Summary/Abstract: In the history of culture, very rarely is there an analysis of prostitution as a social institution. Nevertheless, its stability over many centuries suggests the existence of significant biosocial roots in the basis of this phenomenon. Even more rarely is the analysis of the connection in the origin of prostitution and adultery, despite the well-known similarity in the generation of both phenomena. All known facts allow us to say that both these phenomena are associated with both monogamous marriage, and with gender discrimination, segregation and gender biosocial asymmetry of physical and mental development. Repeated attempts by the authorities of the European world to eradicate these phenomena were doomed to failure. Both of these phenomena are of no small importance in modern society, but their causes have somewhat changed.
