Straight Up

Actually its quite hard to obtain a firearm here in the Netherlands.

So here I am in Amsterdam. I havent been to that many places in the world but Amsterdam is by far my favorite. I dont even smoke dope unless Im driving. The people the food and the sheer beauty of the city are amazing.

The only problem is that right now the garbage men are on strike. It makes it a bit difficult to enjoy a nice Van Gogh when you have to step over a pile of trash. All the clowns are dumpster diving in the Red light District. Cheap Baloon Animals I guess. Psych!

The last few days I was at the Lowlands festival which is not unlike any other European festival or Lollapalooza. We started the festival off with an egg Sandwich which apparently is some sort of good luck thing. And ended by throwing some gas station croquettes out the car window. It must have worked because I got to meet former Prime Minister of Holland Ruud Lubber and then later spent part of the day hanging out with Juliette Lewis backstage. She was very nice actually but I was a bit too shy to talk to her. Even I get shy sometimes so if youre reading this Ms. Lewis give me a call. I was the dude that you gave half your candy bar to.

So the fact of the matter is that Im two blocks away from a bunch of crazy sex acts going on at this very moment. All legal by the way. The Red light district is a very depressing place in the daytime. Some people think its always depressing but at night the women seem like theyre having a good time and I know the men that go there are. its just a blast to go there with people you know and walk around. Its such a bizzare idea for us Americans. Anyway it reminds me of an e mail I got from my best friend informing me of a topic I should address so here goes it.

Over the years some of my friends including myself have either dated or just hooked up with women who have worked in the sex industry. These include strippers, burlesque dancers, girls who have been in porn magazines, women who pose naked on the internet etc etc..

Basically I think that men have a strong attraction to these types of women because a lot of times they think similar to us when it comes to sex. The problem with dating these women is that theyve all been fucking nuts. Im not saying I would never date another stripper again(like I said the attraction is very strong) but I would be very cautious as to get into a serious relationship.

I have a best friend whose ex-girfriend is now on Suicidegirls.com. This bird was so fucking nuts and so violent that he ended up having to get a restraining order against her. This was after she fucked some other dude at a party at their house while they were living together.

Another time me and my friends were all hanging out at strip club. The night is winding down and so one of the dancers invites my buddy to go home with him. She was smokin hot so of course he went. I end up back at the hotel with my girlfriend of the time only to be woken up at 7 am by my friend calling me on my cell phone. He was asleep in the stripper chicks bed when her boyfriend jumps through her window and starts beating the shit out of him. He was fully clothed in the bed with her but of course her boyfriend doesnt give a shit. Anyway the dude leaves and comes back 15 minutes later on his bike to beat up my friend some more. Eventually I found him and he was all bruised up. Ive heard since then that this girl has done the same thing to a few other guys. By the way she was also on Suicidegirls.com.

The only time Ive ever been in anything that remotely resembled an abusive relationship was when I dated a dancer from Canada. It was great at first, we would get drunk and fuck all the time and she would even bring her friends over as well. Of course she ended up getting so fucking jealous that she would cry and scream and throw shit, whenever we would get in even the smallest arguments. The last time I saw her which was years after we broke up she started screaming at me in a bar and ran of with some gross dude. I think she was trying to make me jealous but all i could do was feel sorry for that guy.

My point in all this is not to paint women who work in the adult industry in a bad light, these are just a few experiences. However Ive yet to ever hear a guy say Hey I getting married to that coked up stripper we met in Portland. Kick ass. I know that women have had good experiences with sex jobs. Ive just only read about or seen these people on TV.My problem is that some of these web sites and magazines these days preach it as female empowerment. I think its really just a bunch of fucked up chicks that like to get naked.

You guys feel the same way right.
