A cursory examination of prostitution in 19th century Edinburgh with the author suggesting that the morals of that age are still reflected in today’s society. An interesting if not instructive read. 

Note: Prostitution’s relationship with modern society is complex, involving societal, legal, and economic factors. Many societies view prostitution negatively due to religious beliefs, the spread of STDs historically, and the prevalence of violence and coercion, such as trafficking, within the industry. While some countries have legalized and regulated it, many still criminalize it, and even where it is legal, it often carries a social stigma. The topic is further complicated by the fact that sex work and sex trafficking are often intertwined, as many who start as minors are coerced into or continue in prostitution into adulthood.

Warning: This book was part of the erotic library gathered by the famous Cambridge Don, computer scientist, food and wine connoisseur, Jack Arnold LANG, along with medical friends and family involved in Freudian research. Sexual instincts or drives have deeply hidden roots in the unconscious mind. Instincts act by giving vitality and enthusiasm to the mind through meaning and purpose. The range of instincts is in great numbers. Freud expressed them in two categories. One is Eros, the self-preserving life instinct containing all erotic pleasures. While Eros is used for basic survival, the living instinct alone cannot explain all behavior, according to Freud. In contrast, Thanatos is the death instinct. It is full of self-destruction of sexual energy and our unconscious desire to die. The main part of human behavior and actions is tied back to sexual drives. Since birth, the existence of sexual drives can be recognized as one of the most important incentives of life. The enclosed book was part of this research.
