Erotic art in Pompeii and Herculaneum was discovered in the ancient cities around the Bay of Naples, particularly of Pompeii and Herculaneum, after extensive excavations began in the 18th century. The city was found to be full of erotic art in its frescoes, symbols, and inscriptions, says Wikipedia.
Sex and pornography in Pompeii were looked at as a completely normal aspect of human nature.
The motto in Pompeii, which could be found on the erotic art and walls, drinking vessels, as well as plaques, read "enjoy life while you can for tomorrow is uncertain."
A considerable discussion of this art, which has shocked generations of moderns, is to be found at a history site, ancientdigger.com.
