@ElvenAngel Not that you care, but God has an opinion on this. See the videos on my channel about Sodom and Gomorrah. Quite interesting.

[ArchChinook]

There was a reason the city has been drowned in lava...

Pompeii wasn't different from any other Roman city.

I think it's rather hilarious that today we sort of freak out and get embarrassed when we realize that sex and sexuality hasn't changed all that much over the centuries...no matter how hard some have tried. Truth be told, in almost every era of history you'll find that humans have always been the same horny, raunchy and sex-loving idiots we are today. And we just get all worked up instead of sitting back and just enjoying the fact that we've got a culture out of it...

@VansenandWellsCo lol. they portray it like that, because there's this general consensus that people back in the day weren't racy or sexually charged. oh they were lol

[VansenandWellsCo]

Lol! I don't understand the point of this series at all.

They try to display the ancient erotica as disturbing and depraved.

"Seething world of sex and squalor"?

Guy, walk through the right street of any big city today and you'll find a lot of the same goings ons. Red light districts? Brothels? Prostitutes male and female? S&M clubs? Every city has them.
