First Act
Human societies have different approaches to sexuality, and surely
people have always been interested in sex, eroticism. As a result of
evolution, visual awakening and thus visualization were natural.
However, the first erotic depictions of human history in the traditional
sense were not yet pornographic. Thirty thousand years ago, in the
Paleolithic era, animals, hunting scenes and human genitalia were most
commonly depicted in images as fertility symbols. Some Paleolithic
paintings and artifacts, such as the fertility goddess statuettes, the
most famous of which is Venus of Willendorf, depict human figures with
exaggerated sexualities.

Recently discovered cave drawings in the Creswell Crags Cave in
England, which are more than 12,000 years old, also include stylized
versions of female genitals. However, they were not used for erotic
excitement but religious ceremonies. German archaeologists announced in
April 2005 that they had discovered a 7,200year-old depiction of a man
leaning on a woman in a manner reminiscent of a sexual act. The male
figure was named Adonis Zschernitz. Again, these images may not have
been used to arouse sexual excitement, but it is possible that the
images were of spiritual significance and are associated with fertility
ceremonies.

At the same time, groupsex, transvestism, sex toys, and occasionally
bdsm, have become surprisingly widespread in pre-community societies. At
least that is what is found in prehistoric sex toys, eg. sex equipment
found in Ulm 28,000 years ago, a dildo, or human remains buried in
gender-specific clothes.
