It was preserved by the eruption of Vesuvius in AD 79.<\/span><\/p>\n The streets of this city like nearby Herculaneum<\/strong> are literally covered with penis sculptures<\/a>, symbols of luck and prosperity. In Pompeii there is a mural of the god Mercury that appears with a large erect penis. New images of a brothel excavated within Pompeii give a new insight into his sexual activities.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Almost 30 brothels. Much of the walls of brothels in Pompeii\u00a0<\/strong> depict sexual acts that archaeologists think were advertisements for their clients. Only the wealthiest citizens of Pompeii could afford to spend their time here. Some of the clients seem to have recorded graffiti commenting on their experiences<\/a>. <\/span>The only known brothel in the city was five stories high and equipped with a balcony from which prostitutes called their customers as they passed by on the street.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n There were male and female prostitutes working in the Pompeii Brothel<\/strong>, and it is thought that each had to register officially and also pay taxes<\/a>. <\/span>Despite the fact that prostitution was legal in Pompeii<\/strong>, most of the women who worked there were slaves.The wall paintings of the brothels of Pompeii show us the sex life of the ancient Romans<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n House of Julia Felix in Pompeii<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Married men<\/strong> were allowed to be with any woman except the wives<\/strong> of other men. Married women were prohibited from having sex with anyone other than their husband.<\/span><\/p>\n The brothel was not a very pleasant place<\/strong> to work. It was very small, cold, wet, and the rooms<\/a> are quite dark and uncomfortable. Most of the murals show classic sexual positions, some not so much. They also present images of anal sex, blow job and sexual threesomes<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n What are the frescoes showing in Pompeii?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Erotic paintings in pompeii erotic in pompeii were located in brothels or lupanares,<\/strong> thermal baths<\/strong>, Taverns, Thermopolium<\/a><\/strong> and private houses<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Vicola de Lupanare. This old brothel is the most visited building in the whole of Pompeii, it was discovered in the 19th century and various restorations have been carried out, until its final reopening in 2006. The characteristics of this building make us think that it was built exclusively as a place of prostitution.<\/span><\/p>\n General view of Vicola de Lupanare – <\/strong><\/span>Erotic Art of Pompeii<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n The lupanar “Vicola del Lupanare”,<\/em> is located in the oldest area of \u200b\u200bthe city is located between the Forum, the market and Via Stabiana. and At the intersection of two secondary streets, very close to where the baths, taverns and inns were located. It is believed that it was built in the year 72, a few years before the eruption<\/a> of Vesuvius.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n It is a two-storey building, L-shaped, and it seeks the maximum rationalization of space. At the main entrance there is a biphalic Priapus<\/a><\/strong> whose purpose would be to scare away evil spirits. At the end of the corridor, behind a wall, was a latrine; place where a wooden staircase starts, towards the first floor.<\/span><\/p>\n The ground floor had two entrances that gave access to the central corridor where five small rooms were opened, along this corridor we can see pornographic frescoes on the lintel of each cell<\/strong>, where different positions and sexual games<\/strong> are seen. The purpose of these pornographic squares<\/strong>, apart from the logical arousal of the client, it has been speculated that it could also indicate the specialty of each prostitute.<\/span><\/p>\n The rooms were quite small, without ventilation and where the bed stands out, attached to the brick wall, on which the mattress and pillow would be placed. These rooms would also have a small table and some type of nightlight, as well as a jug of water for personal hygiene.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0Jean-L\u00e9on G\u00e9r\u00f4me<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n There are also two levels, the ground floor for the poor and the first floor for the rich. Access to these spaces was independent, so that the two types of clients of Pompeii prostitutes<\/strong> did not coincide.<\/span><\/p>\n The upper floor has a large balcony that runs along the entire double fa\u00e7ade, on this floor we find 5 new rooms, a little more spacious than those on the ground floor, and open to the continuous balcony, so they were brighter and better ventilated .
