Was it true that male prostitutes were forbidden in Song Dynasty?
Really, in order to ban male prostitutes, the Song Dynasty actually cut off the penis and stuffed it in the anus, which was terrible and revealed the tragic fate of ancient male prostitutes. Men become prostitutes, sell their bodies and become playthings of the opposite sex and the same sex, which has always existed in the history of China. However, due to the long feudal society in China and the profound sense of husband rights, the phenomenon of male prostitution is not widely known, and its words are flickering and hard to find. In today's modern society, male prostitutes are also called prostitutes and Midnight Cowboy, commonly known as "ducks" or "ducks", and now generally refer to men who provide sexual services to women. Calling male prostitutes "ducks", the mainstream society has always despised male prostitutes, thinking that male prostitutes are far more disgusting than prostitutes selling meat by the door, because male prostitutes are the supreme dignity of men and have been destroyed. In ancient China society, male prostitutes first appeared to satisfy the status and wealth of aristocratic women. Here, there are records about Wu Zetian playing with "face first" everywhere. The popularity of male prostitutes in ancient times far exceeded our imagination, especially from the Five Dynasties to the Song Dynasty. The prosperity of male prostitutes not only exists in the court, but also in the people, which makes us modern people lament the "openness" of our ancient ancestors. Although male prostitutes were despised by the mainstream society in ancient times, even severely cracked down, a bit like today's anti-pornography and illegal publications, but there is demand, there is a market. Therefore, in the Song Dynasty, the male color in Kyoto and surrounding counties and cities was still prosperous, and it seemed to decline slightly in the Yuan Dynasty. In the Ming dynasty, male color began to flourish again. At that time, it was a fashion for both the emperor and the common people to treat male prostitutes. In ancient times, there were great differences on some sexual issues. Some advocated "masculinity", and some dynasties were actually gay. Even some dynasties cut off their penises and stuffed them in the anus in order to prohibit the existence of male prostitutes, which was extremely cruel. Because the love between homosexuals is not tolerated, homosexual lust is reduced to pure low-level physical venting, which has created the prosperity of for-profit male prostitutes.
