Haha, but what's a Grecian urn?Went to the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge recently, in a glass cabinet they had some bowls and dishes that apparently had 'erotic' images on them, but all the juicy stuff was turned to face the wall.
I entered the museum toilets, frustrated.

I think my favourite censorship is something I heardMary Beard talk about on Richard Herring's podcast.
This statue is apparently on the cover of school latin books, but cropped so no cock is visible:

It just makes you wonder how many other books are cropped in the same way, eg Justin Lee Collins' Good Times.

Hehe, what a really odd bustand perversely reminds me of the cropping on the cover of Iggy Pop's 'Nude and Rude' - still waiting for someone to do that on the image challenge...

Oh noes!But naughty vases are the only places that curators can ever find any decent inspiration. Perhaps they were trying to hide the handling marks.

That could workMoche sex pots and bottles are also quite fun, and were buried with elite members of society. Nice thought: that if you were seen as the leader, you got to be put in the ground with the ancient peruvian equivalent of your favourite jizz mags.

Hahaha, what a tart!Whenever commentators say modern adolescents are too promiscuous, I shall tell them
