The model is of course David Čiháček, and his membrum virile is in fact very beautiful, so it's a pity I couldn't find an uncensored version of this.

Gaston Goor

Cum ob hanc offensam praeclusissem mihi aditum, quem feceram, iterum ad licentiam redii. Interpositis enim paucis diebus, cum similis casus nos in eandem fortunam rettulisset, ut intellexi stertere patrem, rogare coepi ephebum, ut reverteretur in gratiam mecum, id est ut pateretur satis fieri sibi, et cetera quae libido distenta dictat.

This breach of my word closed against me the approach I had made; but I found my chance again. For not many days after, another festival brought us into the same state as before. When I heard the father snoring, I proceeded to beg the boy to be friends again, that he would let me satisfy him, and the sort of things that love delayed make you say. 

[Petronius Arbiter, Satyricon, 87]

Glass cameo cup fragment (Roman1st half of 1st century AD, on view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 166)

Translucent purple with opaque white overlay.

Plain vertical rim with rounded lip; convex-curving side, turned in towards round bottom.

Decoration in relief on exterior: a symplegma scene of a kneeling naked man with head turned downwards behind a woman, also naked but with an anklet on her right leg; the man's left hand rests on her back and his right arm reaches back for support to a pile of cushions on the end of the low bed or couch, which is covered with linen; he is clean shaven and has short wavy hair; suspended above the lovers is a garland tied at the top with a bow; immediately below the bed is a broad, horizontal ground line, with a second parallel line below around base.

In two conjoining fragments; pinprick bubbles in body; on body, pitting, dulling and deep weathering, with some iridescence; on decoration, some pitting and creamy brown weathering. Horizontal grinding marks on interior.

Roman decorative arts include subjects that are of an explicit sexual nature. Scenes of lovemaking appear on everyday objects such as pottery and terracotta lamps, but they are also featured on luxury items such as silver and, as here, on cameo glass drinking cups.
