Today’s Question by Aart Hilal

by Paulo Coelho on June 6, 2008

Which puzzle were you not able to solve while writing 11 minutes?

Why for a prostitute a kiss is more intimate as sex and is more sacred than everything else. Just try kissing a prostitute. She will say to you: “Stop! You can fuck me but do not try again to kiss me! “

Once a writer said in a book that if the male hero kiss the woman,ugly and lazy ,he is in danger of falling in love with her.I think ,is valid both to man and woman,a kiss may have a power superiour to a sexual approach.What to say that for many women,kisses are at least 50% the part of a sex party.I mean ,brings them great peasure,and with that lose of control.A prostitute does not search how to lose control.She want to earn money.Is that what I think.

A kiss has nothing to do with sex for them. and Rebecca you’ve perfectly said “it is the face”.

Prostitutes are same human beings and they are just in need, they have to do what they do for money. But I believe they feel bad about it,so the only thing what can prevent them from madness and thoughts is not to kiss someone you see first time in your life.

As I also believe that they are aware about how it feels when you kiss your loved and dear ones.

Kind regards,

Yeah… A kiss is extremely intimate. There is a speacial feeling that comes over a person when they kiss another person. A feelin that moves your soul and leaves u longing for another.

The further a part of you is from the brain the easier it is to disassociate from it. I find it much easier to dissaciate from sex than from a kiss because it is so ‘in my face’. The bulk of the main sensory organs are there – smell, sight, taste, hearing.

kissing means something to them, not like sex. it’s something that they can keep for someone they actually love.

Porque un beso significa cariño y ellas no quieren mezclar trabajo con amor.
Un beso Paulo.

You can take my body. But not. My soul.

Hi Paulo,

My guess is that it is a way of keeping one part of her (or his if it is a male prostitute) to herself. To let her body be used and penetrated but to keep her mouth to her self or maybe to sharing with someone she loves and really wants to connect with..

Someone prostituting themselves might protect themselves from the experience by dissociating as much as possible from most of their body. Our face is an area though, that most people identify closely with and stay in closest contact with, so to to keep ones mouth for one self is to protect one´s own intimacy.

In our spiritual anatomy, we have several energy streams. One flow of energy has ends in our sexual organs and ends in ours mouths. Kissing someone whom we are also engaging our sexual organs with, allows a powerful energy circle between the two involved to come literally full circle.

My guess is that most people prostituting themselves would choose to do otherwise if they felt they had a choice. To choose to not kiss is, I guess, a choice of self-protection and an attempt of self-preservation.

A kiss can be a deeply impactful energetic exchange.

In my life, some kisses have been the most deeply impactfull intimate exchanges !´ve had.

a kiss is active. and another person can potentially suck your soul from you. it’s so intimate. it’s like how dogs don’t like it when you touch their faces or put your hands near their face suddenly.

in fact, even between mother and daughter, if there’s sth in that space, a kiss cannot happen.

whatever we consume, we put into our mouths. literally it becomes a part of us… i don’t understand how anyone can not understand the intimacy of a kiss. that’s weird to me.
