B E R L I N, Germany, Dec. 2 -- Rolf Eden, a Berlin property tycoon, former nightclub owner, and all-purpose celebrity, says he is offering $125,000 to any woman, from anywhere in the world, who can kill him with sex.

"My real desire is to die on a lady, while making love," Eden said. "A lawyer has my will, and in my will I have $125,000 for this lady."

Eden is known by many as the "Hugh Hefner" of Germany. He doesn't publish a magazine, but he is a wealthy playboy.

He's also of a certain generation, 72 years of age, and of a certain philosophy, not necessarily shared by his hero in a Los Angeles mansion, that would not even get him past the parking lot in a major corporation. But that doesn't seen to bother Rolf Eden in the slightest.

He is about as politically incorrect as a man can be these days. On the thorny modern dilemma of whether a man should buy dinner on the first date, Eden brushes such a "small issue." He is not only going to pay for dinner, he is going to offer to pay for a lot more, if the woman is "nice" to him.

"I've never paid [a woman] for making love, but I spent it on them. If they need a new nose, or a new breast, or they want to go to school, or go to university," he said.

This self-proclaimed "Daddy Bigbucks" figures that offering a $125,000 bounty (actually 125,000 euros, which is almost the same amount) is well worth it.

Applicants Must Be Young, Attractive and Healthy

Eden says that even at age 72 he is fit as a fiddle, and ready for love. He claims he will pay for an unspecified number of women to fly to Berlin from various parts of the world, for a couple of days of sexual activity, providing they fit his criteria.

Basically that seems to mean they must be young, attractive, healthy, and with a practical outlook on life. "If a lady will come here, she really has to work hard," he said.

But doesn't it trouble him to know that a woman with whom he is making love, is actually trying to kill him with passion?

"Of course they are," he conceded. "I don't care why they make love to me, who cares, as long as I have my fun all the time. Just for killing a man while doing love, that's a good beautiful thing to do."
