In ancient times, there were ** in Qinglou, and they lived miserably.
When it comes to the ancient Qinglou, people will immediately think of those women with heavy makeup standing at the door, casting winks at the passing men, entering the room to drink and laugh, and the scene of clouds and rain.
In ancient times, Qinglou was not only a female practitioner, but also constituted a huge group of people. Like women, some offer talent shows, some sell themselves, and their essence is not much different.
However, if you go deeper, life may be more difficult than that of women, and once they step into this industry, their situation may be more miserable than that of women. This fashion was very popular during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and then gradually gained control in the Song Dynasty, but it became popular again in the Ming Dynasty.
Not only that, **is not limited to Qinglou, many wealthy people will also solicit** as a status symbol.
What we are going to discuss today is the living conditions of male brothel workers. Whether male or female, many of them are forced into this profession because of the pressures and difficulties of life.
At a young age, some children were sold because of their family's poverty, or when they met relatives and friends who had no conscience, they were sold to the Qinglou for more money. There are also some children who unfortunately fall into the hands of traffickers and are abducted and sold to Qinglou, forming an industrial chain, and traffickers continue to abduct and sell children to make profits.
These things seem unimaginable to us modern people.
When their minds were immature and their bodies were not yet fully developed, the environment of the Qinglou made them feel frightened and began to resist strongly. However, the more they resisted, the more difficult it became, and the Qinglou showed no mercy to the disobedient, beating and scolding them, and even imprisoning them in a small black house, depriving them of food and water, and only those who were willing to give in and beg for mercy had a chance to survive.
Those who persist in resisting often die as a result.
In Qinglou, the ** people lost their freedom and choice at a very young age, and they had to go along with it in order to survive. Their lives often require a certain feminine character.
They also have to go through the same costumes as women, and even before the voice change, they wear women's clothes for people to play with. However, their ** is much lower than that of women, and the more talented, younger, and better looking they are, the higher they are.
Although they obey the arranged work, they have little income to go into their own pockets and are clearly exploited. In their daily work, they wear men's clothes when they go out, but inside they wear women's clothes, accompany them to drink and laugh, try their best to make the guests happy, and even take off their ** when they go to bed, looking no different from women.
Some male entertainment workers have made a name for themselves in the industry with their outstanding looks and talents, and have gained widespread praise and popularity. More and more powerful people are interested in their services and are willing to pay a high fee for them.
They even go so far as to divorce and give up their possessions in pursuit of that kind of excitement and fun like no other. These male entertainment workers, who have achieved top status, need to hand over most of their earnings to their bosses or agents.
While they enjoy a unique lifestyle, their future is fraught with uncertainty and risk. Some well-known male entertainment workers were eventually redeemed by powerful people or ** organizations, and their fortunes changed dramatically.
It is a process of moving from one bondage to another, and they still do not have real freedom, but only become the private property of some people, and thus lose the opportunity to earn tips.
The families they are ransomed from usually have many of these "assets", so in their daily lives, they also need to compete with other "assets", and only by performing well can they have a chance to live a truly good life.
So, people only see their glamorous side, in fact, they are just money-making machines without emotion, and they don't know how to bear the grief and pain alone in the dead of night.
As adults, their careers pass like water, and the interests of employers cool down in the blink of an eye. After all, new people are constantly emerging, and there are always some young and beautiful juniors who can replace them, which puts them in a disadvantageous position in the workplace.
In order to survive, some people have no choice but to change careers to become pimps, looking for fresh blood for their employers, turning this business into an industrial chain, and the former perpetrators have once again become a tool to harm others.
Some people may be deprived of everything because they are unwilling to harm others, they have no knowledge, no skills, no savings, and eventually many people become beggars or lose their news.
During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, male-male love was already very popular, and only powerful and noble ladies could have **. The emperor at that time personally selected 30 young, strong, strong and beautiful men for his sister to play with.
During the Tang Dynasty, Wu Zetian used various means to bring ** into his control, and even conquered the world's beautiful men. Not only to serve women, but also to serve wealthy men, which is recorded in the history books, and formed the "theory of broken sleeves".
For example, because Miko was favored by Wei Guojun, he gave half of his peach directly to Wei Jun to eat, making Wei Jun feel that he loved him deeply. However, ** became popular again after the Ming Dynasty, largely because of Cheng Zhu's deformed admiration and the Ming and Qing dynasties' strict crackdown on **Shangqinglou, which led people to turn to **.
As a result, the social atmosphere at that time became extremely bad, and incidents of abduction and trafficking of boys occurred from time to time.
People get bored of staying in the women's market for a long time, so they seek new challenges, such as venturing into the men's market, in search of excitement and novelty, and this trend is driving the development of the market.
This ethos existed not only among the wealthy but also among the common people. As a result, the ancients were somewhat more open than modern humans.
However, despite the openness of ancient societies, they were still patriarchal societies and were seen as playthings of the opposite sex and the same sex, so they suffered far more scorn and ill language than women.
Their dignity has also been severely undermined by the hardships of life, and even if they have the will to return to the right path, society will not accept them. This kind of unethical behavior has been severely cracked down, but it is still repeatedly banned, which fully reflects the abnormal demand of the market.
However, for those who lived in that era, their fate was not good, their life was not happy or not, most of them did not end well, and the pain and bitterness they suffered were real.
