A: For our health (and to make the babies of course). Ancient Greek and Roman medicine was all about “finding balance” in order to maintain health, often by increasing or decreasing the amounts of different substances in the human body. Chronic nosebleeds? Clearly this patient makes too much blood! Let’s remove some of it. Ejaculation? Clearly some...
A: It’s vital: not only will men get sick if they don’t release their semen, but so will women (cf. Lesley Dean-Jones). Female bodies possess an extra organ (the womb) that gets the flu or something if it isn’t regularly moistened by male sex goo and regular and copious menstruation. Just kidding! It’s not the flu — it’s more like 20 or 30 somethin...
A: It’s not only men who ejaculate! While some medical writers said that women provide nothing whatsoever to conception except for the “raw material” of human body production, many others were convinced that women also emitted semen during intercourse. Both this notion of female seed and the belief that women are not able to get pregnant unless the...
A: From their internal penis of course! Pseudo Aristotle (Hist. an. X.5, Tr. Peck) says that women have a tube inside them “just as men have the penis, but within the body” from which they eject their seed. I’m starting to think this was a phallocentric culture… In all seriousness, when considered in light of what we now know about the role of ovar...
A: Not this one: Probably not this one either: Maybe this one?: Probably this one: General consensus seems to be that the evidence for (a cultural belief in) Greek female orgasm is spotty. Here’s our best description of female sexual pleasure (Hippoc., Nat. puer. 4, Tr. Potter): As classicist Erin McKenna Hanses argued in a recent SCS talk, we need...
A: Debatable! While anyone who’s ever experienced both kidney stones and childbirth can affirm that the former is infinitely more painful than the latter, it’s harder to assess the comparative pleasures of penile and clitoral orgasms. For the Greeks and Romans, however, the prophet Tiresias settled this stimulating debate way back in the mythologic...
A: Yes, and please read them rather than skipping to the next question. There was a great deal of disagreement between different medical writers, and many hundreds of years, sometimes, between them. Wherever I paint “ancient medicine” with a broad brush know that the situation is way more complicated than it seems. While much of Greco-Roman mytholo...
A: Everything is sexist and if you read Eidolonmore often you would know that by now. You definitely can’t compliment anyone for anything anymore or even masturbate into a potted plant at work I’m so sorrynotsorry for ruining plantsturbation for you. But yes, treating the female orgasm as the be-all-end-all (did you finish?) of sex is an androcentr...
A: Yes, but that doesn’t mean she came. In medical treatises, as we have seen, women were thought to enjoy the process of sex —not the grand finale—and to lose all pleasurable feeling once doused in male ejaculate (like throwing cold water into boiling, one author asserts). By contrast, women in ancient literature are sexually insatiable. But we sh...
A: Let’s ask our ONE FEMALE FRIEND (TM): In contrast to a lot of these male-authored representations of female pleasure, Sappho (as Jack Winkler argues) at many points indicates that she knows her way around a clitoris.
