@guerrillarain@witches.town @zebratron2084 I watched a documentary about reconstructing Roman daily life from the ruins in Pompeii, and they had a whole bit about "these people put literal porn LITERALLY EVERYWHERE, check out some of this WACKY KINKY PORN." also some of the bathhouse graffiti is *exactly* like what you'd find nowdays: "Andronicus is a slut!" "Down with Agustus!" "Maximillian was here (and got laid)!"
@green @guerrillarain@witches.town Green, I have told you about the Games Of Venus anthology, right? The hyper-modern, hyper-frank collection of ancient Greek and Roman erotic poetry that was lovingly stripped of Victorian and Judeo-Christian bullshit?
(Money quote: "I will give him nine straight fuckulations!" Err, they were REALLY strict about making sure the grammar reflected the originals, even when the original poets were just being silly.)
@zebratron2084 @guerrillarain@witches.town yes you have! ancient Greek poetry slam fights are *wonderful*.
people have always been people, as crude, brilliant, creative, terrible, and amazing as they are now, just with different toolsets. XD
