S€x Facts From The Ancient World

S€x Facts From The Ancient World

The ancient pre-Islamic Arabs were into a strange custom known as wife lending. This custom was not merely for gaining political or economic leverage—it served as an early form of eugenics. It was practiced mostly by families of low rank who wanted more prestigious offspring to ennoble their line. But husbands didn’t lend their wives to just anyone. Only men of distinction who possessed desirable attributes were allowed to have sex with another man’s wife. The goal: to impregnate her. Children born out of this custom were considered the children of the husband, not the biological father.Lending one’s wife was pretty straightforward: The husband would simply send her to the home of the chosen man, where she would stay until she got pregnant, whether it took days or months. However, in order for the husband to claim that the child born from the union was his, he must abstain from sex during the time his wife lived with the other man. If the husband was able to contain himself during that time, the child was considered his in the eyes of the community.

The writer Herodotus had a lot to say about the Assyrians, and one thing he focused on was their prostitution rituals. While there isn’t any evidence to back up his claims, he wrote that, in ancient Assyria, it was not only legal but mandatory for all unmarried women to prostitute themselves. The Assyrians were very devoted to the Cult of Aphrodite, or Mylitta (Ishtar), as the Assyrians called her. They believed that in order for a woman to receive her grace, she must have sex with a stranger in Aphrodite’s temple. Every woman in the Assyrian empire, from the highest member of society down to the lowest, had to present herself at least once in her lifetime to the temple of Aphrodite for this sacred rite.A woman taking part had to wear a crown of cords on her head to distinguish herself from other women who were not participating. She then sat on the temple steps—or on the sacred plot of Aphrodite—to await the attention of customers. The women had to accept the first man who came along. This ancient religious practice drew in a considerable crowd of interested men. Once a man found a woman he liked, he would toss money onto her lap and say, “I demand thee in the name of Mylitta.” After they performed the ritual intercourse, the woman was deemed holy in the eyes of the goddess and could no longer be forced or bribed for sex. The Greek historian Herodotus noticed the drawback of this ritual, remarking that the tall and fair women got to go home first, but the ugly ones usually had to stay behind much longer, sometimes for years.

Romans were strongly against fellatio, seeing it as a vice worse than anal sex. There was even a widespread belief among the Romans that fellators (the ones giving) had bad breath. Roman society’s loathing for fellators was so high that most Romans would not even dare have a known fellator as a dinner guest. This practice of shunning known fellators might have been aggravated by the fact that the Roman form of social greeting, or salute, was a kiss on the lips. But while giving received a bad rap, the Romans had no problem with the one receiving it. In fact, Romans were known to have their slaves or prostitutes give them fellatio.

Homosexuality, in today’s society, is largely defined as the sexual attraction toward the same sex. The ancient Greeks and Romans, however, did not share this concept. In fact, our idea of same-sex sexual behavior is so different from theirs that there is no direct Latin or ancient Greek word for “homosexual.” Some people may argue that “arsenokoites” is Greek for “gay,” but most scholars agree that the word was first recorded in the Bible, and it’s unlikely that it was used to designate homosexuality in the modern sense.Back then, gay sex raised no eyebrows as long as it did not stray from their cultural views on masculinity. Due to this concept, a masculine man must always take the dominant role when it comes to sex. It was all right to have gay relationships as long as there was no penetration involved or you were the one doing the penetrating. However, this liberality toward gay sex did not extend to the passive partner. To be the bottom guy was something abominable in the eyes of whites ancient forebears, for it meant that he had surrendered control and was taking on a feminine role. Back then, calling someone gay was not considered derogatory, but to call someone a bottom (“cinaedus” or “exoletus“) was one of the worst insults a man could give.

The practice of having sex with animals is as ancient as it gets. A carving on a bone rod dated to be 25,000 years old shows a lioness licking the opening of either a huge penis or a vagina. Another early depiction of bestiality was a picture of a man having sex with a donkey found on a cave painting in Italy from the seventh century B.C. Bestiality in ancient times was common enough that even the Bible had to mention it specifically, promising death for those who were caught.The ancient Romans brought bestiality to an art form. Roman women were known to have kept snakes for sexual purposes. Bestiality was even a center of attraction at the Coliseum and the Circus Maximus, where men and women were brought in to be raped by animals. Unlike the ancient Romans, however, who practiced bestiality for pleasure or entertainment, the ancient Greeks were into bestiality for religious reasons, turning it into a central rite during the Bacchanalia and part of the ceremony at the Temple of Aphrodite Parne.

NOW I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION

Please keep this idea in mind as we go:

“Without a theory facts are a mob, and not an army.”

W. F. Barrett – physicist

Jacob Carruthers gave the following summary Dr. Diop’s thesis:

“The theory in brief is that the severe climate and environment of Europe and Asia caused biological and cultural changes in the original human type resulting in the loss of pigmentation biologically and the development of an individualistic, xenophobic, aggressive, nomadic culture among the white isolates, in contrast to the cooperative, xenophillic, peaceful, sedentary culture among the blacks who still inhabited the more benign climatic and environmental zones.

Not only did nature fashion the instincts, habits and ethical concepts of the two subdivisions before they met after a long separation, Dr Diop’s Theory also claims that these early molds had permanent effects on the two civilizations which have endured until the present time.”

Now what is this THEORY?

Southern Cradle-Egyptian Model

Abundance of vital resources.

Sedentary-agricultural.

Gentle, idealistic, peaceful nature with a spirit of justice.

Matriarchal family.

Emancipation of women in domestic life.

Territorial state.

 Xenophilia.

Cosmopolitanism.

