Wallace48 571 Report post Posted May 6, 2013 Just got back from a trip to view the ruins at Pompeii and found that one of the best buildings to survive was the brothel. It was well marked with a penis carved on the door and sidewalk. And talk about McDonalds! On the wall were a series of well preserved illustrations of services provided. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Old Dog 179138 Report post Posted May 6, 2013 Did you happen to see if they offered GFE back then? :) Of course the did Chuck! Of course in Pompeii, GFE meant GIANT FLAMING ERUPTIONS. Pretty much put a damper on the whole trip to the brothel.... 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tallguy007 4172 Report post Posted May 6, 2013 The romans also had specific coins for use in prostitution, Spintria. Each coin depicted a sexual act. Some speculate that these could have been tokens presented to the lady indicating which act you'd paid for. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spintria (one of the tamer Spintria) 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest S****r Report post Posted May 7, 2013 I visited the ruins many years ago and somehow I either missed that piece of information, or didn't retain the memory. That is pretty interesting. But I was thinking: maybe the Giant Flaming Eruptions referred to a promise of a huge orgasm instead! lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest B**na***oy Report post Posted May 7, 2013 Not surprising, considering we're dealing with the oldest profession. ;-) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
