[edit] Move to move :>

I move to move the article under Sexuality in Ancient Rome, as it looks like that's the standard name for history and gender courses offered in the articles cited. Project2501a 19:46, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

  • Support. --LambiamTalk 20:02, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment: this process isn't really necessary. Just wait until the AfD is closed (which, since I just withdrew my nomination, it probably will be quickly) and then just move the article. Because it's Wikipedia convention, there's no real reason to vote on it. - CheNuevara 22:16, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Support, but we wanted to wait until the AFD is over before we do anything. User:Zscout370 (Return Fire) 22:36, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Expansion

Beyond the penetration dichotomy of ancient roman sexuality, I'd like to see the article expanded to explore the Ancient Roman's evolving views of sexuality, its basis and justifications, and perhaps discuss additionally, meretrix, and prostibulae. Ember 2199 23:12, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, this could clearly be expanded, I think for instance Romans lacked the concept of sex as sin, as it was a pre-christian religion. (Cf. erotic art in Pompeii and Herculaneum. Also, oral sex allegedly was considered more dirty than anal sex, since the mouth was defiled. Many things like that could be covered. 惑乱 分からん 00:00, 7 September 2006 (UTC)


I heard Roman men had sex with young boys and this was commonplace? Even with marriage? I am very curious about this. Osirisx11 13:05, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

There's already an article about pederasty, but that mainly seemed to be a Greek thing. 惑乱 分からん 17:22, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

There's Homosexuality in Ancient Rome, which should really be connected better. --Kizor 19:22, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

Why not merge them? - CheNuevara 19:41, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
I guess that makes sense, since the article is quite homonormative already as it is... =S 惑乱 分からん 23:08, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
