About this experience
Pompeii is well known around the world for being the city destroyed and buried by the Mt. Vesuvius eruption of the 79AD. But the city was more than just ruins! Pompeii, like Las Vegas was a nice place to have fun and no inibitions!
Did you know that one of the main topics of conversation was sexuality?
Far from being considered a taboo, love, sex romance, homosexuality and even prostitution were things people could talk about, even in public.
So, what are you waiting for? Leave your prejudice behind and enjoy this pleasant walking at the discovery of one of the most interesting practises of the Ancient times. Priapus will wish you good luck!
