There is a moral presented with this story: don’t have sex on a public beach. Don’t have sex on a public beach that is in Dubai, UAE.

There is a valuable lesson to be learned in this story. Wait; actually there are plenty of lessons to be learned from this news event. Readers are probably wondering what I am talking about in the first place. To start things off, this incident has taken place in the Middle East.
This has taken place in Dubai, the capital of the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The culprit is 30 year old Michelle Palmer, a publishing firm manager. Palmer was in Dubai on business from Britain.
For the crime she had committed, Palmer faces up to six years in prison. But, Palmer’s crime does not have anything to do with business or politics. Palmer is allegedly to have had sex on the beach. She is scared that the authorities want to make an example out of her. The government of the UAE deems such acts in public as unacceptable.
That also includes PDA or public displays of affection. You kiss someone in public, you could get arrested. You get caught in an act of infidelity, you will get arrested. Cheating on your spouse, you will get arrested. If you’re kissing someone of the same gesture, you will get arrested.
So far, the man that Palmer was allegedly getting “busy” with is also facing a similar sentence.
Palmer could face at least three months or up to six years in prison.
The moral of this story is: Don’t get caught having sex on the beach in Dubai.
If you can’t resist the temptation, make sure it’s at night time. As a plus, make sure you’re getting busy with a person with clout in the government.
In Palmer’s case, this is what happens when you do something like this in a Middle Eastern country, let alone a very conservative one.
