Because people have been obsessed about sexuality since time immemorial. Ever seen Greek pornography on amphoras?

Some people. Not the ones who make great art.

Don’t confuse Ron Jeremy with Homer.

Ah, Homer, the author of a fanfiction poem of some protochad fucking his way through the goddesses and women of the mediterranean the Odyssey.

Let's face it bros, we're all too busy looking at tits. If we have seen further than others, it is by standing upon the tits of giantesses.

The fear of having a (relatively) fixed nature. They want to screw their eyes up and wish ever so hard that they can be anything they want to be. :)

As discussed here before, the more likely reason behind this change is that some dangerhair troon associated beings who are masters of manipulation and legalese that provide you with great material wealth in exchange for your soul with (((G*d's Chosen Tribe))) and didn't want to stereotype them as exclusively Evil.
Gary Gygax established in the 1977 AD&D Monster Manual that Rabbi Judah Loew is a Lawful Good cleric of at least 17th level:

Cool it with the antisemitic remarks.

All comes down to diddling kids:

View attachment 30901

Having some random dude or power who sole purpose is to transcribe history to the best of his ability is a rather cool concept, but not exactly new. They should have kept th mysterious backstory instead of outright assassinating him like that.

"Ho yeah, I remember now my past. I used to be an elven archmage of the most powerful empire, and went on a quest to save it from impending doom, who took me to hell. I had to make a pact with a greater demon, but turns out she was pretty chill the whole time, and let me just neet away in my tower. I also met some dashing rogue, a fine piece of elven jailbait if I do say so myself. The things we were doing while [♱♱♱CONTENU PURGED FOR BEING EXTRA HERETICAL ♱♱♱]. I tell you, [charname], a nonstop porno.
And he was a good friend."

"Anyways, Kyonin fall during thoss time, as I was terribly busy. Do you need help for anything, [charname] ?"

Interesting how that quick crude sketch, probably done for a laugh, reveals something of the kind of brushwork style used in these paintings though.
As much as I admire Ancient Greek culture and history,they were quite a bunch of pederasts and degenerates.

Not actually true. It's a myth propounded by faggot scholars on the basis of extreme cherry-picking. There was a clear distinction between Platonic love and the intimate mentorship of a young man by an older man, which was extolled by the Greeks, and pederasty, which was definitely not kosher to the Greeks. The relationship was primarily aesthetic - an appreciation of youthful strength, beauty and intelligence (where any) and the desire to help it be victorious in the world by passing on one's accumulated knowledge and experience in an intimate, loving context. It was essentially coaching, which is still a fairly intimate relationship even today in sports (great athletes love their coaches and speak highly of them - "I owe everything to him" - and coaches love their charges, and speak of them with affection - "He's a great kid, you know").

Perhaps.
But remember the spartans and their "mentorship" during agoge.
Xenophon denies any pederasty though.

Truth probably lies somewhere in the middle. The reaction against the egregious groomerism has in fact deprived the last couple generations of the guidance that previous generations benefited from almost as much as the grooming itself did.

Tragic

We need to return to the Roman way of thinking where showing literally any affection towards your wife got you laughed at and ridiculed as effeminate.
IIRC, having sex with a woman in a cowgirl position also makes you morally inferior in the worst way possible.

Ah Romans.

What's wrong with that position?
The short answer, and take this with a grain of salt as I read this years and years ago, is that Romans placed an extremely high emphasis on men being in controlling positions during sex. In fact, there wasn't that much of a stigma towards m/m gay sex, as long as you were the one on top or "pitching."

High born Roman men were expected and encouraged to have numerous sexual partners, whether they be slaves or of similar social status, men or women.

However, if you weren't on top, you lost dignitas (or face/respect). Having a woman be on top is sometimes seen as even worse than being on the receiving end of gay sex.

Ancient beliefs about sex (and anything else for that matter) are fucking weird.

Because moderns and our crashing t-levels and sperm counts are knocking it out of the park?

Women actually prefer that in their men, so in a twisted way Romans could be considered simps. But not really, sexual dimorphism is merely natural.

Latin doesn't even have a word for receiving a blowjob or getting your dick sucked. You facefuck that bitch.

You'd think with all the various laws Augustus enacted to penalize those who weren't married and having children he'd have done something about the widespread homosexuality that, according to modern literature, was very rampant. Not even widows were spared, young widows were expected to remarry quickly or face punishment.
Just one of those things that makes ya think, I suppose.
This might shock you to know, but plenty of closeted gay men have wives and children.

This might shock you to know, but homosexual lifestyle as we understand it has only existed for about half of a century.

The whole point was to fulfill your familial duty and eventually tolerating faggotry on the side, not promoting hedonism.
