9. There is a great documentary that is available on youtube

....something like "The History of Pornography"? Sorry, don't have time to look for it now. But the gist of it is; when archaeologists unearthed the ruins of Pompeii they were horrified to discover all kinds of "obscene" artwork, paintings, statues, etc. depicting human sexuality, bestiality (famous statue of Pan, half man half goat having intercourse with woman), and other "perversions".

The whole collection was stored away very hush-hush in the British museum and was only available for viewing by certain privileged "gentlemen" whose superior moral code could ensure they would not be corrupted by such images.

It was an interesting juxtaposition between the repressed and horrified English society and the open an unashamed displaying of these images in an ancient society. I didn't watch the whole thing, but I would like to get back to it; it was fascinating.
