Not a bad way to go, really

This entry was published at least two years ago (originally posted on December 5, 2002). Since that time the information may have become outdated or my beliefs may have changed (in general, assume a more open and liberal current viewpoint). A fuller disclaimer is available.

Well, if you decided to choose how you were going to die — would you pick something different?

Rolf Eden, a Berlin property tycoon, former nightclub owner, and all-purpose celebrity, says he is offering $125,000 to any woman, from anywhere in the world, who can kill him with sex.

“My real desire is to die on a lady, while making love,” Eden said. “A lawyer has my will, and in my will I have $125,000 for this lady.”

Eden is known by many as the “Hugh Hefner” of Germany. He doesn’t publish a magazine, but he is a wealthy playboy.

Eden says that even at age 72 he is fit as a fiddle, and ready for love. He claims he will pay for an unspecified number of women to fly to Berlin from various parts of the world, for a couple of days of sexual activity, providing they fit his criteria.

Basically that seems to mean they must be young, attractive, healthy, and with a practical outlook on life. “If a lady will come here, she really has to work hard,” he said.

As for the obvious objections which women’s right groups would have, Eden is unrepentant. “If they’re outraged, the leader, if she’s young and beautiful, she should come here and I’ll change her mind very fast.”

Time for me to start saving. I’ll post when I have my own $125,000 ready to spend. ;)

Thanks to Karl for this one!
