Over at Open, the British writer Sebastian Horsley, who claims to have slept with 1,300 prostitutes, writes an article explaining his reasoning.
Horsley dabbles on a plethora of topics pertaining to his love of prostitution and he implores us all to keep it illegal. For him, the illegality of it is a major part of its allure. According to Horsley:
There is a charm about the forbidden that makes it desirable. When I have dinner every evening in Soho I always think: isn’t scampi delicious—what a pity it isn’t illegal. I’m sure I am not alone in this. Even Adam himself did not want the apple for the apple’s sake; he wanted it only because it was forbidden.
The other topics Horsley writes about, all in conjunction with his love of prostitution, are the wonderful nature of the deception-less relationship with prostitutes, for Horsley argues that all standard relationships are mired with the deception of—from what I can decipher—a contentment with rituality.
