Very well done. Not only is my archaeological interest sparked.....
Thank you for introducing this topic online! I'm beginning my own studies in sexuality and gender archaeology, and finding actual research and information not bogged down with ridiculous and uninformed commentary is rare and extremely valuable. I hope you'll continue to reveal more on similar topics in the future. (And great job with your first iMovie attempt.)

Thanks so much for the kind words. This was an exciting project for me and I believe my classmates were in shock when they watched the video. Like you, sexuality, especially the sex lives of the ancients, has always peaked my interest. It's a taboo subject for many, but it's an adventure for me to reveal something I never knew before.
I also wrote an article about this topic, you may have already read it, located here: http://www.ancientdigger.com/2012/05/pompeii-erotic-art-and-roman-sexuality.html
