To be clear, the bee vibrator story has always been a rumor of unknown originand not verifiable fact, but the theory goes that the bees swarming around inside the contraption would have caused it to vibrate and move around, making it ideal for Cleopatra's supposed purposes. According to Herodotus, toguard against necrophilia, families did not immediately surrender the bodies of deceased women who had been great beauties. Rumor has it she filled either a hollowed-out gourd or an empty papyrus box (sources differ) with angry bees, then used the makeshift device as a vibrator. For example, ancient Egyptians thought visual depictions of animals doing it were less offensive than human-human intercourse.

Most people know ancient Egyptians practiced mummification, but the embalmers who performed the process didn't always respect the bodies. Also, ancient Egyptians considered physical acts depicted between a human and an animal less visually offensive than the same between two humans. Virginity also didn't have the same religious significance as it did for the Romans, who placed female virginity next to godliness and considered sexual restraint a virtue. Premarital relations was openly practiced, and as long as it happened between two unmarried people, there was no stigma attached.Seth and Nephthys, Osiris and Isis, and Shu and Tefnut are just a handful of the brother-sister couples from Egyptian mythology. Like modern civilizations, ancient Egyptians wanted to have some degree of control over their family planning. Representations of intercourse with animals, with corpses, and with siblings all have a place in the story of sexuality in ancient Egypt. And because royalty loves to emulate the gods, siblings ruling over Egypt frequently married one another.

One approach detailed on ancient papyrus suggests they used gum made from acacia tree sap to "cover the mouth of the womb" during intercourse.

People frowned upon the practice, and if colleagues discovered an embalmer was using a corpse for carnal purposes, theydenounced him. And there is at least some corroboration for the effectiveness of this approach, as acacia gum contains lactic acid, a known spermicide. In another method, they applied acombination of honey and sodium bicarbonate to the inside of the vagina. Egyptian gods and goddesses often took the shape of animals, so there was a divine connection to the idea of human-animal intercourseas drawn in the glyphs. If you thought the Romans and Greeks were unique when it came to bumping uglies, wait until you see the ancient Egyptians.

Sex in ancient Egypt functioned along a very different axis of pleasure and propriety than it does in a modern Western context, but that doesn't mean ancient Egyptians did everything they could think of - or that ancient Egypt was one nonstop party.So some argue what looks like hieroglyphicbestiality is acoded representationof human-human intercourse.
