One of the things that has really struck me over the years is that humanity has never changed. You find common needs and actions of humans the same since 'adam' to now. What has changed is social context, technology, etc.
I just find it hard to believe that sexuality, being an inherited need of humanity, to have changed. A percentage will always be pedophiles, incetsous, gay, bi, whatever. The majority are just man, woman, family. My comment above sounded a little smug ( it was late and I worked all day lol ) about the literatii. I think you find today that the homosexual population are generally richer, more educated, more cultured than the average truck driver. So, truck drivers ( which I was for a number of years ) arent writing literature or climbing the social ladder. I often referred to myself as a college educated truck driver but Im now using my degree and teaching special education.
To each his own. Break out the wine !!!!!! :twisted:
im married too 8) , lol, and god i love that my wife has the right idea about life!!!!! again i say break out the wine and bring us fine women!!!!
yes i think society should stop pretending to these needless puritan values, oh bother, i mean really...its the 21st century, sex is no secret and its on everyones mind/agenda anyway. alot of intelligent things have been said in this thread and more conservative views than id have expected from so many "romans" however as indicated there were in fact a good many years of moderacy in rome. i would like to repaint a room in my home in pompeiian tribute, infact our next trip to italy will be focusing on pompeii and herculenium so i will have ample opportunity to study them.
