Just when you thought it was safe to go out in Edinburgh, sex addicts decide it's time to party.

Bed-hopping sex cheats iare set to turn Edin-iburgh into Scotland's capital of sin.

And last night a titillating talk-in for wife-swappers and one-night- stand sex addicts was the centre of a sleaze storm.

Hundreds are due in Edinburgh for a "non-monogamy" convention for people of "all sexes and sexualities."

They'll be holding teach-ins on promiscuity in the hope that they can gain converts to their "liberated" lifestyles.

Organisers are advertising in magazines and on the internet, and charging pounds 22 for tickets.

But last night fury erupted over the sinners' convention at Edinburgh University's Pleasance Societies Centre.

A spokeswoman for health group AIDS Care Education and Training stormed: "We are con- cerned at the swapping of partners."

And Edinburgh councillor Moira Knox said: "This is scandalous. It shouldn't be allowed."

The convention - due to take place on April 5 and 6 - was booked by Alison Rowan and Paul Crowley, both believed to be students.

Yesterday, the door of their Edinburgh flat in Lady Lawson Street had a sign saying: `Gomorrah. No Christians. No Tories.'

Rowan answered the door naked except for a towel but refused to discuss the convention. She just said: "It is different from the usual."

Last night there was confusion over the convention. Edinburgh University said it would be stopped. But adverts were still appearing and a spokeswoman at the Societies Centre confirmed the event was on.
