Prostitution

Also, don't forget the Romans had hundreds of brothels and that is where women first started wearing "lipstick" to advertise that they performed oral sex.

Really? That would be hilarious if true.
I only found these links:


"According to Egyptologists, women wore red lipstick to show that they were willing to give oral sex and that they were good at it."

"Long before the Egyptians, Romans and Greeks built their majestic ancient civilizations oral sex was already practiced by animals.
However, the Egyptians and Phoenicians put on red lipstick as a way of indication of superb oral sex.

Unlike the Egyptians, The Romans were strongly against fellatio seeing it as a vice worse than anal sex. There was even a widespread belief among the Romans that fellators (the ones giving) had bad breath.
Roman society’s loathing for fellators was so high that most Romans would not even dare have a known fellator as a dinner guest.

This practice of shunning known fellators might have been aggravated by the fact that the Roman form of social greeting, or salute, was a kiss on the lips.

Why can’t we consider the health benefits of the sex acts and classify it as therapy? They are no longer hookers or sex workers but “therapists”. In addition we could charge their services to insurance and Medicaid. With the medical lobbyists behind them the politicians will have to respect them.
