sounds good!

Quote:

Matthew Sweet looks at the libertinism that was rife in 18th-century London in the form of prostitutes, erotic entrepreneurs and a wide range of sex clubs. The culture was also characterised by risque ballads and the circulation of licentious pamphlets and lascivious prints

I am sure Paris from Baudelaire's time ''Flowers Of Evil'' banned poetry book was a hot time ...Berlin in 1920s was one huge bordello . . .

It was somewhat interesting.

I find it interesting that barely a century ago, most drugs were legal and most men shagged prossies.

Of course, diseases, not just the sexual type were rife, but boy these do seem like the good old days!

Makes Amsterdam look like a convent by comparison!

I would love to find a good illustrated book on history of prosititution.
