Prostitution is the oldest profession existing in the world. It got over the wars, the eras, the destructions, the changes… It has sometimes been accepted, sometimes denied, sometimes at fashion, sometimes forbidden.. But it has always been present and discussed. In the 21-st century people are supposed to be more free-minded and accept differences. But prostitution is still seen in the majority of countries as something “dirty”. It’s the public secret. It’s the thing everyone does and no one talks about. Prostitutes have bad reputations.

Aside from AIDS, there are houses were the “Madame” will allow abuse, provided the customer pays enough for it! (In Holland, they actually have a S&M college where professional submissive and professional dominators have get their certificates from. otherwise, they aren't allowed to go into business).
