An author has posted an ad on Craigslist seeking a young woman to have sex with him and keep a diary about it for a month, after which he’ll write a book about the experience and self-publish it on Amazon. Literary experimentation for our times? Product of reading too much Henry Miller? Really complicated scam to get a young fuckbuddy for a month? Sugardaddy who’s low on sugar? What the FUCK is really going on here and who is the kind of person who gets on board with this?
The book will detail every aspect of a mutually-agreed to romantic affair between myself and a young FEMALE lover (perhaps you), experienced over 30 days, as in the novel. The difference between the first book and this one will be verite: everything in this new volume will be the truth as both participants see it. If you agree to participate in this project, you will keep a diary of all of your thoughts, impressions and memories of the thirty day affair that we will share. I will then combine your written thoughts with my own to present the reader with two versions of the same erotic story. One love affair, as seen separately by the man and woman.
In case it gets taken down, here’s the screenshot below. We encourage someone to write in and apply to get the free copy of his first book!

His middle name is Leslie. Chad Leslie. I can’t help but assume that this helped pave the dark path that led to this ad.
There is a free excerpt of the first book on Amazon. Holy Shit. I would call all of this a ploy (crazy situation meant to go viral and get people to notice the first book – HuffPo has already picked this story up), but actually there’s something pathetically sincere about the Craigslist ad.
Ha! Can’t the public just read hooker blogs?? Same thing, right? Just that the woman ends up with actual money.
