These are the (erotic) Journals of Michael Ordeal. He has spent his entire adult life in the Far East. As an older man with money, he patronizes the entertainment districts, the Red-Light Districts (RLD). In Korea it was the infamous Hooker Hill in Seoul. In Japan it was mostly China Town in Yokohama. In the Philippines it was Mabini, Ermita, in Manila. He has come to realize that all whores are good people. If they were bad, and didn't provide good service, they'd be out of business. Who wants to have sex with a surly whore? Why this sudden increased sexuality / promiscuity? Like a light, at the end of his life, burning himself out. He has suddenly realized that he is rich, with no one to leave his money to. He has merely opened up his wallet and given out freely of his money, to those most in need.
