Sex of ancient American civilisations (part 2)

Women

Both at a Maya, and at Aztecs of the woman have been subordinated to men. In addition, they should conduct a decent way of life and correspond to high standards of morals. The majority of them did not take part in a political and religious life of a society. However unlike Aztecs, women a Maya participated in religious practices. The goddess of the moon occupied one of the central places in a pantheon as thanking her relations with other gods on light there were people a Maya. From her leaders and governors of this civilisation conducted the parentage.

As to a family men and women carried out absolutely different functions. Since the childhood of girls trained in needlework and an economy on the house, and boys - to craft and military science. Girls a Maya and Aztecs married approximately in 16 years. The man was authorised to have some wives if he could provide all of them. In such cases the first wife was main, the others - the second, the third and so on.

The beauty standard
At ancient the Maya was the special ideal of beauty differing from all other people of Central America. At them the skull long and rejected back which formed at babies by means of two plates was highly appreciated. Also slanting eyes were the integral sign of beauty. To babies specially suspended any ornament directly before eyes that at them the squint (practises to this day) has developed. At last, at offensive of a sexual maturity young men and girls changed the hairdresses, did tattoos and inserted labial earrings and ornaments.

At an Inca polygamy too was not forbidden, but is far not all men were capable to contain more than one family. In culture an Inca where girls usually married in 12-14 years, existed, so-called, «trial marriages». The pair agreed about joint residing within several years. On the efflux of this term the girl could return again to parents or at the desire, or at will of the man who did not see from her the further home life. However, if marriage has been concluded, a unique occasion to divorce - childlessness of the woman.

Girls an Inca practically always married young men of the class. Nevertheless, there were cases when it was possible to them to raise the social status, having concluded marriage with the man from society. But for this purpose they had to make the larger efforts. The beautiful girl also could become «the Daughter of the sun», the concubine at a court yard. If her chose, after the first night with the governor she became or its next mistress, or came back home with rather generous gifts. The beautiful and pure (!) girl could become «the Virgin of the sun». Basically she sewed clothes for the governor and his wife.

Incas did not survey wedding as a certain happy event, and is faster as the business agreement between two families. As soon as the woman married, she has been obliged to cook food, to be engaged in housekeeping and to bring up children. And, she should carry out all these duties to the full even at pregnancy.

History of ancient America it not only history of the USA, but also all American continent. In other words, it includes history Northern, 

Southern and Central America (Mesoamerica), and also history of the Caribb

ean islands. All has begun with migration in these regions of the people from Asia and, probably, Ocenia during the Glacial age. Ancient civilisations have occurbed much later, among which the

 most known steels the people a Maya (1000 BC - 1521 AD, a Mesoamerica), Aztecs (XIV-XVI 

centuries, a Mesoamerica) and an Inca (XI-XVI centuries, the South America). In this article we also will talk and about tribes of Indians of the North America which were not so are strongly educed, but had wide enough views on

 sexuality.

Men

Curiously, but at the people a Maya sexuality associated more with men, than with women. For this reason in this culture completely there is no plotting o

f the men who are doing manual work. Instead sexualit

y was considered as a courage sign at men. Baring a body, they showed, that are deprived physical signs of weak women. The loincloth covered man's 

advantage exactly so, how much bared it.

In ancient texts of the man a Maya were designated by a special symbol in the form of the sexual member symbolising man's sexuality. On figurines, a pottery and in manuscripts the certificate of piercing of a penis was often represented at a ritual 

exsanguination. In it the generative organ of the man personified appearance of life-giving fluids: a seed and blood. It was group ritual at which men gathered, pierced the advantage and sometimes passed through it a cord, being united with each other. The similar mean of an exsanguination also has been bound to position of the man in a society: the above its position, the it is m

ore than blood should spill.

Aphrodisiacs

Ancient a Maya and Aztecs were the first who in chocolate has found the properties intensifying a sexual appetence. So, for example, in honour of harvesting of cocoa-legumes they had whole celebratings which were accompanied by feral orgies. According to one legend, the leader of Aztecs Montezuma daily drank 50 mugs of chocolate to take pleasure in love of each of it of 600 wives.

Incas were the first who has discovered a legendary plant of a poppy (maca) which root yields force and energy, enlarges a libido and enriches sex function. Under the legend, in days of blossoming of empire an Inca soldiers used it before fight to become stronger and hardy. But to them it was very strictly forbidden it is after battle to protect women of the subdued tribes from their sex excitation.

Celebratings of man's sexuality and beauty, in particular, were ma

de in cave Naj Tunich, Guatemala. In it the plotting of men has been found in sex excitation. Moreover, in a cave there is the unique rock painting representing two bared person, standing the person to each other. A figure at the left it, certainly, the man, and the figure sex on the right is for certain unknown till now. Initially scientific believed, that it is the woman though no sexual signs directly specified in it. But historian Andrea Stone has risked to assume, that it all the same the man who in a society carries out functions of the woman (about it testify its hairdress and ornaments). She confirms the hypothesis with absence of any mentions of visitation of women of similar caves. In its opinion, such caves were a place where men for dialogue both verbal collected only, and sex.
