F. Hugues (d'Hancarville): From Monuments of the Secret Cult of Roman Ladies, Rome, 1787.
In a number of the ancient temples a variety of animals were trained to copulate with women
and to have
intercourse per anum with men. Monkeys and baboons were encouraged to play with the
genitals of both sexes.
Attending priests accepted the customer's payment for this service. Use was also made of such
creatures as dogs
and goats in various establishments. In more recent times geese and turkeys have been placed
at the disposal of
frequenters of brothels in various parts of the world. A more frequent use of animals is in
erotic displays: dogs,
small horses, etc. have been made to copulate with women in front of a paying audience. Such
practices still take
place today.