Social collectivism.

Material solidarity of right for individual which makes moral or material misery unknown.

Idea of peace, justice, goodness and optimism.

Literature emphasizes novel tales, fables and comedy.

Northern Cradle-Greek Model

Bareness of resources.

Nomadic-hunting (piracy)

Ferocious, warlike nature with spirit of survival.

Patriarchal family.

Debasement / enslavement of women.

City state (fort)

Xenophobia.

Parochialism.

Individualism.

Moral solitude.

Disgust for existence, pessimism.

Literature favors tragedy.

End of THEORY moving on

“Why were the Nubians and Egyptians already civilized while the rest of the world, especially all Europe, was plunged in barbarism? That is a fact which has been observed, not the fruit of imagination. Nor is it a miraculous, inexplicable fact. Accordingly, the historian need not be astonished by it; his role ought to be that of seeking out and presenting plausible explanations for such phenomena.”

“The same question could be asked about the Greeks as compared with the rest of Europe. After their early contact with the world to the south and the cultural exchanges with Egypt and Crete, they escaped from barbarism in the twelfth century and became civilized between the twelfth and fifth centuries B.C. With the Etruscans, they remained the only civilized people in all Europe. The other European peoples, farther away from the southern cultural centers, remained steeped in barbarism until the Middle Ages, with the exception of the Latins, who also became civilized by contact with the Etruscans and Greeks.”

“Obviously, instead of regarding Greek civilization as an unusual and more or less miraculous phenomenon, we can easily explain it by placing it in historical and geographical context. A similar explanation can also be given for Egypto-Nubian civilization.”

Now let's see how this plays out

We have to be made dumb to exist in this situation! we have been robbed of our common sense, our intellectual capacity, our culture, creativity and sense of reality. Having been taught to be dumb, Africans will experience a consciousness, an intellectual expansion, a clarity of vision, a spiritual harmony and an increase in intelligence, when we summon the courage to regain and reclaim our African identity, consciousness, culture & time - Dr. Amos Wilson

LETS EXAMINE THIS ENVIRONMENTAL PERDISPOSITION

Agoge, was something Spartan boys engaged in which was a part of the Spartan training to become men. A companion system was called the Krypteia. Its goal and nature are still a matter of discussion and debate among historians, but some whites consider the crypteia to be a kind of secret police and state security force organized by the ruling classes of Sparta whose purpose was to terrorize the servile helot population but more on that in a second. We Africans should understand this very well because it's done to us. The boys left home very young and had to fend for themselves in the countryside alongside the Helot population. The helots class outnumbered the Spartiates(Full blooded Spartans) and did most of the farming for the people that subjugated them. The Krypteia was a declaration of war against the Helots. Just like calling us Black, Nigger, you know the thinking. once a year when young boys were out training in the Agoge they would go out with daggers, a cloak, and no supplies and be given free reign to kill yes kill any helots they found, taking their food, clothing etc.The white like saying we were in constant warfare in Africa which is juts a projection of its own story. The Agoge taught they should kill, steal and cheat when necessary it feed off of their natural barbarism that the environment demanded for its survival. And just like us it keeps the helots terrified that they could be killed at any moment. Now the she cave women the mother of the devil were trained just as men were, they had public education and physical training but women's most important job in Sparta was to bear sons that were as tough as they were. They engaged in athletics like men did. remember the men were on campaign for long periods so the women had to be self-reliant; they were responsible for managing farms..

The women were married in mock or real abductions, depending on who is telling the story. The husband being away created a custom to fight against annihilation that in his place he would choose a younger man to 'tend' to his wife while he was gone. Under this system the family life was nonexistent from the Southern Cradle-Egyptian Model. Imagine how psychopathic behaviors developed when young women were out training and being educated, and boys left home at age 7. Even when people got older women were taking care of the household and men were out training or fighting in wars.

The men in the army were encouraged to have relationships with other men. Pederasty( Older men/younger men have sex)A boy was considered a "boy" until he was able to grow a full beard. is well know but know some are saying it was not true. The roots of Greek pederasty lie in the tribal past of Greece. These tribal communities were organized according to age groups. When it came time for a boy to embrace the age group of the adult and to "become a man," he would leave the tribe in the company of an older man for a period of time that constituted a rite of passage. This older man would educate the youth in the ways of Greek life and the responsibilities of adulthood.

The rite of passage undergone by Greek youths in the tribal prehistory of Greece evolved into the commonly known form of Greek pederasty after the rise of the city-state or polis. Greek boys no longer left the confines of the community, but rather paired up with older men within the confines of the city. These men, like their earlier counterparts, played an educational and instructive role in the lives of their young companions; likewise, just as in earlier times, they shared a sexual relationship with their boys. Penetrative sex, however, was seen as demeaning for the passive partner, and outside the socially accepted norm. The ancient writer Xenophon actually states that it's a myth that Spartans engaged in widespread, whatever that means. you can go online and see many different views just like on facebook with the I'm not African debate among our people. I've even read that it was a common occurrence for the women to shave their head and kind of dress up like men on their marriage night to look more like men, or that's how modern-day people have interpreted it as to make it easier for the men to engage in sex with the wife. I don't know if that stretching it but I'll go for it.

The point of this is when you go back and study their tribal history and remember many people believe there's a distinct difference between the Mediterranean and the European. Even the Mediterranean in this barbaric stage said the Europeans were nothing more than animals. Ask yourself what history do they have at thin point. they were really living like animals, even in Roman times they called them barbarians and animals. So can you imagine what they were doing..I found many things about sex in Egypt that I did not know, but that's for later.
