We requested the age- restriction to be lifted. Other RU-vid experts suggested we blur the images cited by RU-vid and reload- so stay tuned! We feel this is clear and academic and educational - and deserves to be seen by a wider audience.
Thank you Darius. Please go into more detail about Roman psychology on these topics ans background social environment that led to these sets of beliefs. It was all rational to them. Please explain why. Good start!
They sacrificed their children to "gods" they even had "gods" that called for it, this is where Easter comes from "Ishtar" and they would dip eggs in infant blood. . . sick stuff.
I hated myself for clicking on this, but I was pleasantly surprised. Not click bait. I would be keen to learn more of the guidelines and rules governing the intricacies of social "intercourse" as mention at the end. So much of Ancient Rome is unmentionable and unconsidered since Constantine.
What an amezingly good lecture about Roman way to handle sex. Direct, simple, clear and honest. It let me think about the lack of equilibrium in our society: from one side we have the hypocritical prudes who run social media, the religious prudes invading the western culture with their irrational expectations, from the other we have the powerful industry of p*rn, the worrying increase in r*pes & $&*ual crimes. Were the Romans in an Healthier place than us about this matter? It would be dishearting because they lived in times when medicine and hygiene weren't yet effective, so there were serious problems, and still they were more mature than us. Good work, Congratulations!
It would be interesting to learn the details of this huge statue discovery, if there's a story to it. How could something that big only be discovered this year
interesting. But I don’t understand why you blur the satires and the goat. Prudity does not mix well with art or history. Especially if this is a comment on “sex not being an issue in Roman society”
Totally agree with you-- but the RU-vid bots have spoken! (We were subsequently trying with the blurring to get the age restriction lifted, without success!)

Bravo Darius , basta al falso perbenismo moralista (finto) . Nel Antichità non avevano tabù sul Sesso e della Sessualità. Certo anche loro avevano qualche regola. Ma certamente non erano Omofobi..
Our ancients' attitudes towards nudity was very healthy; no twisted confusion back then much at all. My local public pool totally revamped changing rooms and got rid of rooms!-everyone, male or female, must walk through corridors to find an individual stall, all of which don't have a shower… it's even more extremely backwards!! Ditching swimsuits would be good for the environment and lower waste, too.
7:00 Dude I'm getting lesson after lesson here, I've heard of priapism before and knew what it was, but never cared to see where it came from. Interesting.
The more I learn about ancient Rome and Greece the more amazed I am at what was NEVER taught in school. Everything had a religious filter on it and THAT is just wrong. These people were far more advanced as a society than we are and their engineering and art are astonishing. I read that Romans viewed male nudity as the perfection of natures beauty.
In the USA old west mining towns in the 1800s to about1950, prostitution was an essential part of those towns.....No prostitutes, no men, no men.... no mining. Brothels were protected an the local sheriff like any other business. Just as brothels were a part of most shipping ports......Amsterdam.
