***A taste of ancient human sexuality***
The kings of ancient Mesopotamia would have the poem of King Dumuzi’s marriage to the goddess Inanna (or *Ishtar*) read allowed as part of a ritual in the “sacred marriage” ceremony.
It is also believed that the poem was recited at New Year’s celebrations as well as festivals and banquets throughout the year.
This poem is one of the first writings in all of human history. It was written before the Pyramids of Giza were built— over 4,000 years ago!
This is not the whole poem, just a portion, but it’s a portion that validates and celebrates female sexuality in a way we don’t see in mainstream culture today:
*Inanna spoke:
My vulva, the horn,
The Boat of Heaven,
Is full of eagerness like the y0ung moon.
My untilled land lies fallow.
As for me, Inanna,
Who will plow my vulva?
Who will plow my high field?
Who will plow my wet ground?
As for me, the y0ung woman,
Who will plow my vulva?
Who will station the ox there?
Who will plow my vulva?
Dumuzi replied:
—Great Lady, the king will plow your vulva.
I, Dumuzi the King, will plow your vulva.
Inanna:
—Then plow my vulva, man of my heart!
Plow my vulva!*
