Abstract

One morning in 1982, interested in knowing how anarchists understood "free love", I went to investigate the National Library of Rio de Janeiro, where I found the following indication in the file: "free love - see prostitution". I thus discovered that prostitution had a history, despite being considered "the oldest profession in the world", and that much of that history had been made not only by the characteristic characters of the bohemian world — prostitutes, "midwives", gigolos, clients-, but also by medical hygienists and criminologists, authors of innumerable theses and scientific treatises on "sexual perversions" and sexuality in general.
