Whenever I need advice on something, I like to go to an expert in the field. Protein shakes: Charlie Gasparino, ritual sacrifice: Lloyd Blankfein, foreign objects in ass: Ping Jiang, you get the idea. To that end, the last time I needed some real talk on love, I opened up my Rolodex and flipped through to ‘H’ for Hooker Fucker, Noted. I called up Eliot Spitzer and he gave it to me straight. I knew what his answer was going to be but I just need to hear him say it: “Love is steamrolling your opponents when they least expect it, which is to say, love is anal sex without a condom.” So I sort of surprised that, when the question was posed at him again by The Big Think, his answer was an insanely awkward and rambling “It’s one of these feelings that you sense when you meet somebody and there is a response that is different and is unique and is palpable. And it then changes over time…it becomes almost a dependence. And a sense of knowing somebody so well that you have merged as personalities, and know each other’s thoughts and there’s a comfort that is there, which is part of it, and equally important.” But, whatever! Maybe his first answer was what he told me, and then was pressed to elaborate.

    Bess are you giddy today? Your writing today makes me think you met a new man last night and you have a school girl crush on him, right?

    Bess, "Noted Hooker Fucker" is a Homeric-quality epithet. In fact, were the blind bard singing today, I have no doubt his modern-day Iliad would open:
    Sing, Muse, of the anger of Noted Hooker Fucker Spitzer/
    and its devastation, which put pains thousandfold upon the Wall Streeters/
    hurled in their multitudes to unemployment strong souls of heroes/
    but gave their bodies to be the delicate feasting of Hookers, of all Strippers…
    etc.
    (with apologies to Homer; trans. Lattimore)

    I thought the response that his wife gave the same question was more insightful.
    "True love is hard to find, sometimes you think you have true love and then you catch the early train home from the Hamptons and you see your husband snorting Columbian Bam Bam out of a blindfolded hooker's butthole. Then a couple more hookers in skimpy bikinis jump out of your bathroom ready to join in the fun like a goddamn magic show."

    Who cares! This site is getting pretty damn boring. Kind of funny how a young 20 year old ridicules everyone, but has never worked a day on wall street. Get some real experience Bess and then you can be taken seriously.

    @22-24 I am curious what experience you require of Bess. Are You saying she needs to fuck a whore to know that ES is dirty shit eating, hypocritical scumbag?
    Does she need to have traded MBS to know that several banks, TG and the O Admin are fucking it up for the country and more importantly NYC?
    Does she need to have insider traded with the sleaze balls at Galleon to know what they did there is as disgraceful as ponzi boy's cheating the entire world out of billions of bucks?
    Why don you go back to your Tme magazine, your GQ and your CNN and go fuck your father.

    I agree with Perkins Maxwell @8: "Noted Hooker Fucker" totally works as a Homeric epithet.

    True love is asking a professional escort for non-condom love and hoping you don't (or do?) hit snake eyes on the STD craps table.
    Of course, the missus is along for the ride, too.

  46. Posted by NakedShort | January 29, 2010 at 8:10 AM

    @44 statistically speaking you are more likely to get the hooker pregnant (hopefully you used the pull and pray) than to have contracted an STD. As far as the biggie (the hiv) you've got about a 1 in a million chance due to the fact its hard for girls to give it to guys and it is transmitted about only once in every 3,000 instances of non protected sex.
    -guy who isnt sure if you are joking or not but had to due a ton of research because his idiot best friend banged a hooker bare the weekend before his wedding and as best man had to do some digging because he was too freaked out to research the issue on his own.

    @48/NS
    What about strippers (Penthouse Club variety)?
    –guy who rawdogged one this week who should probably be a little more worried than he is

  54. Posted by NakedShort | January 29, 2010 at 10:28 AM

    @Anal. In order to get something from a chick she first must have something to give. Most commercial sex workers are LESS likely to have STDs than the general population (unless you noticed track marks all over her arms, or were in Africa or Thailand). That being said most STDs (except herpes obvi) can easily be treated, like I mentioned before the hiv is pretty fucking tough to get from a one time encounter.
    -guy who knows WAYYYYY to much about this stuff because his drunken friend, after 28 years of never doing anything with a hooker, thought it would be a good idea to see what it was like and then compounded the problem by going raw dog 6 days before his wedding and made his best man do field research so he could comfortably have sex on his honeymoon. Needless to say he always picks up my bar tab.

Sayeth Ash: “If you’re in love with someone, you want to treat them like the five year old. You want to cater to them and love them and hug them and like be emotionally there. Like you want to give them a blowjob! When you get married and, like, the wife doesn’t want to give a blow job anymore it’s like…[face].” [...]
