This would be a great story if the author wasn’t acting like a cartoon wolf with his tongue rolling out. What a sexist piece of trash.

Yeah, the entire thing seems like an excuse for the titillating images. That French postcard is straight up 19th Century porn.

Yeah, I would love to read a story about this that wasn’t framed this way! “That guy got a great deal, today it will probably cost you $300/hr to get beaten by a topless woman that isn't your wife hurr hurr”
