Fucking for Money, Vol. 4: Prostitution in Ancient Greece, Rome, and Japan

Sex is a necessity of life. Without it, new life would never be created and the world would stop. But for many, sex is one of the world's biggest taboos. It is a topic many won't speak of in public yet those same people often times like to get their freak on between the sheets. Then there are others that freely discuss sex and have no problem having multiple partners throughout life. Then there is a whole different set of people who make a living off of sex.

Prostitutes have been around since the dawn of man. Some do it by their own free will, some do it because they're forced into it, and some do it for reasons unknown.
