Summary of Ladies of the Night: A Historical and Personal Perspective on the Oldest Profession in the World
Gene Simmons -- mega-rock star, businessman, marketing genius and self-proclaimed free spirit -- follows up his best-selling books Kiss and Make-Up and Sex, Money, Kiss with Ladies of the Night, an examination of the history of prostitution.Simmons makes the case that men have been stepping out on women since the beginning of time, and that the practice is not about to stop. For that reason alone, Simmons argues that prostitution should be legalized. He argues that prostitution is a victimless crime that could be made safe and become a large source of tax revenues. Simmons, who has never used a lady of the night, believes no one should have to pay for sex, whether it is through prostitutes or marriage.
Regardless of where you stand on the issue, Simmons' book is an arresting, informative, humorous, and outrageous exploration of the world's oldest profession, drawing on human nature, history, science, and public policy.
