Is prostitution justified? That’s the gist of the questions IAI News asked Dalrymple in this short interview about the supposed oldest profession. I have a feeling the questioner did not like some of the answers, as TD refused to accept some of the premises behind the questions.

Was this part of a larger interview? I noticed you said short interview. Were I interviewed and this is all the interviewer would want to talk about, I would find it very odd.
In fact, I was at a party recently where an attractive woman came up to me and introduced herself in a friendly manner. When she learned I shod horses she went on all evening about how much she enjoyed riding stallions. It was quite odd and made me rather uncomfortable, even though I am a former Marine and have seen plenty of odd.
I see why Dalrymple is not too keen on interviews.
