Ancient Peruvian Sex Pottery
Warning: ancient dongs ahead
As we've covered before, ancient peoples displayed some pretty bizarre expressions of sexuality. The Incas and Moche created incredibly intricate clay vessels that could tell entire stories; stories like "Once upon a time, this lady had sex with Death himself."
Peru's Museo Larco has an "Erotic Gallery" stocked with this pervy pottery. We're talking couples in wide-eyed coitus, humongous genitalia, and a host of skeletons rattling their own bones.
It's easy to read tales of virility and patriarchy into these pieces, but scholars think there was a more basic reason: it's always been funny as hell to make your friends drink out of a penis-shaped cup.
