On the cultural communication between the traditional male scholars and the traditional actresses

In the traditional Chinese male scholars' longing for the powers, sex was an important factor. While they were in the condition of being expelled, most of the male scholars would have another requirement for sex in order to prove that they had an illusory power for sex. The actresses, having a unique social status, naturally became an important substitute for the sexual power of the male scholars, thus forming a close relationship between them. This kind of relationship was manifested in having parties, writing poems, communicating with each other and even having love stories. All of the above had a cultural content and formed a spiritual relationship between the male scholars and the actresses. They comforted and placated each other for their frustrations.
