Roman eroticsim

Ummmm, a lot actually. Lots of sculptures have lost their 'bits' in the interest of 'decency'.

The quantity of bas-relief carvings on the wall of the temples in Egypt depicting all kinds of interesting positions and activities were astonishing and quite refreshing to behold.

Make no mistake, the Romans and Greeks, the Etruscans, the Egyptians, were all into eroticism, as were the Chinese, the early Indus settlers... shall i go on?!

Prudery in art is a new thing. And I blame the Christians. Miserable bastards.
