Summary: "The Plague of Lust, Vol. 2" by Julius Rosenbaum is an academic exploration of the history of venereal diseases in classical antiquity, likely written in the late 19th century. This volume intricately examines the manifestations and societal perceptions of sexual practices, including detailed investigations into the cult of Venus, phallic worship, brothels, and various sexual perversions prevalent among ancient cultures. The work provides significant insights into the medical and cultural implications of sexuality and disease in historical contexts. The opening of the volume introduces the extensive focus of the text on the practices of "irrumation" and "fellation", discussing the societal attitudes and medical observations surrounding these sexual acts among the Greeks and Romans. Rosenbaum references classical literature and medical texts to elaborate on the physical ailments associated with these practices, highlighting the relationships between sexual indulgence and venereal diseases. The introductory passages set the stage for a thorough examination of both ancient perspectives on sexuality and the implications for understanding the medical histories related to venereal ailments.
