Were the Romans right about sexuality? Is the modern interpretation of sexuality a social construct created from homophobia caused by Christianity?
Should sexuality itself be re-assessed?

Basically everything in this image is wrong. The Romans thought eating pussy was kind of a weird kink but it wasn't considered effeminate or anything. It was the kind of thing you might make fun of your friend for liking.
Also forcing another dude to suck your dick was considered a heinous profanity. It wasn't considered manly. It was something only vile perverts would do.
Half of this is totally misconstrued and the other half is totally made up.

That image is laughably inaccurate

Any post of this type with an image of a statue is wrong.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexuality_in_ancient_Rome#Cunnilingus_and_fellatio
>A wall painting from Pompeii, however, represents a virtually unique role reversal in the giving of oral sex. The woman who receives cunnilingus is tall and shapely, well-groomed, and brazenly nude except for jewelry. The male figure is relatively small, crouching subserviently, and fully clothed; he has an anxious or furtive look.[628] The situation is so extreme that it was probably meant to be humorous as well as titillating; other paintings in this group show a series of sex acts, at least some of which could be seen as transgressive or parodic.[629]
>One graffito is perhaps intended as political invective: "Vote Isidore for aedile; he's the best at licking cunt!"[631]

>Irrumatio is a forced form of fellatio, almost always against another man. Forcing someone to be a receptacle for oral sex was proof of virility, something to boast about, as indicated by the Priapeia and the poems of Catullus and Martial. It was also threatened as a punishment,[636] particularly for adulterers.[286] Martial urges a wronged husband who has already cut off the adulterous man's ears and nose to complete the humiliation by befouling his mouth with oral rape.[637][286]

The ancient Greeks were pretty much right about everything. Homosex and boy loving built civilization, while Christianity destroyed it.

Source?

I was under the impression that Romans inherited the Greek distaste for anal sex, and preferred oral and intercrural sex with boys. Is that not true?
>>2928003
Yes. Most premodern people preferred intercrural, probably for hygiene concerns.
>>2925043
All INTERPRETATIONS of sexuality are a social construct.
>>2928007
More likely to protect the assholes of the receivers. Greeks and Romans liked 12-18 year old boys, who would have been comparable in physical development to modern 8-14 year olds. While you certainly could have anal sex with a child that age without lasting damage, the body does have a tendency to adapt to chronic conditions, especially at such a young age. It wouldn't do for all adult men to be walking around with sagging assholes and poor sphincter control. Ergo, penetration taboo.
Well where are the Romans now?
