Heh heh. Perhaps you are referring to the Dionisiac celebrations of classical Greece when people would get totally drunk and sing and dance and have sex with slave boys and girls?

Or the 'cult prostitutes' of Uruk cf 2000BC? Or The drug-induced sex rituals of the King and High Priestess of the same city in honour of the godly couple Inanna and Dumuzi?

Or, of course, how could we forget the great orgies of imperial Rome.... mmmmmm.....

People have been having good times, for a long time [img]smile.gif[/img] Temperence is a thin veil, a social curtain laid over ecstatic fun in order to make sure it doesn't get too out of control [img]smile.gif[/img] Moderation is the key m'boy
