__NOEDITSECTION__ Partaking in tea and strumpets was a popular pastime in Great Britain during the Victorian era. Though the practice never gained the popularity of the less illicit tea and crumpets due to the fact that prostitution, associating with someone of lower social class than yourself, and sexual intercourse of any sort were frowned upon in Queen Victoria’s England, the enjoyment of tea and strumpets by the aristocracy of the period was nonetheless an important and extremely stereotypical facet of Victorian British culture.
