Conquistador Position

My assumptions upon arrival were not so much to be arbiter of deportment in that new province, so much as become a touristical indulgee, for I had no coin of that alien realm with which to present myself as the local version of God; I forwent most all of their stimulants, other than that enchanting golden vintage which (though dusty-tasting) could cause the brains to reel surrealistical in waking lucid dreams, and thereby, to no great surprise,  I had eventually found myself in  a house of not too great repute; in fact a quite disorderly one. Ah! ... and the girls there ... they'd languidly lounge about, emitting loud suggestions of cheap scent, wafting forth in lewdly expensive lust, much as one could expect to find in any common European bawdy house; and as we were having our fill, they were having their empty.
