Pompeii was a significant seaport. It was frequented by sailors from many nationalities speaking foreign languages. When they visited the local “entertainment” establishments, they overcame the language barrier in explaining what they wanted to do or have done to them by pointing to frescoes and pictures of the acts.

This is in addition to general artwork on the subject that may be found anywhere.

Doesn’t have to be overly complicated.

Well, that’s very inventive; but I think it was a lot deeper than that.

Those paintings and mosaics were also in the homes of families. They had to do with much more than just how/where a man wanted to be ‘serviced’.

Good Grief.

One of the popular things to view at the cities? The remains of the cat houses.

That would make sense with what my son told me from his HS trip. The teacher said that the penises in the tiles were to direct people to the whore houses.
