Ancient men had three wives and four concubines. Why did they visit brothels?

Ancient men all had three wives and four concubines, which made modern men very envious, but even if they all had three wives and four concubines, they would still patronize brothels for the following reasons.

First, I lost my initial love for my wife and concubine. No matter in ancient times or in modern times, the intense love between lovers will gradually fade away with the passage of time. It is the same whether you have only one wife or three wives and four concubines. In ancient times, there was no legal constraint on the feelings of married men, and brothels, which can provide more emotional passion, were legal, so they naturally attracted many men to patronize brothels.

Second, if there are more wives, there will be more right and wrong. Although it is beautiful for ancient men to have three wives and four concubines, from another perspective, there are many things when there are many people, and the conflict between wives and concubines is enough to make ancient men very headache. After a long time, men will want to avoid these family contradictions and trivial matters. Brothel is a good place for ancient men to relax.

Third, there were few recreational activities in ancient times. Not all women in brothels make a living by selling their erotic images. Many talented women are forced to walk into brothels for various reasons and make a living by their own chess, calligraphy and painting in brothels. In brothels, you can enjoy all kinds of artistic performances. In this era of lack of entertainment in ancient times, brothel is a place that can add fun to life, so it also attracts many literati to make friends here.

Fourth, visiting brothels was a symbol of men's social status in ancient times. The consumption of brothels is generally high, which is not affordable for ordinary people. Being able to visit brothels with people who want to visit them is either rich or expensive, so visiting brothels has become a symbol of men's status. Maybe not everyone wants to go, but they have followed suit.

With the continuous progress of social civilization, the three wives and four concubines in ancient times have become modern monogamy, and brothels have been replaced by more entertainment projects that are beneficial to social development. It is difficult for us to evaluate the correctness of these ancient phenomena. Every dynasty has its own characteristics, and its existence is reasonable.
