A line of graffiti found on the wall of the Bar/Brothel of Innulus and Papilio in Pompeii-

"Weep, you girls.  My penis has given you up.  Now it penetrates men’s behinds.  Goodbye, wondrous femininity!"

More graffiti here.

I think I was in that brothel two weeks ago. No really, lol. I wish I`d known about this then. I would`ve looked for it.

You were there? *dies* You wouldn't have seen it if you couldn't read the original language, but that would be AWESOME. I'd want a picture!

You're in luck. I totally have pictures! Of the brothel too! But I haven't uploaded them yet. (I just got back on Sunday.) I'll let you know when I do.
