He has to notify the police before he has sex

A man who had to give police 24 hours' notice before he has sex with a new partner has lost his legal battle to have the restriction lifted.
But John O'Neill has been told the terms will be changed following a hearing at York Magistrates' Court today.
District Judge Adrian Lower said the terms of the order will be amended at a future hearing.
He said the condition that he gives the police 24 hours' notice before he starts sexual contact with a new partner was "frankly unpoliceable".

The new terms of the order will be agreed at a hearing on September 22.
The 45-year-old was banned after telling a psychiatric nurse he needs women "to be scared or I don't respond" - the court previously heard.
O'Neill was trying to prevent the Sexual Risk Order (SRO) being made permanent by North Yorkshire Police at York Magistrates Court.
He was cleared of rape following a retrial at Teesside Crown Court last year but was given the order after a judge described him as a "very dangerous man".
Judge Simon Bourne-Arton QC said after the jury was dismissed: "Please could you inform the authorities that although this man has been acquitted, it is my judgment that he is a very dangerous individual."
He claims he has been unfairly targeted by police because of his sadomasochistic sexual preferences.

Oliver Thorne, representing North Yorkshire Police, referred to a consultation Mr O'Neill had with a community psychiatric nurse, Kevin Holmes, to whom he had been referred by his GP.

The nurse gave evidence at the rape trial but was unavailable to attend the hearing before Friday's District Judge Adrian Lower.
The nurse recorded notes from the meeting saying Mr O'Neill had feelings of rage, anger and violence.
Mr Thorne, referring to the notes, said: "He has been sexually violent to past girlfriends and he was not sure if they consented.
"He stopped asking girlfriends if they consented to sex with him."
The nurse also recorded Mr O'Neill saying: "I need them to be scared or I don't respond" and "I find it difficult to climax".
Mr Thorne, outlining the police's case, said SROs could be imposed even if there was no conviction.

Mr O'Neill, who has previously admitted to having an interest in sado-masochism and used to attend a Fifty Shades of Grey-style fetish club, had claimed the order breached his human rights and said he had no prospect of forming a relationship while he lived by its terms.
He currently sleeps rough in a wood as he claims the case has made him homeless due to not being able to find work.
The court heard Mr O'Neill has previously told his GP he likes to cut, bite and burn women to point of unconsciousness.
The court was told when a doctor queried his sexual preferences, he responded: "You've never read Fifty Shades of Grey then?"
The new terms of the order will be agreed at a hearing on September 22.
