      Don't know, but it reminds me of Blake: "Prisons are built with stones of law, brothels with bricks of religion."

      huh? I don't understand what this means. Brothels exist in Christian areas, in post-Christian / secular areas, and in communist / atheist areas. Expand?

      Prisons are the consequence of laws (a way to deal with lawbreakers); by implication, brothels address the consequences of religion.

      ...except... brothels exist when there's prudish religion, when there's no religion, and when there's permissive religion. So there's absolutely no correlation, and nothing about religion is causitive. Brothels exist because men want sex and will pay for it.

      I'm not trying to defend the quote, just to sort out its logic. But the obvious implication is that *institutionalized* prostitution is a result of/response to religion, due to something inherent in all religion.

      yep, not attacking you! Also just playing w the topic. I'm reading a book on Roman religion and mores right now, and it makes the point that Rome was INSANELY religious, but the religion, celebrated sexuality and sensuality So, again, we have brothels in all religious environs

          The core issue is, I think, that the modern counter-culture (now the overculture) likes to imagine itself as a scrappy rebel against the overculture (now the counter-culture), so everything bad is bc of the overculture ... and the historical analysis goes back MAYBE 50 years...

          Blake wrote in the late 18th century. The quote is from a collection called "Proverbs of Hell", in which he expressed ideas in an intentionally off-putting way to get people to think about them. https://harpers.org/blog/2007/12/blakes-proverbs-of-hell/ …

          Sex and sexuality were certainly baked into Roman religion, that may be the most widely known example.
