Under the petticoats of Rome: a brief history of sex among the Romans

Let's go on a naughty but serious discovery of the sexual and erotic practices of the ancient Romans. Through random curiosities, we will discover the moral framework in which the Ancients conceived of erotic relationships between beings. In Rome, sex is omnipresent in daily life and has none of this contemporary obscenity that we still persist in attributing to it in the 70st century. Far from the orgies echoed by the erotic cinema of the XNUMXs, Roman eroticism expresses the voluptuousness of the intoxication of the senses without necessarily casting on its manifestations the moral guilt of opprobrium.
