This comparison has been living in my brain for months:
A humorous Roman tombstone from the 1st-2nd century CE:
Translated, the text reads:
Calidius Eroticus made this for himself and Fannia Voluptas while still alive. –Innkeeper! Let’s work out the bill! – You’ve had a sextarius of wine, and bread for one as. Stew, two asses. – Okay. – The girl, eight asses. – That’s okay too. – Hay for the mule, two asses. – The damn mule will bankrupt me!
anyway, I love adult content. I love erotic art having a space to exist online. I love seeing people making connections over creativity and shared hog cranking. I don’t love everything everyone is cranking their hogs too but it’s also none of my god damn business. fuck the evangelical rise of censorship. fuck ruining people’s livelihoods.
