This was probably one of the riskiest places I’ve ever gotten naked (see the second pic).

Pompeii is a city destroyed in volcanic cataclysm 2000 years ago … and it is amazingly well preserved because of it.

It’s also famous for frescos of the hugely endowed Priapus.

’ve always felt a strong connection to ithophallic deities: Priapus, Shiva, Dionysus, Esu, Min… it’s something I actually write quite a bit about in my upcoming book, Ecstaticism: a Transmission from the Threshold. Who else has felt a connection to these pendulous men?
