'Be Curious, Not Judgemental'
Whores of Yore is a proudly sex-positive, inter-disciplinary, pro-sex worker rights research hub and archive, dedicated to exploring the history of human sexuality and challenging shame and stigma.
Whores of Yore works to make research on sexuality and the history of sex accessible to the general public. The website and social media feeds bring images, anecdotes, documents, trivia and cutting edge research to the incurably curious; providing a platform for academics, sex workers, activists and the general public to engage, debate and crowd source knowledge exchange. It is an important tool in contextualising current debates around sexuality, gender and cultural attitudes to sex. The website provides a space where leading academics, activists, archivists and sex workers can submit articles, images, podcasts and signpost their research.
We are here to educate, amuse, titillate, and illuminate the realities of sex-work, historically and in the modern age.
Featuring regular submissions from academics worldwide, and thousands of supporters, we hold a treasure trove of resources right your fingertips. We are in a process of continual growth and expansion - so, if you would like to add your voice and / or research to the archives, please fill out the contact form.
