The habit of drabbing is
as old as the human society itself. As soon as humankind reached the mental
development that made them able to live in society, there
had appeared this service to satisfy the masculine demand. From prehistoric
times we do not have much information remained concerning this mannish habit
because sexual intercourse with female strangers was likely to happen due to
the physical superiority of males, that is to say, it was violence and coercion
that would make promiscuity available for them any time. Before the development
of societal laws and regulations as well as the system of criminal legislation,
it is quite probable that the male sexual instinct that would arise as
uncontrollably and suddenly (at a sight, for example) as it does with animals
may have been used to be satisfied by force. At the time of tribal communities
and societies it was common to rape women of the adverse tribe or women
robbery: the pretty ones were simply taken away at ambush then raped after
which the distinguished warriors of the tribe, who lived in polygamy, enrolled
them as one of their housewives. We have several references in ancient
historical or mythological sources that warriors would keep female prisoners
for sexual fun who were either made free and promoted to be their wife or kept
as lovers. The most remarkable case is the Greek Achilles’ who rather had
honkey tonkey with the breathtaking female prisoner, Briseis than would give
some thoughts about how to conquer the fortress of Troy. Odysseus himself was
committing adultery for long years with the nymph Calypso, said to be quite
skilful in sexual practices, in her island until he got bored with making love
with just one woman and therefore decided to leave for his wife. His poor wife,
Penelope was worrying to death while her unfaithful husband was having crazily
intense orgasms with the resourceful and magical nymph.
Institutionalized
prostitution first appeared the earliest in the ancient Roman Empire in form of
brothels although the activity itself had already been present in the Grecian
society or in the ancient Egypt. At those times drabbing was considered similar
to a common recreational activity such as going to spa or sauna. It was quite
natural and accepted to visit prostitutes, which was such a typical male habit
as watching football nowadays.
As drabbing is
approximately as old as the natural disposition of males for promiscuity we can
state that this is an archetypical feature of the male gender. No one can
contradict to this fact or halt this primordial instinct. Drabbing was a
flourishing business even at the time of pestilences, and strangely or morbidly
enough, it often took place in cemeteries or among dead bodies, not putting off
at all the male desire.
This male disposition for
promiscuity is so ancient that its realization, the action of drabbing can be
easily called an archetypical male characteristic. If this disposition has been
being had by our gender for such a long time, it can be presumed to be natural,
and if something is natural, it should be normally healthy, that is to say, it
does good to our health. In the next subchapters I will try to summarize why it
is good or beneficial or what advantages it has if men give way to this
archetypical feature by patronizing prostitutes.
