What are /lit/'s preferred books on ancient sexual practices?
Mainly Egyptian, Greek and Roman cultures

Pretty sure it was mostly just standard PiV.

Michel Foucault has a lot to say about Ancient Greece's culture around sex. I know that he speaks about it specifically in some of his later interviews, and if I'm remember correctly he touches on it a bit in the History of Sexuality.

Think OP meant more than just standard positions and the like. Greeks are known to have practiced forms of pederasty and egyptians were heavy on the incest. Don't know of any good books on the subject tho...
>>
>>7512656
pretty much everyone practiced pederasty at some point in time
it's still practiced in the Middle East/ Afghanistan
>>

Thats true, but pederasty was heavily rooted into ancient Greek culture. Especially homosexual pederasty. It was a real and important part of their social life and even depicted in certain myths involving Zeus and the like
>>
I don't know of any single synthetic book. There's a shitton of academic papers treating aspects of it though. Just remember to avoid any paper from American and British researchers. It's bound to be contaminated by modern SJW nonsense.
>>
thnx. know of any good databases for it?

i modi (the poems are a later addition, but the positions are from roman style)

the satyricon (gossip of who's fucking who and how from the roman empire)

the priapeia (poems to the god of why won't my boner go away)

catullus, early horace, martial, and some of cicero's letters are also good for linguistic patterns of vulgarity. (cicero is especially good for pointing out puns to be avoided in good company in his orator and letters to friends/family)

For Greeks, start with Lysistrata. Galen and Hippocrates have different views on women, so check one against the other (especially regarding hysteria and conception). Lucian has epic sex jokes (especially with Dead philosophers, Sale of philosophers) Anything about Corinth as well, really.
