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. Known as the "American Robert Graves" and the "Southern Joseph Campbell" for his many works on spirituality, mythology, thealogy, and theology, Seabrook is a seventh generation Kentuckian of Appalachian heritage, a Kentucky Colonel, a member of the Sons of Confederate Veterans, the sixth great-grandson of the Earl of Oxford, and a descendant of numerous Goddess-worshiping European kings and queens. His adult and children's books have introduced hundreds of thousands to truths that have been left out of our mainstream books. Seabrook has a forty-five year background in American history, Southern history, and Bible studies, and is the author of the international blockbuster, Everything You Were Taught About the Civil War is Wrong, Ask a Southerner!

Like it was written by George Santos
Received an Advanced Reader Copy from a friend. I am an avid true crime reader and upon completion I question if the author is credible. The timeline does not add up for his age and the times of his alleged involvement in organized crime. Some of the things in the book he is alleged to have said and done I remember almost word for word from movies I had previously watched. He literally stole a scene from the movie the accountant with Ben Affleck and said that he did it. I did a little research after completing the book and learned that this author was also claiming in 2010 that he was a long time member of the Bloods Gang. That coupled with the above leads me to believe that it is nothing more than fantasy. Do not waste your time or money

What a difficult story to tell. I appreciate the honesty and vulnerability. Definitely made me think.
I had hopes for this book but was not expecting what I would read within the pages. If your kink is deplorable grammar, incoherent sentences, and inconsistent messages, then this book is for you. At first, I thought the book I received was not the book I ordered. But as I dived in, it was very confusing. I would not recommend this book to anyone
There are not many reviews on the internet for this book. In researching the many stores selling the book, it was self-published which makes a lot of sense. The online description is written perfectly, so reading the actual book was very difficult. Pages two and three are written clearly as well as the table of contents. Pages 155 and 156 are also written logically.
It appears this book was written, then sent through a program like “Grammarly.” Once completed it seems it was published without being re-read or edited. The first clue was the title narrative that used “Has” instead of “As.” The table of contents is one page off from what it shows on pages four though seven. Many of the “q’s” are written as “[]”
Below are some examples of what was within the pages of this book written verbatim:
“Chains & Discipline/ Domination & entry/ Sadism & Masochism (BDSM) is a wide classification of bed room play.” Page 9
“When bringing up the topic of chains, you are actually asking a person to offer you their depend on, their flexibility, and also possibly their suggestion of security in exchange for sensual/sexual enjoyment, power-play, and also feasible re-evaluation of your very own connection.” Page 39
“Techni[]ue can take a selection of kinds and also be as easy or facility as you pick to (new paragraph) bargain for your details scenario” Page 52
“BDSM stands for chains as well as entry, technique and also supremacy as well as sadism and also masochism.” Page 125
“SHELF means Risk Aware Consensual Kink.” Page 130
“Approval is whatever.” Page 152
“your twist isn’t my twist, yet your twist is OKAY.” Page 153
“You can be a top, base, or button” Page 153
Good service, good book. Just what I was looking for! Thank you!
