Thanks Walter. I can't believe I'm going to miss the erotic frescoes! I guess I'll have to be content with the religious ones.

Wow! We were just there last Wednesday!
I thought it was strange that they were so open to the public and unprotected.
I'm glad we got to see them. We were very disappointed that the church of the Capuchin monks in Rome was closed (the one with all the bones).

I took some great photos of the erotic frescoes last month. I would be glad to send them to anyone who will miss the brothel due to renovation.

Hi Boulder,

We will be visiting in May and so I guess we will miss out as well, darn. My email is [email protected] if you don't mind sending your pics. Thanks so much!

No shortage of erotic imagery just about anywhere you care to look in Pompeii. The "weighty" fresco at the entrance to the House of the Vettii is especially striking.

Here's an url for the frescoes in the brothel.

One of the limited access sites at Pompeii is the Suburban Baths.
It has exotic frescoes in it's changing room (above the clothes lockers).
What sets this site apart from others is that one of the frescoes depicts a lesbian scene. And it's the only lesbian sexual fresco that has been discovered from ancient Roman times.
There are 3 limited access sites at Pompeii. As you enter the site go to the Info Booth on the left just before the ticket windows. If the sites are open on that day and they still have the free tickets you're in luck .
These frescos were most likely just decorative art and not an advertisement of services like in the Lupanare as widely believed (no brothel with it's cell-like rooms was found at the site). Regards, Walter
