 Sex acts that were considered taboo (such as those that defiled the purity of the mouth) were depicted in baths for comic effect.Large phalli were often used near entryways, for the phallus was a good-luck charm, and the carvings were common in homes.One of the first objects excavated when the complex was discovered was a marble statue showing the god Pan having sex with a goat, a detailed depiction of bestiality considered so obscene that it was not on public display until the year 2000 and remains in the Secret Museum, Naples.
