Damn... now I'm really sorry I don't have HBO. I would definitely like to watch this new show about a middle-aged divorced father and basketball coach in Detroit who, after losing his house in a fire, decides to become a male prostitute.That's a secret fantasy of mine... but I'm wondering if it's still a possibility or if I'm twenty years too late.
A long time ago, when I was a very young man, I used to hook up with this dude named Ken who wanted to pimp me. I was horrified and appalled after he suggested it one day and refused to even consider the idea. I wasn't long out of my Bible-thumping days back then, and although I'd gotten to the point where I was willing to have sex with other men, there were certain lines I simply would not cross.
But now I look back and fantasize about Ken's proposition and it's kind of a turn-on. What if I had gone through with it? What would it have been like?
There were a number of other occasions over the years where I was offered money for sex, but I never took anyone up on it. Maybe I'm only fantasizing about it now because I fear my window of opportunity has already passed.
For the record, I don't think prostitution is necessarily such a bad thing -- as long as only freely consenting adults are involved and no one is coerced into anything -- and I think it should be legalized, everywhere. Maybe with a caveat of keeping it behind closed doors and off the streets, of course, as there is that public nuisance aspect. But otherwise, what's the problem?
