Writings of Prostitutes


Art by Paul Avril from the book, The Life
 and Adventures of Miss Fanny Hill,1748.
Did you know that prostitution was the main focus of many of the earliest erotic literary works? The term 'pornography' comes from the Greek pornographos meaning "the writings of prostitutes."

The writings were descriptions of the lives and manners of prostitutes and their customers in ancient Greece.

Here is a picture from the book, The Adventures of Miss Fanny Hill. Written in 1748, while the author was in debtor's prison, it was considered the first original English prose pornography.

The novel is a series of letters from Frances 'Fanny' Hill, a young prostitute who works in a brothel in London, to a woman friend. Anal intercourse, mutual masturbation, masochism, drag balls, homosexuality, bisexuality, drugs, orgies and rape fantasies are all written about in her letters.
