Public city/public sex : homosexuality, prostitution, and urban culture in nineteenth-century Paris
\"In the nineteenth century, Paris was redesigned in ways intended to exercise social control over its citizens. This effort to control certain kinds of interactions, however, created new spaces that female prostitutes and men who sought sex with other men could use for public sex\"-- Provided by publisher.

Subterranean Cities: The World beneath Paris and London, 1800-1945
In the chapter that focuses mainly on sewers, he also dwells on prostitution, the justifications for this move being that public health reformers such as A. J. Parent Duchâtelet sought to combat it as well as fecal pollution and that prostitutes' bodies were sometimes described as \"seminal drains.\" Such larger matters as similarities and differences between treatments of London and Paris, relations between these cities and others, and changes over time (the final chapter being wholly given over to the twentieth century) are addressed repeatedly but not in ways that enable this reviewer to summarize readily what Pike has to say about them.
