A Brief Guide to Sex In Ancient Greece
What were sex and sexuality like in Ancient Greece?
Imagine you’re on holiday in modern Greece.
Walking around the Acropolis, through the bustling streets of Athens, and climbing the historic Mount Olympus.
Beauty and grace are everywhere, and the History of this ancient and remarkable culture is around every corner.
The birthplace of modern democracy and home to the greatest thinkers to ever live, Greece is a truly wonderful holiday spot.

Trigger warning: In this article, we discuss the Greek myths, including briefly stories about rape, bestiality, and incest.
There’s A Penis on That Pot
The Greeks certainly weren’t as prudish about showing off the male appendage as some western cultures are today. They believed nudity to be something powerful and beautiful, a notion forgotten along the way by modern civilizations.
Their gods were often displayed with their sexual organs for all to see.
And their pricks were usually depicted as being very small, which is weird, right?
