Underbelly is an excellent series, and in the second series in particular, the sexual attractions were a major part of a real-life story. Terrence Clark met and had a passionate affair with a kindergarten teacher, who subsequently played a major part in smuggling his drugs into Australia. He later had an affair with a beautiful (in real life and on the TV series) lawyer, who ended up being disbarred.
The third series of Underbelly, which I haven't watched, is set in Kings Cross Sydney in the days before prostitution became legal, and seems to be about the control of the sex and drug trades there. So I expect the sex and nudity will feature strongly, against the backdrop of prostitutes and strip clubs and the like. In Australia, stripping ends up totally nude, which is quite something when you're there (especially as the strippers are uniformly gorgeous, but I digress). I intend to buy the DVD for Underbelly series 3.
There is a lesson in series 3, in that once the sex industry was de-criminalised in New South Wales, all the organised crime left it. I would like to see the same thing happen to currently illegal drugs, or at least some of them.
When I worked in the city centre of Melbourne many years ago, we sometimes went to a strip club for a few drinks after work. I then used to go home and ravish my wife... Ravish her, maybe while fantasising.
