Just a random thought that I probably won't ever get around to working up into a story:

Places like Colonial Williamsburg have "historical reenactors" and "living historians" -- Are the Tarts and Hookers represented?

Places like Pompeii, Old Tombstone, Rome, Athens, London, etc all have tour guides to take people around and show them points of historical interest. Part of the historical interest in Pompeii is the erotic art in what were apparently houses of prositution -- I wonder if any guides have demonstrated that stone bed platforms were more comfortable than one might think?

If I ever get around to this idea, I think I'd start with a shy teenage girl applying for a summer job as a guide or historical reenactor and getting a job that breaks her out of her shell.

Working a Ren-faire as a tavern wench is another possible wayto take this concept.

I know this first post is old, but I just wanted to reply to this comment. For many years I have been one of the wenches in the Drench a Wench dunking booth at Iowa Western's Renn Faire. ;)
 
interesting idea.

I don't know much about it, but there is this story about Sodom and Gomorrah ....

So this guide is walking around and telling the audience: "On this place, a whole family had huge incest gangbangs. Fathers with their daughters, mothers with their sons, brothers and sisters .... to make it easier for you to understand, we show you how everything happened."

A group of 10 people start to undress and have sex with each other.
Suddenly, the guide tells the audience: "to make it as real as possible, we made sure, that all the actors are relatives. For example: this old guy who is screwing this young girl: they just don't pretend it, they are really father and daughter ...."
 
I've been to Pompeji. Hubby and I visited one of those brothels, and were amazed at how small the rooms were, and how easy it must have been for everyone to hear what you were doing. I also tried one of the stone bed platforms, and I tell ya - they are NOT comfortable! I can't imagine those things being comfortable even with a pile of blankets on them!

another way to go as long as this is fantasy is time travel or just to have a historical setting for example in england there was some naughty things happening (ever read lady chatterly's lovers ) and in ancient rome right about the time of the fall of the emperor nero there was wanton debauchry going on all over
