What an idea!  This is a real morning eye-opener!  Sex and coffee.  Not only that, it's a way to get Baristas some decent pay.  It gives cafes a bigger margin as well-- people aren't going to put away as much coffee as they do liquor, which underscores that bars will mostly do much better.

I do have concerns about giving guys stimulants and turning them on with sex, but it seems that it hasn't caused any problems.  It's more than likely much better than serving them alcohol.

I wonder when the first nude coffee bar will come into existence?  Another concern I have is for the danger of spilling the coffee and burning the ladies.  Or even doing it deliberately.  Tempers can get high in sexually charged environments.  

Strange that readers complained when the newspaper reported this.  It's definitely newsworthy and it shows a social shift.  

There was a Robert Heinlein story that had this very same thing, BTW.  I don't remember what it was called.  It goes to show that we're now living in a science fiction world.

This "brilliant idea" is likely to follow the same arc as Hooters and those all-girl car washes.  Which is to say it will get corporatized, homogenized and mainstreamed to the point where it will be as titillating as a trip to your local supermarket vegetable aisle.  Plus ca change . . .

That's  something that called my attetnion when I first came to USA years ago... Coffe shops with  sexy baristas were not so popular as they are in Chile.   I thought it was  cultural thing.
In chile there are what they call "Cafe con Piernas" (Coffe with legs). The name comes from the  baristas wearing  really short mini skirts, even during the winter... Girls make a lot of money on tips...
The place looks like a bar, but instead of liquor, they serve coffe. You can see gilr's legs under the bar. Usually the coffe machines is on the  other  side of the  bar, that way  costumer have the chance to see the  girl's butt :) Nowadays, the  trend during the summer is that girls even wear tiny bikinis...
Those are all  over Santiago-Downtown  and are very common  places for gents to meet for coffe or who know's ... talk about  business???  ;)
So, if you ever  go to Chile for business, you know where  you can close your deal ;)

You better  read it for yourself...
Enjoy,

We want sex, but we think that asking for it is somehow - well just wrong... lol!  boobs, tightly bound... but can't show a nipple, strip bars where bandaids cover the nips... Video games & movies that teach violence, but we won't allow education on birth control! lol!  yea, we are prudes... with hidden desires...
