This is a cultural history episode about sexuality in Ancient Rome. I
thought the topic would be fun and juicy, but that’s because my memory of
Roman sexuality was hazy. After refreshing it with lots of research, I can
safely say that ‘fun’ is not a word I would apply to it. ‘Insanely
disturbing’ is probably more fitting. Most of the ancient sources, in fact,
seem to indicate that little to no attention was paid to the idea of sex
being for mutual pleasure.
