Quote from this book "A fascinating world of America's sexual prehistory has emerged from the study of myths and legends, cave paintings, pottery, wood and stone sculpture, cliffside etchings and picture writing. From a culture dating back eight centuries before the arrival of Columbus, for instance, a shallow bowl remains. On it is painted a hunter striding home with rabbit in one hand, bow in the other, his penis proudly erect. What was the sex life of these first Americans like? How did it differ from that of the European explorers, conquistadors and settlers who came and forever disrupted their culture. Fortunately, these first Americans left a vivid, relatively easy-to-read record of their sexual beliefs and practices in their myths and legends, along with much tangible evidence. Revealing tales have been cherished and passed down by shamans through the ages. We know, for instance, that they practiced many kinds of sexual relationships, life stules were both heterosexual and homosexual. Their sexual mores are part of their verbal and visual history." opening paragraphs, Chapter One Secondhand booksellers |
