Ancient Greeks
During the Ancient Greek period, the word blowjob was used to describe the act of ejaculating into someone’s mouth. It was considered a form of opprobrium, and could carry a death penalty.
The Greeks, in addition to mocking the act of sexual penetration, also found it a great way to mock the man who enjoyed the act. They called such men batalos or kinaidos.
The word blowjob was first mentioned in the Osiris myth, around the 24th century BCE. In the story, Osiris was murdered by his brother Set. Isis, the wife of the Egyptian god, made a clay penis for Osiris to resurrect him. When Osiris’ wife tried to find the penis, it was impossible.
In Greece and Rome, the act of giving a blowjob was considered a form of opprobrium, but it was also a form of punishment. The act was considered to be even worse than the act of anal sex.
Anal sex was considered a mortal sin in the 19th century. It was only permitted between a mature man and a boy. It was also considered a form of contraception, and was considered taboo when performed on a woman.
The act of giving a blowjob was seen as a waste of seed, and was considered even worse than anal sex. It was considered a form of ejaculating into someone’s face.
The act of giving a blowjob, or “playing the flute,” was also practiced by Greek and Roman men. In Pompeii, the practice was a common occurrence between straight men. In the original Sanskrit version of the Kama Sutra, the entire chapter is devoted to oral sex.
The act of giving a blowjob is also mentioned in Ancient Greek literature. Aristophanes’ character Ariphrades created the cunnilingus, or “sleeping in Phoenicia.” It is believed that cunnilingus was made from the deep red dye produced in Phoenicia.
It was also believed that a man who enjoyed the act of ejaculating into another man’s mouth was weak, and that it could weaken the man’s life force. Performing oral sex on a woman was considered humiliating, and could lead to punishment.
Romans
Performing a blowjob is not a new idea. It was an ancient Roman concept. The earliest record of it is found in the Osiris myth. It was described as a ritual used to reassemble the dead king, Osiris. The act was performed with a clay penis, and consisted of moving the lips around the cock.
In ancient Rome, the act of giving a blowjob was considered to be taboo. It was also a pretext for public execution. A blowjob was considered to be a homosexual act. In the Roman hierarchy of sexual debasement, it was considered to be more defiling than anal sex.
The act of giving a blowjob was also considered to be an indicator of witches. If a woman gave one while drunk, she would have to be executed.
Ancient Greeks also used the phrase “blowjob” to describe the act. They also used it to describe other activities such as playing the flute. The same was true of the ancient Romans. In fact, oral sex was a popular pastime in Pompeii. Several images of the act have been found in erotic paintings and bathhouses.
The ancient Romans believed that the mouth was a vital organ in communication. As such, they took precautions to keep it clean. They brushed their teeth every morning and used lozenges to deal with bad breath. They also had special tools for flossing their teeth.
In the Roman hierarchy of sexual debasement, the act of giving a blowjob came in a close second to the act of cunnilingus, a deepthroat face fucking that is considered to be the most interesting and degrading. It was also thought that a man who performed the act was less manly than a woman.
The act of giving a blowjob also came in a close second to the act performed by Isis, who reassembled the dead king, Osiris. She placed a clay penis in Osiris’ crotch.
The ancient Romans also invented a number of other sex-related devices, such as the sophrosune, which was a sex-related ritual that was part of their cult of the penis. They also believed that a man’s mouth was his most important organ. This was a very serious concern, because they believed that an unclean mouth affected the community.
