Seduction in Slovakia -
Easy Game ?
The brothels
actually contribute to a healthy atmosphere of seduction, because they
remove from the market what we might call the "dark
side of seduction". This kind of "seduction" is right at home in
the countries, such as Italy, where hypocrisy is woven into the fabric
of the culture.
Such a culture in Slovakia would be unthinkable. I asked about 20 girls between
the ages of 18 and 25 (girls with whom I was either on intimate terms or with
whom I was having a normal conversation): "Could you love a person with some
ulterior motive in mind?"
Given the delicacy of the matter, I didn't ask the question point blank, as do
public-opinion pollsters, who collect a bunch of nonsense for the reading public
that buys periodicals.
In more than half of the cases, I found the girls had notable difficulty in even
grasping the idea, but in every case the final (and sincere) answer was no!
Olga Valentova, a beautiful talk-show hostess who works
for Marchiza, the most important Slovak TV network, disagrees with my
evaluation. She was shocked when she found out recently that some of her
colleagues were trying to seduce men who could offer them good careers or money.
I told Olga that in my country, Italy, it wouldn't surprise anyone in any
working environment and that, as far as Italian television is concerned, it's
only for the love of hypocrisy that sexual favors are not included as one of the
contractual conditions of employment.
However, according to the beautiful "A.S.," a secret and reticent source and an
intimate friend of the director of Markiza, Pavol
Rusko, Slovakia is doing its best to imitate Italy when it comes to this sort of
"forced seduction."
Slovakian politicians sponsor TV channels and modeling agencies. In exchange,
they receive the "companionship" of TV stars and starlets.
According to the same source, it seems Slovakia is destined to have its own
version of Silvio Berlusconi, the ex-prime minister of Italy who also owns a
media empire, because Rusko "would like to become the head of the state and has
become very nervous and unruly."
Mr. President, we sincerely hope with all our heart that you realize your
political dream but please, we would be very disappointed to see Italy lose the
world record in the field of courtesan-ship and related practices.
