Interesting History Lesson

Did you know Gene Simmons was a teacher before he was the front man for the rock group KISS? Well he was. And Proffessor Simmons gives an interesting history lesson of the ladies of the night. Gene calmly narrates this scholarly work..and keeps the listener rivited. He does not down the subject of his discourse, he praises them. He shows their legacy from early cavemen days to modern day. He shows he is great teacher teaching a lesson of history unknown to many. He even covers the relationship of Jesus and Mary..without sounding preachy If you are expecting something KISS like you will be disappointed. This audio is a great lecture about the oldest proffessor that should be taught in high school or college..Great work and great use of the subject matter So Professor Simmons, with an audio that is this good..when is your next intriging history lesson. With you teaching this, I am an apt pupil and all ears! Bennet Pomerantz AUDIOWORLD

Great Read

Gene has had a tendency in the past to be somewhat obnoxious in interviews and in his writing. However, this time out he has written a well thought out book that is very fun to read. It provides a high level overview of the "oldest profession in the world". It is interesting and thought-provoking. I think you would be hard pressed to disagree with Gene on this one!

Don't Kiss This Off!

A fun, amusing read with solid scholarly underpinnings that should further galvanize the growing movement to legalize prostitution. Anyone who stands against the exploitation of women must know that removing the fear of criminal prosecution will empower women who wish to earn a living by renting their bodies for sexual recreation, wipe out human-trafficking rings and vicious pimps who clog our criminal justice system -- and add billions of dollars to our national coffers. What this country needs in every neighborhood is an old-fashioned, well-run whorehouse -- the kind with a guy playing piano in the parlor -- and Gene Simmons has made his case with this fascinating potpourri of social history and SEX!

Fun Read!!

I thought is was a really fun book, Simmons understands the art of entertainment! I admire the hard work that clearly went into writing the book, a work ethic to back up his well thought out insights. Bottom line, he wrote a great book!!
