Sex and the urge for sex is one of the strongest human desires, no one knows for how long humanity has existed, but you can be certain, little has changed over the millions of years other than the development of modern technology.

Basically we all want to have sex because when it's good, it's one of life's greatest pleasures and the sexual urge aside from feeling good, is driven by the urge to breed and perpetuate our species.

The third element is man's worship of the female as the divine giver of life and the desire to merge with her , this desire is also found in woman's desire to worship men, see tantra.

Primal drives have always been around and is evident throughout our short recorded history.

As we look back in history we see that different societies have treated sex workers differently.

Historically prostitutes worked in the temples, their role was that of a healer, to relieve the sexual tension of the client and give them reassurance as to their validity as a Human Being, restore their sense of self and to encourage them to be more involved in the temple/ community. In this sense the prostitute was equal to the priest. Both helped to restore a sense of soul to the person. Women also utilized the temple girls, not just the men.

In more recent times, the joining forces of the modern church and state with the development of repressive laws has forced the sex industry underground, where it constantly pops out again as it can never be quelled. So much so that in the world today it flourishes openly to be sniped at by community standards groups, criminal elements and the law when they little better to do.

So what of the future? It seems that there will always be a need for sex workers, we think that it will become more sociably accepted and integrated into society, and that sex workers will play an important part in helping to shape the destiny of humanity.
