Ancient Male and Female Prostitution is a book written by Paolo Mantegazza that explores the history of prostitution in ancient civilizations. The book delves into the practices of male and female prostitution in ancient Greece, Rome, Egypt, and the Near East. Mantegazza examines the social, cultural, and economic factors that led to the development of prostitution in these societies, as well as the attitudes towards prostitution among different classes of people. The author also discusses the various forms of prostitution, including temple prostitution, street prostitution, and slave prostitution. Through a detailed analysis of historical texts and archaeological evidence, Mantegazza provides a comprehensive overview of the ancient world's attitudes towards sex work.
