Earliest Prostitution
Prostitute don't call their job "oldest profession in the world" for nothing. The "Art of prostitution" and "the cult of the prostitute" are two of the consecrated treasures given to the Sumerian goddess Inanna by her father Enki, the god of wisdom. Inanna decided to take these gifts back to Sumer , where the folks dedicated hymns to her and openly practiced these bequests to please the gods. The first written texts date back to 4500 BC. And historians think that the practice had its genesis much earlier.
Youngest Prostitutes
Far too young to be engaged in such practices, several historians tell us.The great archetypal profligate and sadist - Emperor Tiberius, got his kicks by pedophile the historian Suetonius tells us in The Twelve Caesars, No. 44:
Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek, Copenhagen
Different aspects of his criminal indecency are almost too mean to discuss, much less believe. Imagine training little  boys, whom he called his "minnows," to chase him while he went swimming and get between his legs and lick and nibble at him. Or letting babies not yet weaned from their mother's breast suck at him—what a filthy old man he had become!
Tiberius called little boys "minnows". They followed him while he went swimming and get between his legs and lick and little bite him.
Such form of infantile prostitution became stylish among the disgusting upper class. But in 84 AD, Emperor Domitian interdicted such movement. He publicly declared that no child can be prostituted until the age of seven.
Highest Tax On
Making a break off from papal declarations, absolving sin, and blessings to handle the truly important matters, Pope Clement II (who reigned 1046-1047) issued a bull requiring anyone who had ever engaged in prostitution to leave half of her property (50%) to the Church. |
