Baccha: Encyclopedia II - Köçek - Roots
The word is derived from the Persian kuchak, "little," "small," or "young." The culture of the köçek, which flourished from the 17th to the 19th century, had its origin in the customs followed at the Ottoman palaces, and in particular in the harems. Its genres enriched both the music and the dance of the Ottomans. The support of the Sultans was a key factor in its development, as in the early stages the art form was confined to palace circles. From there the practice dispersed throughout Anatolia and the Balkans by mea ...

Baccha: Encyclopedia II - Köçek - Culture

A köçek would begin training around the age of seven or eight, and would be considered accomplished after about six years of study and practice. A dancer's career would last as long as he was beardless and retained his youthful appearance. Dancers would get married when they were around 25 or 30, and then could become organizers of a new köçek troop. Köçeks were organized into companies known as kol. Twelve such companies were counted in the mid-1600's, each c ...

Baccha: Encyclopedia - Agave mythology

Agave ("illustrious") was the queen of Thebes in Greek mythology, mother of Pentheus and daughter of Harmonia and Cadmus. She was a Maenad, a follower of Dionysus (also known as Bacchus in Roman mythology). She was married to Echion. In Euripides' play, "The Bacchae", Theban Maenads murdered King Pentheus after he banned the worship of Dionysos because he denied Dionysos' divinity. Dionysos, Pentheus' cousin, himself lured Pentheus to the woods, where the Maenads tore him apart and his corpse was m ...

Baccha: Encyclopedia - Prostitution

Prostitution is the sale of sexual services, such as oral sex or sexual intercourse, for money. A person selling sexual services is a prostitute, a type of sex worker. In a more general sense of the word, anyone selling his/her services for a cause thought to be unworthy can be described as prostituting him/herself. In the UK a prostitute is any individual, "who allows his/her body to be used for lewd purposes in return for payment". Prostitution - Overview and definitions. While prostitutes and thei ...

Baccha: Encyclopedia II - Köçek - Modern offshoots

At the present time, the same-sex love and sexuality aspect of köçek culture is considered to have been "a privilege of the powerful economic classes or the world of the arts." Though no new compositions or performances have taken place in the last hundred years, male dancers dressed as women still perform in some areas of Turkey, though their art is no longer primarily of a sensual nature and is seen primarily as folkloric. The style however continues to inspire modern musicians. Ulvi Cemal Erkin,(1906-1972), is a Turkish classical ...

Baccha: Encyclopedia II - Prostitution - Overview and definitions

While prostitutes and their clients represent all sexes and all sexual orientations, the overwhelming majority of clients are male. Prostitution is rejected by most modern religions as being improper or sinful, and prostitutes are considered to be shameful or individuals of low standing in most societies; in some cultures, their customers are typically also looked down upon but are usually tolerated to a greater degree than the prostitute. The English word whore, referring to (female) prostitutes, is taken from the Old English ...

Baccha: Encyclopedia II - Prostitution - Types of prostitution

Prostitution today occurs in various different settings. In street prostitution the prostitute solicits customers while waiting at street corners or walking alongside a street. Prostitution occurs in some massage parlors and in Asian countries in some barber shops where sexual services may be offered for an additional tip. Where prostitution is more out in the open, solicitation is done at bars, even open-air bars. Thailand is famous world-wide for these establishments. < ...

Baccha: Encyclopedia II - Prostitution - Socio-economic and legal status of prostitution

There is a significant range in the socioeconomic status of prostitutes in Western countries. At the low end, a significant number of prostitutes are also drug addicts who use prostitution to pay for their habit, sometimes referred to as 'crack whores' because of the prevalence of this behavior among some communities of crack cocaine users. At the other end of the spectrum, 'high class' prostitutes may charge ve ...

Baccha: Encyclopedia II - Prostitution - How common is prostitution?

According to the paper "Prostitution and the sex discrepancy in reported number of sexual partners", the number of full-time equivalent prostitutes in a typical area in the United States (Colorado Springs, CO, during 1970 - 1988) is estimated at 23 per 100,000 population (0.023%), of which fraction some 4% were under 18. The paper goes on to estimate a mean number of 868 male sexual partners per prostitute per year of active sex work, and offers the conclusion that men's self-reporting of prostitutes as sexual partners is seriously under-reported. The length of these pros ...

Baccha: Encyclopedia II - Prostitution - Medical situation

Since prostitutes tend to have large numbers of sexual partners, prostitution has often been associated with the spread of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) such as AIDS. Typical responses to the problem are: banning prostitution completely introducing a system of registration for prostitutes that mandates health checks and other public health measures educating prostitutes and their clients to encourage the use of barrier contracepti ...

Baccha: Encyclopedia II - Prostitution - History

Prostitution is often described as "the world's oldest profession". Prostitution (at least in the modern sense) cannot have emerged before the emergence of money, which can only have taken place after the emergence of several trades, and it has been claimed that midwives are really the world's oldest profession. However, prostitution has been noted in Bonobo chimpanzee behavior based around access to food and gifts of food, and in penguins in regard to access for suitable stones for nest building. Until the age of industrialization the world ...

Baccha: Encyclopedia II - Homosexuality - Academic study

The manifestation of sexual orientation is subject to a considerable variability. Thus it is common for homosexual individuals in heteronormative societies to love, marry, and have children with individuals of the opposite sex, a practice that may be done primarily for social reasons in societies which reject same-sex relations, as a cover for one's orientation (such relationships are known as "beards"). The opposite situation seems to obtain in homonormative societies, where men whose primary attraction may be to the opposite sex nonetheles ...

Baccha: Encyclopedia II - Homosexuality - Etymology and usage

The word homosexual translates literally as "same-sex," being a hybrid of the Greek prefix homo- meaning "same" and the Latin root sex- meaning "sex." The first known appearance of the term homosexual in print is found in an anonymously published 1869 German pamphlet written by the Hungarian Karl-Maria Kertbeny. The term homosexual can be used as a noun or adjective to describe persons as well as their sexual orientation, sexual history, or self-identification. Since homosexual places emphasis ...

Sexual customs have varied greatly over time and from one region to another. These, as well as the orientation of particular pre-contemporary figures continue to be studied. Modern Western gay culture, largely a product of 19th century psychology as well as the years of post-Stonewall gay liberation, is a relatively novel manifestation of same-sex love. It is generally not applicable as a standard when investigating same-gender sex and historical opinions and beliefs held by other people. It is generally accepted that the lives of his ...

Baccha: Encyclopedia II - Homosexuality - Art and literature

One of the main ways in which the record of same-sex love has been preserved is through literature and art. Homoerotic sensibilities are at the foundation of art in the west, to the extent that those roots can be traced back to the ancient Greeks. Homer's Iliad is considered to have the love between two men as its central feature, a view held since antiquity. Plato's Symposium also gives readers commentary ...
