Do many men go to brothels in traditional society?

Because ancient society had a very strict patriarchal system for husband and wife marriage. Although you can have three wives and four concubines, you must never be contaminated with good women, which will have a certain sense of bondage to men, and the status of ancient men is relatively high. Therefore, in order to balance this relationship, there appeared a place of fireworks like brothel, from which brothel actually played a social role in ancient times.

In ancient society, marriage was generally the fate of parents, and the words of matchmakers were similar to those of men and women, except that men had higher social status and had some choices, but not all. Men can't choose their own marriage, so they are curious about the outside world, and the marriage system restricts their behavior to a great extent, so they have to let these men release themselves in another way, but this premise can't hurt the original patriarchal marriage system, so it is the most suitable brothel.

Brothel women can't marry home to be their first wife. Once she gets married and goes home, she will get a lot of criticism. First of all, the ethics of son preference is intolerable, and his family will punish him to warn others and strengthen the original marriage legal system. Secondly, the social people's dissatisfaction and accusations against him. Abandoning his wife in ancient times was basically the end of being scolded by thousands of people, so these men were very discouraged and would not marry a woman in a brothel at all, just for fun. If they really like it, they will become concubines at most.

Brothel and patriarchal clan system in society are mutually restricted. In order to let men have normal human rights and freedoms, brothels exist, but they are strictly restricted. Brothel just takes advantage of this point in male chauvinism and plays such a relatively stable social role. The similarity between them is to balance society, but the difference is that they are different in nature. One is to standardize the correctness of society in a very general way, and the other is just a small branch of it.
