The Filthy Amusements of Chinese Emperors

The Emperor was the sun around which the world of the imperial court orbited. For guards and servants, he would have the most trusted figures sworn to loyalty, castrated from youth and never to place their eyes where they shouldn’t be. Then there were the concubines. An Emperor could have one or two, or an Emperor could have up to a thousand concubines, women ready and waiting for his pleasure. Yet being in the Emperor’s orbit wasn’t all that simple, concubines could be favored or could fall to fierce rivalry, and eunuchs were off limits…but that didn’t stop some. Producing an heir was all-important for the ruler, but maybe their betrothed wouldn’t be the mother of the child. Runaways, suicides, incest, and punishment by death all played a part in the sexual politics of the Imperial Court.

What was the secret life of sex workers like in Ancient Greece? Was the oldest profession in the world much different from today? Let's find out.

Porne is the Greek word for prostitute, which is derived from the Greek word for sale, pernemi. Both men and women worked as prostitutes in Ancient Greece's bustling sex trade.

Female prostitutes were able to work autonomously, and prostitution was seen as a legitimate career. Prostitutes wore a uniform, wore distinguishing clothing, and even paid taxes. A successful prostitute can become not only wealthy, but also powerful.

Like any other occupation, everyone in the business was obligated by law to pay taxes on their earnings, which could imply that the status of this profession was perhaps more advanced than it is today in many nations throughout the world. Prostitutes were frequently brought in as slaves or as foreign women with limited rights who were allowed to earn money by providing sex services.

Slave women who got into business were frequently able to earn enough money to buy their freedom.
