A male client solicits sex from a female courtesan: Prostitution seen as a proud achievement of Athenian democracy
FEMALE PROSTITUTION AND ATHENIAN DEMOCRACY Among the reforms credited to Solon was the institution of brothels staffed by slave women at a price that put them within the reach of all citizens. Commercial sex would no longer be reserved for the wealthy. There would always be a category of persons for citizens to dominate, socially and sexually. The disenfranchisement of male prostitutes and the inexpensive provision of female prostitutes can from one perspective be seen as linked to a new collective image of the citizen body as masculine and assertive, and as in control of its own pleasures. Athenian democracy was marked by a series of dualities: master and slave; dominant and submissive; active and passive; customer and prostitute; citizen and non-citizen; male and female.
