^ I'm not talking about the man himself, i mean the movie. It is probably the most accurate depiction of life in pre-christian ancient Rome. Keep in mind this was a time period when many workers and slaves would be completely naked, the poor and beggars would be naked or almost naked, people would urinate and defecate in public...people would be selling phallic images in the street, homosexual orgies were social events etc... The unedited version is probably one the most sexually explicit move ever created. Assuming that that is all 100% true, it can't be assumed that every society that also used imagery that was intentionally or unintentionally phallic was also as promiscuous as these societies.Its my opinion that over-sexuality is a by-product of urban life and will occur in every society without an outside force (like Christianity or Islam suppressing it). Did you watch the video i posted in the "Jew" thread? If such deviant sexual behaviors as sex with babies was condoned by the "conservative" Talmud i think its safe to say it was pretty much endemic in the ancient world. So. . .basically the Romans were chock full of STDs?They didn't have nearly as many as we do now, and if they did get STD's they probably thought it was something else. Syphillis is said to have originated in the Inca empire where farmers often had intercourse with llamas, it came to Europe via the trade ships. But there is another theory that says the disease has always been in the old world but was passed off as leprosy, (early forms of syphilis had the same effects on the skin). However, ancient STD's often killed their victims too quickly to become endemic. I think medival syphillis killed its victims in weeks Fun fact: Many Ancient eygptian mummies were found with Crocodile Dung in their vagainas as a primitive contraceptive. |
like i said 5 mins ago... w/e kid my point still stands. |
