This is all I ever really wanted – a concubine. Look it up, there’s a whole wikipedia page dedicated to the topic, it’s actually impressive. It’s got sections separated by continent that span all of human history. You cannot tell me for a second that there aren’t women who have been specifically bred for this one purpose all across the globe.Sultans, kings, despots, conquerors, pimps, and global elites keep entire harems of them. But I just want one. All for me.
What makes a concubine special is that she knows that she’s not going to be my wife. I already have one of those. That’s average and let’s face it – can be pretty boring. Don’t get me wrong. It’s not that I am in a loveless marriage. But the history of concubinage does not have the breadth and depth it does because of unhappy marriages. Marriages serve a social purpose, a projection for others that they expect to see.
