>The woman is not always sighing with sham passion, when she joins her body to the man's and holds him in a close embrace, sucking his lips and moistening them with kisses. Ollen she is sincere and in search of mutual joys spurs him on to run the race of love to the goal. The same applies to female birds and beasts, cows, ewes, and mares: they could not submit to the male, were it not that their own exuberant nature is in heat 1200 and aflame with desire and gladly draws in the penis of the mounting male. -Lucretius - Book IV

>For the girl had not a particle of modesty, nor did any man ever see her embarrassed, but she undertook shameless services without the least hesitation, and she was the sort of a person who, for instance, when being flogged or beaten over the head, would crack a joke over it and burst into a loud laugh; and she would undress and exhibit to any who chanced along both her front and her rear naked, parts which rightly should be unseen by men and hidden from them.

What a roastie!

>Now for a time Theodora, being immature, was quite unable to sleep with a man or to have a woman's kind of intercourse with one, yet she did engage in intercourse of a masculine type of lewdness with the wretches, slaves though they were, who, following their masters to the theatre, incidentally took advantage of the opportunity afforded them to carry on this monstrous business, and she spent much time in the brothel in this unnatural traffic of the body.
>masculine type of lewdness
Is this like the Greeks with the boys they would take on?

Speaking of which, Lucretius again

>For, as a general rule, all fall toward their wound: out gushes the blood in the direction from which the blow has been dealt, and, if the assailant is at close quarters, he is stained by the crimson jet. The same is true of the man who is wounded by the darts of Venus: whether they are launched by a boy with effeminate limbs or by a woman whose whole body radiates love, he moves toward the source of the blow, yearning to copulate and ejaculate the accumulated fluid from body to body; for his speechless desire augurs the pleasure to come.
> launched by a boy with effeminate limbs
