Ancient men didn't go to brothels for selfish desires. What happened?

The ancient brothel was actually an elegant place. Men come here not to vent their selfish desires, but to find a confidante, be arty and cultivate their sentiments.

When we watch TV dramas and ancient novels, we often see the word brothel woman. Many people think brothel is ancient without thinking? Kiln? Or a brothel, but it's not like that. There are still differences between brothels and ancient brothels. Brothels were places of consumption in ancient society, and the prostitutes in them all had certain qualities and talents. Those who spend money in brothels are also literati with rich families or good family conditions. Even some princes and emperors came here to remain anonymous, hoping to see the talents of these girls.

Brothel is synonymous with ancient fireworks. A place where fireworks are set off generally refers to a more prosperous and lively place. Brothel was also used to describe gorgeous and exquisite buildings in ancient times. The decoration of ancient brothels is very particular, with piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, pen and ink, antique porcelain, all kinds of flowers, green tea and hot wine. Young, beautiful, talented and temperamental girls are also waiting quietly in the attic. Most of the guests here are chanting poems, talking with the girls over tea and expressing their feelings that can't be expressed at home. Girls will try their best to please their guests. They will accompany them to write lyrics and poems, and they will dance and sing a song to make them happy. But they are generally entertainers, not prostitutes. Guests who come to brothels have long known that they come to brothels not to vent their selfish desires, but to cultivate their sentiments and find confidants who can express their feelings and relieve the pressure of life.

There are many famous ladies from brothels in history, but it doesn't mean that their past history is despised. As a matter of fact, many talented prostitutes have been sought after and respected by men in the past dynasties, such as Li, Su Xiaoxiao and Li Shishi, and countless prostitutes have been favored by dignitaries and redeemed as concubines.
