Since the beginning of civilization, humans have incorporated sexuality into erotic art, worship, and daily life.

From Rome to India to the Americas, erotic art has always existed throughout the ancient world, proving that people have always loved sex.

I have always wondered why people over idolize and act like the older generation were saints.

Let’s face it, if all the women of old married as virgins and the burden of chastity was never a man thing. Who were the men fcking? Did these women later go on to marry?

Since 1802, we have heard stories of kids who went back to trace their fathers. That means single motherhood didn’t start today. Women have been giving birth outside wedlock and some went on to marry a different man. These men were not SIMPS, they were our fathers and uncles. The older generation that are hailed for knowing how to put women in place.

There is this woman in my village that died last year. She has always been old since I knew her as a kid, so I thought her husband died before her. It was until her death that I decided to ask my mum when her HUSBAND passed away. My mum told me she was my grandfather's side chick. I was like ahnahn, why didn’t she live in the family house. She said he never married her. However, he acknowledged they shared a thing and took care of all his kids. Mind you, the house she lived in was built by my grandpa, so no be today side-chicks start to cash-out. I would never have guessed, though I remember my dad used to go give her things. I thought my dad was such a philanthropist, I didn’t know he was taking care of his “step-mother”. Can you imagine!

Some of the VIRTUOUS women in your lives are concubines (they called it concubine, we now use sidechick). You think they are widows and your father and mother do not tell you the story so that you don’t see them differently.

Some of your uncles are products of away matches, but since the woman was a widow, they allowed her to bring the child home and he took on the family name of her late husband to preserve the lineage!

Some of your uncles SNATCHED people’s wives. It was even a show of strength.

Some of your aunties SNATCHED husbands. The first wife left the picture, so you never got to know they overtook someone.

We can only say this generation are worse and do theirs without any care, but there is nothing new under the sun!

Go close to your parents and ask questions, you would gain immense knowledge of your ancestry and hear shocking stories. Is it this one that young boys of this generation would be running mouth “Yenyenyen. SHE WOULD GO BACK TO HER FATHER’S HOUSE”. Some of your aunties kpara nnukwu ike and they went nowhere.

Ever since I started doing daily amebo with my parents, I done hear things. Toor!

Parked..... Some Jmac in me rn wil do a whole lota good
¤kabiru kindly pass me that chair

All I see is doggy styles the dirty dirty way!
People don like doggy no be today ? If our ancestors can like doggy so who am I not like it

Yup. Sex is natural and as old as man, but it is the misogynists for me that will come here to be forming ''respect, man'' and sensible history lovers and passionate erotic art enthusiasts but shame women and espouse morality for them.

In your brains, how do you appreciate a thread like this and still expect women to be 'clean and untainted and virtuous virgins' and call them all manner of names relating to their sexual activities?

How are the women and depictions in those images above different from NOW?

Hypocrites and 'civil eye-servicers.'

Amazing...! Sex dates back to the days of Adam and Eve. God had made it so, for procreation

Only civilisation is advancing. Human nature never changes. Civilisation had brought changes to human living. The day i watched a video clip of Lagosians in the 1940s, I was amazed. People were going about their business without stress. No hurry-hurry way of life. They spoke yoruba with ease. I heard someone say, o digba ( meaning o dabo or goodbye). In another video I saw the young Prof soyinka walking to the court flanked by a police officer and he was uncuffed.

What we see nowadays is different. You see passengers running after buses in Lagos instead of the reverse being the case.

I have always maintained that this sex thing did not start today, it is as if sex is on everybody's lips today compared to previous generation because social media makes it go viral and more population of people compared to previous years.
All that is happening now were witnessed when I was in primary school, especially if you live in face me I face you compounds, and it's no different to what is obtained now.
Humans wey go spoil go spoil, and besides its a natural phenomenon to keep the human race going. Reason why even the most religious fall for it. No be today mhen......
