This has been the case since rome, bottoming was scorned, nero fucked a man in front of a massive crowd of people it was only controversial when afterward he bottomed the man, in a women’s get up :theory-gary: nothing is new under the sun.

similarly the vestal virgins were praised because they never had sex, and sexually harassing them or threatening to have sex with them would mean your execution as they were politically powerful as a result. they could basically choose a nuclear option with any guy that fucks with them and it made the senate even scared of them :very-smart:

if they had sex with men theyd also be killed so uh

rome was really wild about penetration. oh fun fact it was fine to be a lesbian vestal virgin cause yeah romans are weird. its also where catholics get their weird virgin mary shit from probably

Big true its all about men in Rome, the cult with women virgins that could also legally free any slave they touched and condem any man that look at her with lust to death including senators. They had other powers where they could intervene in tribunals and shit but im at work and too lazy to google shit.

With Rome sex with women on women essencialy was never recorded well because the logic was if a man wasn’t present in sex it wasn’t sex. So in the Roman mind a room with two women fucking each other is just an empty room. :pain: anyhow cant belive I wasted my time studying Rome in college.

yeah i looked into all the executions for vestal virgins once and not once did they state it was for messing with other vestals or masturbation or anything like that. they considered them ‘daughters of the state’ so having sex with any man (generally only an alarm when someone becomes pregnant) was considered incest and worthy of execution. wild shit. and since they were ‘the state’, they could free slaves. and generally if something super bad happened in rome theyd come under scrutiny and investigation because if a vestal virgin became unchaste it would invite calamity.

Thankfully Western Civ education is dying on the vine. In 20 years high school graduates won’t know who Caesar was.

I mean medics are trained to use their thermometers the fun way if they’re forced to use them in the field for a more quicker and accurate body temp.

They call 'em “The Silver Bullet”

You need to formalize it so you can have a standard test

yeah if you don’t want to break a glass thermometer and get mercury in a soldier’s ass and blood.

which, I think that would be funny but the people running the military probably prefer to avoid such casualties, unlike civilian ones.

I understand that when bored they, like Nausicaans, have a habit of throwing knives like darts into eachother’s torsos in a game not unlike playing catch.
