Product Description 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.
Interesting History Lesson October 11, 2008 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
Did you know Gene Simmons was a teacher before he was the front man for the rock group KISS? Well he was. And Proffessor Simmons gives an interesting history lesson of the ladies of the night.
Gene calmly narrates this scholarly work..and keeps the listener rivited. He does not down the subject of his discourse, he praises them. He shows their legacy from early cavemen days to modern day. He shows he is great teacher teaching a lesson of history unknown to many. He even covers the relationship of Jesus and Mary..without sounding preachy
If you are expecting something KISS like you will be disappointed. This audio is a great lecture about the oldest proffessor that should be taught in high school or college..Great work and great use of the subject matter
So Professor Simmons, with an audio that is this good..when is your next intriging history lesson. With you teaching this, I am an apt pupil and all ears!

A School Yearbook August 29, 2008 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
I am surprised by others' reviews, given that I found Ladies of the Night more cover and less content and not unlike the approach that every school yearbook takes. Do grown-ups know so little about the subject? I had really hoped for more, given the hype.
GENE SIMMONS...MASTER OF EVERYTHING!!!! August 26, 2008 Gene Simmons proves yet again that he can tackle any subject and make it very entertaining. Even for people who are not fans of the greatest band in the world, this book is very informative and fun to read. This book will definately hold your interest until his next book (his adaptation of The Art of War)arrives. Thank you Gene!
Excellent Coffee Table Book..! August 11, 2008 This is a great book to have on your coffee table & spurs conversation, just like I thought it would when I bought it..! Gene is eloquent and has a great sense of humor, making the book enjoyable to read & the sections and chapters are divided, so you can just read a couple pages at a time as can friends who stop by and pick it up..!
It is also a very classy looking book with a nice cover, hardbound with soft colors that match any shade of wood table..!
Well worth the $25 I paid for it & highly recommend it..!
