Plato wrote about it. Yeah, I know the mad rush to equate Atlantis with Thera but come on, Plato wrote about it, and I don't buy the excuse that well, Plato could have gotten one thing wrong. Plato wrote about it ...

Plato also wrote about the pleasures of gay sex. Of course he couldn't have been wrong about that....

Plato wasn't gay. He just liked to enlarge the circle of his acquaintances.

I dont believe that just because an ancient historian or philosopher wrote about something makes it a fact. Who was it that wrote an entire encyclopedia about creatures that never existed, including a race of werewolves ... was it Tacitus?

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeellllllllllllllll,........ he also wrote that women, if allowed to be educated could be every bit as equal as men. The bit about the gay sex was really singing the praises of sex between intectuals, and since, women, (in the Republic) are allowed to be educated and are no different from men, then sex with an intelligent woman would be every bit as satisfying.

It would have to pleasurable wouldn't it? Otherwise, people wouldn't do it.

Then again, people are weird.

I doubt anyone would seriously consider him wrong on that. If you were gay, I'm sure you would find gay sex very pleasurable.

Even if you were straight, I'm sure you'd get physical pleasure from a man performing, say, fellatio on you. That's why straight prisoners do it.

He also thought it contrary to nature and outlawed it. See his Laws I, 636C, VIII, 836B-D, 837B-C, 838E, 840D-841E
