This guy may want to look up the definition of "Bawdy Houses". They not only operated openly and within the bounds of the law in the mid 1700's, but they were present in every major colonial city from New England to the Atlanta. Heck, Philadelphia...the spiritual "home" where America itself was founded, was known as "Sin City" long before Vegas was a glimmer in the mobs eye, primarily because it had so many bawdy houses and brothels.

You could find naked women in any of them.
