+MsJavaWolf He's a monster on the surface. The kind of guy who abuses not only women but people in general relentlessly. He abused the prostitute because he believes she didn't love him (odds are she didn't, he had to pay for her love after all). But behind that surface is a man who wants to dance in the field with a woman who loves him, caress her hair lovingly as she drifts off to sleep in his bed. More so than that, he was a man who wanted to feel appreciated and loved by just about anybody. Man or woman, friend or lover, it didn't matter. He's the type of man who turns himself into a monster because he wants to believe that he is rejected by society due to a monstrous personality as opposed to features that he simply can't control (looks, wealth etc). That gives him false hope. He tells himself that his life is a mess because he is a monster and he can change that anytime he wants to. He doesn't want to face the fact that the truth is more despairing than that...

Ok so hey listen I have to tell you what happened last night. I went to a bar with some cocaine looking for some strange and as I’m sitting at the bar drinking and plotting who I would approach and offer cocaine too a couple ladies approached me and said hi. One of them told me I had a “Tom Hardy vibe” going. So at that point I knew I had not only one but two potential ladies I could have sexual intercourse with. So I tell them I could get us a bottle and go to the Motel 6, where I have a room that I’ve been living in ever since my wife threw me out cause she found out I was sleeping with her sister, and I mention the cocaine I have in my pocket. And they say yes. I like to offer to get a bottle cause that saves me money from having to buy a lot of drinks. I also put a lot of baby laxative in the cocaine to make it last longer cause it’s really expensive and I don’t have a lot of money and I still need to be able to pay for the room at the Motel 6 or else I’ll be living in my car again. So I take the ladies to my room and I bring out a vodka bottle. And it’s like the cheapest vodka. But I take off the label so they don’t know. So they start drinking and doing lines and I go to the bathroom to use my German made penis enlarger pump. I read somewhere online that the pumps from Germany are the best. So I’m in the bathroom pumping but it’s not working. I couldn’t get it up. Meanwhile I have these two fairly attractive ladies waiting on me. I must be drinking too much and snorting too much cocaine and it caused me erectile dysfunction. So I’m in the bathroom feeling bad and I hear them snorting more and more coke and I wanted them to stop cause I need that coke. So I came out of the bathroom and told them I couldn’t get it up and I asked them to leave. I didn’t even bother lying to them. I was too depressed to care. After they left I was missing my wife so I called her but her new boyfriend picked up the phone and he told me that if I ever called her again he would beat me up.

Man you're not alone. People that judge a person by the age he/she lost his/her virginity are the most ignorant beings on earth. They don't consider that not every one is lucky enough to meet the right person in a young age. The fact that someone loses his virginity younger is most of the time a matter of luck and coincidence, that has nothing to do with personality or capabilities. Explain to me why so many geniouses such as Nicola Tesla died virgins. In this case, the interviewer is both ignorant and disrespectful, non taking into account that "Really?" can become an offensive response, just as much as telling it to someone who got his driving license at 20+

This is a good and honest man. In contemporary society he would be ridiculed and deemed a sexist. However, if you take the time to actually listen to him, his truthfulness shines through. Most men who lost their virginity at such an older age wouldn't readily admit it like Bukowski does. Also, he demonstrates sincere guilt for the things he did and said to the girl.

24 is hardly an “older” age. You make it seem like 24 is old, it’s certainly not too old to be a so called male virgin”. Should everyone have sex at 12-13? Smh

Many man did it conciously. I especially despise those who did it because a girl was easy. Then when you see them again with a decent girl - you pity the girl and hate the guy. There is no justice in this world. And loving justice makes you resentful and a bad person. You need to learn ignoring this kind of trash. Bukowski has this exceptional nobleness in truthfullness or at least the seemness of truthfullness. He doesnt give a shit about the world and herd laws, he expreses himself, he is more true when lying than most of people when telling truth (what is usually only a halftruth, their truth never hitting the surface).

He "speaked" he would have slapped you for saying that word.
Yeh, it's nothing like his literature were writing
Actually its quite a poetic summation of him. And I don't think Bukowski cared much for grammatically correct, so long as it stirred you, so long as the line stayed with you.
Strengthletics he sounds like Holden caulfield
I fucking love how he just doesn’t seem ashamed about any aspect of his life. Just flat out admitting he was a virgin until 24 and lost it to a “300 pound whore” like it’s nothing to be at all embarrassed by is really the sort of honesty and self-assurance I truly admire.
But it really isn't. That was like 30 years ago for him. A lifetime.
Someone telling the truth when all of our social norms are built out of lies always seems revolutionary lol, even tho this is not ideal
The honesty and self- assurance is what made him a writer and a very real person to listen to. Not many ppl can do it. Very very challenging
He was 63 at this point. What would it serve him to lie about his sexual exploits as a 24 year old young man at that point in time?
You believe all men admit it when they get older? A lot of people take stuff like that to their graves. It just feels like it cause of few minor celebrities talk about this stuff on podcasts novadays
"Who was your first woman?" "Well, it was the 300-pound whore." "Jesus Christ." This exchange condenses the essence of the Bukowski experience.
Yeah, the interview could've ended there, honestly, and it still would've encapsulated Bukowski perfectly. Never watched a video that made me laugh in the first 2 or 3 seconds of runtime.

