7 FACTS ABOUT SEX IN THE ANCIENT WORLD THAT ARE WELL STRANGE
Sex is something that pleases the human being from earliest times, does not it? Part of our society today claims that sexual intercourse has become a banal practice. The act is considered by many as the solution to almost all our problems. And this can be taken as a criticism.
One thing few know is that our ancestors shared some rather bizarre sexual ideas and customs to modern eyes. They used to advocate some practices that are even abominable. Mainly according to some religions.
Thinking a bit more on this subject, I decided to bring a little curiosity about this act of the human being. We highlight 7 facts about sex in the ancient world that will impress you a lot. Believe me, this list contains things that will leave you completely intrigued. Without further ado, follow up with us.
1 - Wife Loan
The ancient pre-Islamic Arabs used to lend their wives to primitive breeding of their genetic lineage. This custom was more common in low-ranking families who wanted to 'ennoble' their lineage. Women were not lent to anyone. Only the men who had the desirable attributes were allowed to have sex with the other's wife. The point was to get her pregnant. Children born of this custom were considered the daughters of the husband and not of the biological father. The rule was simple: the husband would send the woman to the chosen man's house and she would stay there until she became pregnant. The husband would have to practice the act of sexual abstinence in order to have the right to assume the child as his own.
2 - Sex without ejaculation
Taoism believes that semen is where the highest concentration of Yin (essence of life) is found. Therefore, they claimed that man can not lose much of this essence, and therefore sex could only be done if there was no ejaculation. Yet they said that they should have sex, especially with virgins, to produce more Yin.
3 - Oral sex comes from the gods
The oldest record of oral sex is dated along with an ancient myth. This legend is the one of the resurrection of Osiris, where the sister of the same one created a penis of clay and placed next to its quartered body and it breathed, thus bringing the same the life. Due to this myth, oral sex is not seen immoral or wrong by the Egyptians, quite the contrary.
4 - Consoles
A wooden "dildo" was the first sexual solace to be made about 26,000 years ago. The use of these erotic devices was quite common among ancient civilizations. There are reports that Cleopatra was the first person to use a consolation in history. Its accessory was made of hollow wood and with live bees inside. If the wooden toy did not advance, they used to prepare a bread called "olisbokollikes" in penis format.
5 - Homosexual sex
The ancient Roman Greeks did not view homosexuality as a sexual attraction for a person of the same sex. In the ancient age in question, homosexual sex did not shock society as it did today and did not diminish the masculinity of men. For this, the man had to be in position of dominance whenever it practiced some sexual act. The passive partner was abhorred in the eyes of the gods by folding like a woman in the hour of sex.
6 - Compulsory prostitution
Prostitution was not only considered a legal practice but also mandatory for single women. They preached that for the woman to receive the grace of a certain goddess, she should have sex in the temple of Aphrodite. All women, of all classes, were obliged to present themselves at least once in the temple of Aphrodite during his lifetime. They should wear a crown of ropes on their heads to distinguish themselves from the others who were not participating. She would sit on the steps of the temple and await the attention of her clients. When the man found the woman he wanted, he threw the money in his lap and said, "I demand to have her, in the name of Mylitta."
7 - Zoophilia
The practice of sex with animals is something else that comes from ancient times. An ancient excavation, apparently 25,000 years old, shows the bones of a lioness licking a penis. Unlike the Romans who did this sexual act with animals as a form of pleasure, the Greeks practiced for religious purposes.
