Terry Richardson

Fashion photographer Terry Richardson--he of waggling privates and predatory behavior--told The Journal that once he discovered sex, he was obsessed with it. As posted on The Cut:

I was a late bloomer, because once I got sober I was like, "Wow, sex is awesome, this is crazy," and then it became like a drug. You become addicted, like a sex addict or whatever, and I did all of these photographs because it was new for me. I've grown out of that phase, which was coming out of working through live and just tripping out.

He added:

Sex is intense. Sex, food, drugs, shopping, alcohol, the gym, plastic surgery, collecting art, there are all of these things that people get a rush from or become obsessed with. Sex then was never an addiction but a kind of obsession, and it was fun. It was all during the day and there were people everywhere and the energy was incredible. To me, it was like a happening.

Wait...so he had sex, during the day, with people all around? We're just going to stop right there. We don't need to know any more.

I agree. Art that bad should be a crime.

Or wait... did you actually mean that having lots of sex should be against the law? Okay, you lost me. Cuz while I'm sure you're a very nice person, you sound like a fringe right wing Puritan.

No, Nibblybits meant that Richardson's a sexual predator and criminal and should be in jail. I expect he'll end up in jail, beaten or dead pretty soon--he's got some very bad habits.
