    Let me complete the joke:

    The Greeks invented sex, but it was the Romans who were the first to add women to it.

        Is this factually true in historical writings, or am I being bamboozled? I know of the Greek’s propensity for gay sex, but hadn’t heard of the outer course approach.

        “Just let me slip it between your thighs, bro, I won’t go in your hole, I promise.”
        “You promise?”
        “Sure.”
        “OK, just make it quick”

        “Dude this is taking ages”
        “I know a way I’ll finish faster. I’ll pull out, I promise”
        “You promise?”

    Even if gay sex was not a factor, the movie has an entire scene dedicated to explaining that Odysseus’ men raped and pillaged at just about every stop on their way back.

      • I bet those guys could tell tales that would make a modern sailor blush. It’s what people do without tv. Some of the stuff was written down if you want to look it up. Those stories like the ones the Brothers Grimm wrote down? Those first versions were pure smut and gore, and only became children’s stories after a few rounds of heavy cutting and editing.

          it still happens, too. there’s a cowboy poetry/storytelling festival (maybe both? I forget which, it is usually in Elko, Nevada, USA last i checked) i am going to convince my wife to go to once we get a decent insulated RV

    Why do these post keep saying 20 years instead of 10? Do they not remember that the Illiad is litteraly about taking captive women to rape?

    I’m kind of curious what the reveal would be, that it’s survivable to not have sex for 20 years, or that the movie edited all the fucking out, because the original is basically 80% sex.

    Yet the women are being shamed as being beautiful to lure their ship in the rocks or trying to party drug the poor seamen

    Greeks going 20 years with no fresh young boys? Sounds like fiction to me.
