Pedo Aretino, theatrical author and creator of libelos, endowed with a fine ingenuity, got, through its irreverent works, to establish a refreshing counterweight to the refined culture of his time. His work is composed of a large number of topics and not only by scandal literature, as some define it, perhaps, by these dialogues where the courtesan institution analyzes as a physical and moral prostitution, as a typical phenomenon of a society in crisis, transmitting Through it its acid and irreverent point of view about society and custom of its time, constituting a ruthless satire of it.

A dialogue of married and courtesans is considered as the work that contributed greatly for Aretino to be considered as an obscene writer, although it does nothing more than describe the profession of courtesan. It is divided into two parts, the first, located in Rome, contains a colloquium where a woman tells another the life of the married, in the second part, in the same place of the day before, this same woman as much as her daughter life of the courtesans. In this way, the author describes several aspects of the world of monkeys, courtesans and married women: his loves, wishes, lust, his jealousy and interest, as well as his mareedicencies. Aretino describes the mood of his characters, introducing them alive and with real details, are female characters who dominate with their arts the weak world of men around them. The same lusty lovers appear than mothers (courtesans consummate) motivating their daughters to take advantage of their body, teaching them to exercise the office of courtesans, revealing them all their secrets and inconveniences, the betrayals of the unhappy man who believe them, everything This is described with a cunning malice. It is a living work full of unbridled inspiration, away from all hypocrisy, moral or pedantry, which perfectly describes and satirizing this corrupted and sensual world of the high social classes of the sixteenth century.

As well as achieving decameron, describing an erotic, cheeky and cynical world, with stories full of eroticism, this work manages to awaken the libido of the readers.
