I’ve tried to divide these up into categories that make some sense to us, but it is important to remember that Roman categories of sexuality do not align with ours.

A very brief selection of sources on various aspect of Roman sexuality including intersex individuals; sources on Eunuchs.

A link to the Priapeia, extremely crude poems that were associated with the garden god Priapus, and sometimes hung from his erect penis to ward off thieves.

Extra reading if you are interested in Martial as a source and in thinking about how this information was censored in translation for a long time.

This is a pdf of all of the poems of Martial that were considered too rude or dealt with subjects that people did not want to talk about. However, fair warning, the translations have some very odd words in there.

Biblography:

I recommend anything by Amy Richlin – most of it is very accessible and has the most interesting sources and cases.
