Roman Sex - Hot Sex From the Frescos in Pompeii

Most people know the Roman city of Pompeii was destroyed by an eruption of the volcano Vesuvius.

Due to the magnitude and speed of the destruction of the city, and the almost perfect preservation of the buildings and frescos on the walls, we can get a very good and factual view of Roman Sex as revealed in Pompeii.

Pompeii was known for its wonderful food, beaches, and brothels.

Here today, you can see what sexual practices were performed (even how much were charged for their performance, and who performed them!). Basically however the Roman Sex was a number of specific sexual acts outlined below .

The first was ‘fututio'.

This sex act refers to the dominant/active/male role in heterosexual intercourse. This was practices in the standing position, with the man in back of the woman, rear entry, and the woman braced herself against the wall or table. Another fututio position was the Greek "4 podia" (on all fours, or our doggy-style). In fututio the man is dominant, thrusting, and in control. There is no indication at all of the missionary position.

The second was ‘fellatio'.

Oral sex was considered a taboo for both genders. The Romans considered it unclean. However, it was indeed practiced.

Fellatio was a very popular sexual activity, in spite of its moral taboo. This is oral sex practiced on a male, usually by a female. It is also shown in the frescos being practiced on a man, by a man. In common Roman speech, it was considered extremely insulting if a male citizen was implied to be a practitioner.

The third was ‘irrumatio'

This refers to a male who forces someone to fellate him. Unlike fututio and fellatio, irrumatio was often used as a hostile act, taken directly from the Greek, whereby the Greek men would have to force the fellatio by violence.

Apparently it was quite popular, where the man would be able to feel dominant, an admirable Roman trait.

This is early S and M.

The fourth was ‘pedicatio'

This referred to both make/female penetration and male/male penetration. There was no real distinction as to being gay or straight. Julius Cesar proudly recorded his sexual exploits with both sexes, and it seems that the Roman adopted the Greek sexual habits.

However, pedicantio, whether practiced by man and woman or man and man, had the same actions. This was a standing or sitting position, never face to face, but always the couple facing the same direction.

The last sexual practice was ‘cunnilingus'.

Cunnilingus was first of all considered unclean, also not befitting a man since the man would be in the position of giving pleasure rather than receiving pleasure.

In Roman society women were the givers of pleasure, not the recipients. In any event, it was practiced, perhaps by male prostitutes for their female clientele.

The Romans tolerated all sex except sex with another married citizen for pleasure. If caught and found guilty, there was only one penalty, and that was death.

This however was generally ignored, and sex in the bath houses and organized orgies would be as decadent and vivacious as could be expected. One's wife might find a new partner daily.

Unlike the Greeks who did not wish sexual relations with their slaves (for economic and somehow moral reasons), the Romans thrived on it.

To refuse a master's slightest desire could mean being resold into hard labor, killed outright, or slowly starved to death.

Greek Athletics in the Roman World $175 The Greeks' fascination with athletics in the gymnasium and festivals such as the Olympic Games is well known. However, athletic training and festivals continued to thrive during the Roman period. This book looks at the art associated with Greek athletics to see what it meant to both Greeks and Romans during the period of the Roman Empire. It argues that athletics continued to act as a crucial sign of Greek identity as well as providing new forms of leisure activities for the. citizens of Rome. - ;The enduring importance of Greek athletic training and competition during the period of the Roman Empire has been a neglected subject in past scholarship on the ancient world.

Greek and Roman Education: A Sourcebook $44.25 Modern western education finds its origins in the practices, systems and schools of the ancient Greeks and Romans. It is in the field of education, in fact, that classical antiquity has exerted one of its clearest influences on the modern world. Yet the story of Greek and Roman education, extending from the eighth century B.C. into the Middle Ages, is familiar in its details only to relatively few specialists. Containing nearly 300 translated texts and documents, Greek and Roman Education: A Sourcebook is the first book to provide readers with a large, diverse and representative sample of the primary evidence for ancient Greek and Roman education. A special feature of this Sourcebook is the inclusion not only of the fundamental texts for the study of the subject, but also unfamiliar sources that are of great interest but are not easily accessible, including inscriptions on stone and Greek papyri from Egypt. Introductions to each chapter and to each selection provide the guidance which readers need to set the historical periods, themes and topics into meaningful contexts. Fully illustrated and including extensive suggestions for further reading, together with an index of passages explored, students will have no further need for any other sourcebook on Greek and Roman education.
