A friend of mine argued that Pompeii society was especially hedenous/sexual as sexual texts were found in graffiti there which has not to the same extent been found in other places.
I however reasoned that the only reason for that is that more graffiti in general from the time is found in Pompeii due to the circumstances of it’s deatruction which preserved the city from that exact moment in difference to other roman settlements which often have survived and evolved until today leaving no graffiti from the time.
Is my reasoning correct or is he right that Pompeii was an extra sexual society??
Sorry for the poor English, it’s not my first language.
By sexual texts I mean for example:
“Weep, you girls. My penis has given you up. Now it penetrates men's behinds. Goodbye, wondrous femininity”
“Restitutus says: "Restituta, take off your tunic, please, and show us your hairy privates”
“I screwed the barmaid”
“Theophilus, don't perform oral sex on girls against the city wall like a dog”
“Atimetus got me pregnant”
“Celadus the Thracian makes the girls moan!”
These are texts found on walls in Pompeii
