Roman sexual terms
This post is also available in: Polish (polski)
Naturally, ancient Romans also had their own expressions for all sexual activities. For example, the word cinaede meant a person who was anally penetrated.
Pedicabo is the word for penetration and the verb irrumare is the act of putting a penis in your partner’s mouth for oral sex.
