Belle de Jour's 100 Days of Celibacy
» Amorous Pop Culture
Belle De Jour, possibly the most famous author of a sexually themed weblog and certainly one of the web's most charming prose stylists, undergoes one hundred days of abstinence.
(I didn't realize that Belle De Jour : Intimate Adventures of a London Call Girl had been published.)
I finally put it all behind me. I found a new line of work and began a proper relationship. And then, this spring, I decided to go travelling. I had written about my adventures as a prostitute on my website, the book of my collected diary entries was about to be published, newspaper columnists were openly speculating about my identity, and I wanted to escape. My boyfriend knew about my former career and was broadly supportive of my writing, but his career meant he couldn't come with me. So, for the first time in my adult life, stretching before me like a punishment, was a period of enforced celibacy. How would we deal with being apart? It would be 100 days until we saw each other again...
Best of luck to her in all things.
