| The Oldest Profession in the World |
|
 
| The stories you will hear during this tour are of the kind you will not find in your history books – or possibly only in footnotes. Some of the stories are funny, some sexy, but they might also make you reflect on the social problems behind them.
This tour offers stories about the prostitution and the „profession“ and the status of prostitutes, moral aspects and double moral standards throughout the centuries. At the time of Empress Maria Theresia there was even a „chastity commission“ (a moral police squad!) which made the Viennese the joke of Europe.
Your will not only learn about medievial prostitution guilds, brothels, red light districts, bath houses and bathing servants, but also about „corner“ beauties and the famous „ditch nymphs“, hygienic standards past and present, the history of venereal diseases such as syphilis, the history of condoms ... etc.
the tour is informative and great entertainment.
