Erotic Murals of Pompeii’s Brothel Showcase Sex Lives of Ancient Romans

volcanoPompeii is well known for being one of several ancient Roman metropolises preserved by the eruption of Vesuvius, a catastrophic volcano in the year 79. What it’s less famous for is its history as a highly sexual culture. The buried city is literally covered with carvings of phalluses—including a bronze chandelier that depicts a flying dick and a mural of Mercury with a massive erection!

And now, new images of an excavated brothel are giving even more clues about the randy shenanigans of the naughty Pompeiians. Historians think the sex acts depicted on the walls of the brothel called “Lupanar of Pompeii” were advertisements to potential clients. They include images of same-sex and opposite-sex couples, since the prostitutes were both men and women. The brothel, which was five stories high and equipped with a balcony where sex workers called down to potential customers in the street, is the only one known in the city. If you can’t get to Pompeii to see the remains of Lupanar in person, tune in to CBC’s The Nature of Things to take a tour through the notorious brothel.

Study Reveals Ideal Number of Previous Sexual Partners For Men and Women

sexy-librarianIf you’ve ever wondered what the optimal “golden number” is for notches on your bedpost, a new study has the answer. Published in the Journal of Sex Research, the study asked participants to rank a potential sexual partner’s attractiveness based on how many sexual partners they had in the past. And according to the survey of 188 heterosexual participants on Facebook, the number’s a lot lower than you may think.

For one-night stands, the optimal number was between 2 to 6, with women slightly more forgiving towards men’s previous flings. But when it came to long-term relationships, both sexes were reluctant to get involved with someone with more than around 2 to 3 previous sexual partners. As one researcher of the study noted, “contrary to the idea that male promiscuity is tolerated but female promiscuity is not, both sexes expressed equal reluctance to get involved with someone with an overly extensive sexual history.” While we’re all about equality of the sexes, we have this to say to both men and women: lighten up; it’s only a number.

Ecosexuals Believe Having Sex With the Earth Could Actually Save It 

EcosexualYou’ve heard of a tree hugger, but have you heard of a tree fucker? Tree fucking isn’t that far-fetched since a new movement’s gained traction amongst many who consider themselves extreme environmentalists. They call themselves “ecosexuals” and they believe that by literally having sex with the earth, they can combat climate change.

In a piece on ecosexuality in Vice, a professor studying the movement describes it this way: “On one end, it encompasses people who try to use sustainable sex products, or who enjoy skinny-dipping and naked hiking. On the other are ‘people who roll around in the dirt having an orgasm covered in potting soil.’ There are people who fuck trees, or masturbate under a waterfall,” she said. The movement’s growing prominence can be attributed to Bay Area performance artists Annie Sprinkle and Elizabeth Stephens, who published an “ecosex manifesto,” made several films and documentaries about the “pollen-amorous” lifestyle, and even officiate weddings in which fellow ecosexuals marry the earth, the moon, and other natural entities. Lately, they’ve been pushing to add an “E” to the end of LGBTQI acronym in an attempt to re-conceptualize the way we look at the earth, from seeing the planet as a mother to seeing it as a lover. Well, we guess that’s one way to love the earth.

New iPhone Device Lets You Send a Kiss Long Distance 

24503004315_94fb07d7e3_zThe new iPhone just got a lot more stimulating with the Messages’ Digital Touch tool, “Kissenger.” Kissenger lets you send a virtual kiss to your lover with sensations from the device’s Taptic Engine. This means that with the Kissenger iPhone attachment, you can literally share a kiss with another—even if you’re thousands of miles apart!

All you have to do is press your lips to a silicon pad attached to the bottom of your iPhone and your partner can actually feel the sensation on their own case. As Daily Dot explains, “When you kiss the pad, which is outfitted with force sensors, the device’s app logs the sensation, transmits it to your partner’s device, and then recreates it. They can put it to their cheek, lips, or wherever to feel your kiss.” While it’s perhaps the most PG advancement in the exciting field of teledildonics—and there’s definitely a need to adapt the technology to, ahem, other areas where long distance lovers would want to feel contact—the device is a sweet way to simulate a kiss with someone you’re missing. And with the video chat feature, couples can literally make out—though they’d need to keep their eyes open.

Looking for some virtual stimulation yourself? Come bridge that long distance gap with us!

The Genderless Nipples Instagram Proves That All Nipples Are Created Equal 

freethenipA new Instagram account specializing in genderless nipples proves that a nipple is a nipple is a nipple. The account has been collecting various nip pics in extreme close-ups to show that out of context, no one can tell if a nipple belongs to a man or a woman. This point seems important during an era where the “Free the Nipple” movement is gaining so much traction.

While the account is generally about freeing the nip, it seems particularly geared toward Instagram’s nudity policy, which allows male nipples but gets bent out of shape over female ones. As Slate says, “With this account, the proof is in the pudding, or rather, the nipples: It is indeed impossible to tell what gender the people these nipples are attached to identify with and therefore also impossible to determine which ones you are supposed to consider sexy and get turned on by.” It also set a clever nipple trap that Instagram fell right into, again proving its point: after one week, the platform disabled the account due to a post that violated its community guidelines. The post was of a man’s nipple.
