and do it when they want but they can't really stand being all that close to other people for the most part. Plus, if he was inexperienced in it, having to take the time to travel and go do it adds to the experience and the ritual of it. It's less of a Big Deal if you go down the street. It could certainly add to the eroticness of situation to have the build up of traveling specifically to do such a thing.

It is easy to buy small plaster models of what you think life is like.

I like how both you and the news media refer to Exley as a "tourist." I suppose that is legally true, but only because the State Department doesn't issue entry visas for bondage sessions.

And this matters, why?  Perhaps we should have "sex tourist" as an official designation?

We do. But only if they go to other countries to screw kids.

Because I think it's funny.

Lou, I'm all for that if it'll get you out of the house more often.

Bellicose Biden
'We're at war,' declared Vice President-elect Joe Biden on the state of the economy, in an effort to rally bipartisan support for Obama's outrageously expensive deficit spending plan. Bet he's glad fellow Democrats spent the past seven years proclaiming that dissent was patriotic.

Worst. President (-elect). Ever.
The latest GBO report states that the 2009 federal deficit is estimated to reach $1.2 Trillion (about 8.5% GDP, and almost tripling 2008's $455B deficit), but Obama wants to press ahead with another $750 Billion on a stimulus plan. That's about as much harm to the economy in one year as Bush accomplished in his last four. Hope and change!
