The Middle Ages
editRather a summary treatment I think. Prostitution in the 11th, 12th and 13th cents was often associated with bath houses. Bath houses eventually fell into disrepute and were suppressed. It has been suggested that this made populations more vulnerable to parasite-borne disease. The colour green was associated with mediaeval prostitution, with prostitutes often being required to wear green. I'm not an authority but could this information be taken up in the article? -Everybody got to be somewhere! (talk) 01:09, 31 January 2011 (UTC)
- Seems mostly made up, so... No? — LlywelynII 11:21, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
Pick a lane
editObviously the 16th–21st centuries included Arabia, India, China, Japan, America, and (however unfortunately) the United Kingdom. Either divide by region or by time period. If the medieval to early modern section just covers Europe, make them subsections of a section on Europe and shunt material on other regions out. If the 20th & 21st centuries theoretically cover everyone, add the material from the regional and national sections back into them and make it clear that the regional treatment is only handling the ancient/medieval period for those areas. — LlywelynII 11:26, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
- I agree. The article already have sections by culture/region, so the easiest way would be to simply divided those already excisting sections in to sub sections by century. That would be the least work I think. --Aciram (talk) 11:52, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
