The Ancient Greeks are known for their advancements in philosophy, politics, art, literature, and many more, but the ancient people also had a number of sexual practices that may be considered strange today. Many think of ancient Greece as a free-for-all society, and in certain respects, it truly was when it comes to sexual relationships. However, there were many social norms, unspoken traditions, and rules which most of us today are unaware of. I’ve compiled for us to discuss a list of facts that perfectly depict what sex and sexuality were like in ancient Greece. We will be looking into marriage, prostitution and pederasty as the main areas of sexual expression of the ancients both in Athens and Sparta. We will do that through story telling and Q&A in a relaxing mode enjoying our coffee or cocktail.
