In Aphrodite's Trade: The Hidden History of Prostitution Unveiled, Southern historian and award-winning Tennessee author Lochlainn Seabrook 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, Col. Seabrook 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 time, money, and resources trying to suppress it, the scholar argues, society would today actually benefit by understanding, accepting, and decriminalizing it. The foreword is by Xaviera Hollander, author of the worldwide bestseller The Happy Hooker. Back cover blurbs by Margo St. James (founder of COYOTE and St. James Infirmary), Carol Leigh (cofounder of ACT UP), Norma Jean Almodovar (founder of ISWFACE), and Dolores French (founder of HIRE). Aphrodite's Trade is available in paperback and hardcover. LOCHLAINN SEABROOK, winner of the prestigious Jefferson Davis Historical Gold Medal, is a popular Civil War scholar, Bible authority, and libertarian-conservative historian who has written and edited nearly 100 books in numerous genres, from history, politics, and science, to nature, religion, and the paranormal.
