Well, women used crocodile dung as a spermicide, and the men abused dead female corpses. Guess the gay necrophilia thing wasn't worth mentioning, or thought of at that time.
Years ago, I went to a visiting Egyptian exhibit at Boston's MFA. The grain products of that era were so full of sand, that it caused noticeable tooth wear.
The ancient Egyptians considered childbirth as a miracle. they did not know where babies came from (well, from the vagina, yes, but on a global level).
Anyway the homes of the poor often times had an open parlor in the front where the woman gave birth, so that any Tom Dick or Harry was welcome to come by and take a look during the process.
Today that would violate Hipaa!
