more erotica

I don't know how to add a photo to another post; so, this post really is a response to "Coding Body Parts as Patriotic"--my apologies for a new post.

Strikingly, I saw a similar piece of erotica in the Gabinetto Segreto (“Secret Room”) of the National Archaeological Museum of Naples this past May. The flying penis key chains (yes, there were more than one) is from antiquity. You are supposed to sign up for the room to tour this collection of erotica (the keychains are just a part) in order not to have too many people in the room becoming too excited at once.
