  • Paperback - 170 pages 
Same interior, new cover. 
  • The author takes the reader on a journey of discovery from the biological foundations of prostitution among early humans to its sacred functions in the religions of the ancient world, then onto its vital role as a commercialized occupation in the 21st Century.
  • Basing his findings on well established primatological, anthropological, sociobiological, mythological, and archaeological data, he reveals what few have dared contemplate: because prostitution began as a survival mechanism among our ancestors several million years ago, it is literally part of our DNA. Rather than expending valuable resources trying to suppress it, the author argues, society would be much better off understanding, accepting, and decriminalizing it.
  • The foreword is by Xaviera Hollander, author of the international blockbuster The Happy Hooker.