They should make a movie of his life and Robert DeNiro should play him.
Said this to someone just the other day
He’s had a couple of films about him but only small segments of his life. In Barfly he was played by Mickey Rourke and in Factotum he was done by Matt Dillon, the latter was better but a lot of people would fight me on that. I’d personally love to see a decade-spanning biopic with William H. Macy, Ben Mendelsohn or perhaps Willem Dafoe playing his part

Such a tragic guy. A monster and a saint at the same time.
+MsJavaWolf He's a monster on the surface. The kind of guy who abuses not only women but people in general relentlessly. He abused the prostitute because he believes she didn't love him (odds are she didn't, he had to pay for her love after all). But behind that surface is a man who wants to dance in the field with a woman who loves him, caress her hair lovingly as she drifts off to sleep in his bed. More so than that, he was a man who wanted to feel appreciated and loved by just about anybody. Man or woman, friend or lover, it didn't matter. He's the type of man who turns himself into a monster because he wants to believe that he is rejected by society due to a monstrous personality as opposed to features that he simply can't control (looks, wealth etc). That gives him false hope. He tells himself that his life is a mess because he is a monster and he can change that anytime he wants to. He doesn't want to face the fact that the truth is more despairing than that...
+Oscar Hayden (Perdition Bound) And the truth is that society rejected him before he rejected it and it rejected him because he was ugly and poor. Society was the problem, not him. That's the reason why so many people turn themselves into monsters. Hope.

Ok so hey listen I have to tell you what happened last night. I went to a bar with some cocaine looking for some strange and as I’m sitting at the bar drinking and plotting who I would approach and offer cocaine too a couple ladies approached me and said hi. One of them told me I had a “Tom Hardy vibe” going. So at that point I knew I had not only one but two potential ladies I could have sexual intercourse with. So I tell them I could get us a bottle and go to the Motel 6, where I have a room that I’ve been living in ever since my wife threw me out cause she found out I was sleeping with her sister, and I mention the cocaine I have in my pocket. And they say yes. I like to offer to get a bottle cause that saves me money from having to buy a lot of drinks. I also put a lot of baby laxative in the cocaine to make it last longer cause it’s really expensive and I don’t have a lot of money and I still need to be able to pay for the room at the Motel 6 or else I’ll be living in my car again. So I take the ladies to my room and I bring out a vodka bottle. And it’s like the cheapest vodka. But I take off the label so they don’t know. So they start drinking and doing lines and I go to the bathroom to use my German made penis enlarger pump. I read somewhere online that the pumps from Germany are the best. So I’m in the bathroom pumping but it’s not working. I couldn’t get it up. Meanwhile I have these two fairly attractive ladies waiting on me. I must be drinking too much and snorting too much cocaine and it caused me erectile dysfunction. So I’m in the bathroom feeling bad and I hear them snorting more and more coke and I wanted them to stop cause I need that coke. So I came out of the bathroom and told them I couldn’t get it up and I asked them to leave. I didn’t even bother lying to them. I was too depressed to care. After they left I was missing my wife so I called her but her new boyfriend picked up the phone and he told me that if I ever called her again he would beat me up.

Listening to this as a 24 year old virgin myself and hearing the interviewer being shocked by Bukowski admitting that he was a virgin until 24 just makes me fucking depressed man…
Man you're not alone. People that judge a person by the age he/she lost his/her virginity are the most ignorant beings on earth. They don't consider that not every one is lucky enough to meet the right person in a young age. The fact that someone loses his virginity younger is most of the time a matter of luck and coincidence, that has nothing to do with personality or capabilities. Explain to me why so many geniouses such as Nicola Tesla died virgins. In this case, the interviewer is both ignorant and disrespectful, non taking into account that "Really?" can become an offensive response, just as much as telling it to someone who got his driving license at 20+
hey man, don't be depressed. just find yourself a 300 pound whore of your own - or maybe even a 299 pound whore, so as to not one-up Bukowski
I'm 22 and lost it to a prostitute. Considering paying for a lady bro.
Don’t worry about it
The interviewer did not react that way because he was still a virgin, he did because the way Bukowski throw it "a 300 pound whore"
I read somewhere in the comments that someone felt pity for Charles Bukowski. Are you kidding me?! You pity Charles Bukowski?! Well, I pity you for not knowing who to spend your pity on. Why on earth will you pity someone as complex and self-aware as him?
One thing you can learn from the latent wisdom in bulowski's words: You can compromise on the partner but never on the time you choose to loose the scarlet 'V'. A great answer to give to anyone when being subjected to peer pressure. Are all the guys and gals in highschool listening to this?
