  • The author takes the reader on a journey of discovery from the biological foundations of prostitution among early humans to its sacred functions in the religions of the ancient world, then onto its vital role as a commercialized occupation in the 21st Century.
  • Basing his findings on well established primatological, anthropological, sociobiological, mythological, and archaeological data, he reveals what few have dared contemplate: because prostitution began as a survival mechanism among our ancestors several million years ago, it is literally part of our DNA. Rather than expending valuable resources trying to suppress it, the author argues, society would be much better off understanding, accepting, and decriminalizing it.
  • The foreword is by Xaviera Hollander, author of the international blockbuster The Happy Hooker.
Review: "One of the many things I love about Aphrodite's Trade is that it teaches without prejudice, without malice, without cattiness. Written in a straight-forward manner and with true integrity, its deep insights into human nature make it easy to relate to. . . . This is the first book I've ever read that provides a holistic history of prostitution, from its beginnings as a survival mechanism in the mists of prehistory to its culmination in the 21st Century as a commercialized business. . . . Mr. Seabrook, a conservative-libertarian Christian, sees himself as following in the footsteps of others from this group who favored decriminalizing prostitution; namely Saint Augustine and the founder of The National Review, William F. Buckley, Jr." - XAVIERA HOLLANDER
