    I’d never really thought about it until relatively recently, but I wonder if there are some statistics and anecdotal stories about hanky-panky between adults in Catholic settings. In and around churches, monasteries and convents, for example.

        celibate was established so that a pope can’t give all his power and position to his heir

        Interesting; didn’t know that. Sounds very strange at the same time, altho I suppose that kind of thinking (“heirs”) was more normalised way back when.

        Thanks for the film / article.

      It’s certainly something that’s been thought about…

      The Sin by Heinrich Lossow (very nsfw)

      I think contemporary erotic artist Apollonia Saintclair also has some pieces in this vein, but can’t find them right now… A lot of slop comes up searching her name now. :/

          It’s an excellent painting! Also looks fully consensual. The one op posted could be… But also could not.

          Thanks for pointing me to Apollonia’s archive. I’ll also check out your post on her!
