Prostitution: The offering of the body to indiscriminate lewdness for hire (esp. as a practice or institution); whoredom, harlotry.
The Inky Fool is dedicated to combating discrimination in all its forms, and is therefore wildly in favour of indiscriminate lewdness, especially as neither word seems particularly necessary to the definition.

ReplyDeleteWhat Humans Do
(with or without
the prostitute):
The candle-lit
after dinner
careful screw,
the under-the-moon
shooby doo
be doo groove,
the from behind,
the sixty-nine,
the is there time,
the I need wine,
the twisted talking
dirty grind,
the Erica Jong
zipless screw,
the I got somethin'
to prove ruse,
the big bang,
the power game,
the long play,
the itchy-ish, sudden-ish
roll in the hay,
the take me away,
the once a week
married way,
the hail mary
holy-joe-
I-can't- believe-
my-luck hump,
the side to side
slow pump,
the grudge fuck,
the quick poke,
the hard core,
the tenderest lap
of waves on the shore,
and the gushing rushing
endless coming
of I've never felt
this way before.
"Indiscriminate" actually detracts from the meaning: recall that Julia Roberts wouldn't kiss her johns in the venerable hooker film Pretty Woman.
ReplyDeleteYour etymological articles are hilarious, by the way, and I've just added a link from my similarly academic yet often unserious arts and culture blog, thomasapolis.com.
They're not meant to be hilarious. I consider this a sombre and solemn forum for melancholic discussion of the FACTS. Pretty Woman was a harsh but unfaltering depiction of the realities of modern prostitution, and I have returned the compliment.
