Ancient Brothels (Lupanar in Pompeii)

On my quest to find interesting facts about the history of Brothels, I ran into an interesting read on the Brothels of Pompeii. Now, I am in no way a historian but ancient history fascinates me. And Pompeii is a part of Ancient History that I found wildly fascinating.

Not only was the history of Pompeii interesting, but the demise of the town was terribly tragic. A volcano erupted sending a cloud over the town that instantly killed with temperatures reaching at least 480 degrees. And the people that didn’t burn to death were covered in 12 layers of soil and ash. That’s terrible!

And in Christian culture many Theologians believe that Pompeii was the Bibles Sodom and Gomorrah due to the similarities of the demise. But the fundamental difference between Sodom and Gomorrah and Pompeii was that Pompeii was a mainly heterosexual town and Sodom and Gomorrah was a Homosexual town.

But let’s get back to the brothels……

Lupanar is the oldest known brothel in the world and is located in the ruined Roman city of Pompeii. Its name means “Den of the she-wolves”. Most of the prostitutes were “slaves”, or more appropriately, domestic house maids. But what I found most interesting is how the men would carve reviews of the girls on the walls, like our clients do for us at TER and Bogdoggie.

"hic ego puellas multas futui" (here I fucked many girls)

And the prostitutes would respond back with their notes carved in the walls.

"felix bene futuis" (happy man, you fuck well)

I love how all the sex positions that we do now was done thousands of years ago. Noting we do today is new. Who would have thought eating pussy took place that long ago.

Check out this fresco depicting the customer eating the ho's pussy. Oh hell yeah!
