Despite what many might think, sex and sexual intercourse has not been considered a dirty thing as we might view it today. There is not much real information about the ancient cultures and the reasons behind their rituals and behaviors but even to this day, there are people in this world (at least in Asia and South America) that perform rituals around statues of sexual organs (both male and female) and worship them as divine symbols or even gods.  According to many researchers and scholars, the obelisks in Egyptian ancient sites which were errected and inscribed in the areas where different temples were built, were the object of worship representing phallus (errected male sexual organ) which has been revered and worshipped by ancient Egyptians.

There are some so-called "mythological stories" which belong to different ancient cultures including Greeks, Egyptians and Mesopotemian civilizations which describe "sacred sexual" practices which were done to revere and please certain goddess. In Mesopotemia, there are remains of temples which were place of what some researchers call "sacred prostitution" in which, sexual acts were performed by volunteer women to serve the temple of godess Ishatr and all the rewards and payments by receiver of the services went to the temple. This was done apparently without anyone having any feeling of guilt or shame and as a service to the gods according to researchers and the volunteers would go back to their normal life as usual afterwards apparently with a sense religious accomplishment.

The fact is that, sexual pleasure, as an ultimate sense of pleasure that any living being seem to be able to have, has some mysterious qualities that have not been properly explored or discovered by modern scince. Aliester Crowley, who is known as symbol of Devil or even Devil himself, has considered and apparently used "sex" as a gateway to reach the powers of unknown and use that in acheiving certain goals. Things like this should make us wonder about the nature of western civilizaion. There are many stories around this matter but one thing that could make us wonder, is the presence of an obelisk (or phallus) in the present day Vatican in St. Peter's Square which was taken there directly from Egyptian ancient sites. There are many obelisks in many of modern western citiesand around the world  but almost all of them (including the washington monument in Washington DC) wre built locally. A name has been invented to cover all the structures which, in one way or another, resemble a phallus all around the world and it is called "phallic architecture".

There is a tendency among some educational and reseach organizations to hide the relation of such structures with male sexual organ but in some cases the relation is so obvious that their denial becomes very ridiculous. These structures and drawings have been found belonging to very old (maybe we could say ultra ancient) cultures and societies from around the world and modern man has no real information about them but remnants of such cultures still exist in some parts of the world far away from each other as I mentioned before.

Not to forget the Hajar Al Aswad that is the shape of vagina and is worshiped by Muslims who travel from all over the world to Mecca to touch and kiss it.
