HOOKERS and even those who are just the bookers of lookers, beware. Rock star GENE SIMMONS, of KISS and of mattresses far and wide, is on your tail - plus any other part of you he can get on. A semi-pro swordsman, Gene's written "Ladies of the Night: A Historical and Personal Perspective on the Oldest Profession in the World."

The man claims 4,800 sexual encounters. Not to be picky but, if so, where'd he find time left to make a list? Anyway, with his legendary insight and whatever other bodily parts assisted in the research, he gives us his thinking on Doing It. He rocks from the first cavewoman to bad girls of the Bible, brothels of Europe, geishas of Japan, courtesans of the Victorian Era, two-buck streetwalkers of Eighth Avenue, saloon ladies of the Wild West, slick chicks of Vegas to today's modern madams and high-end (and high-front) call girls.

Page One: "At the dawn of existence 4 million years ago, that first human female grunted to her male counterpart: 'I'll stay in this nice warm cave. You go out and risk your hairy behind to bring back that delicious Mastodon meat. And I'll trade some of mine for yours.' After that momentous event, nothing would ever be the same."

We read the Sung Dynasty (years 960-1279) triggered the phrase "red-light district" because red lights outside places identified them. We read prostitution was a business for lawmakers plus lawbreakers because Pope Clement II (year 1046) ruled anyone engaged in it must leave half their property to the Church. And Chapter 18 is Gene's interview with three current Ladies of the Evening - who'll also do it daytime - in Hollywood.

This Simmons Books job, written with Julie McCarron, has lush velvety binding, is out July 8 and will be laid down - pardon the expression - along with a contest. Log onto genesimmons.com and, 200 words or less, say why the world's oldest profession is good or bad . . . and why. You can win anything from an actual personal greeting from Gene to - if you manage to get a naked photo delivered - maybe an actual personal phone call.
