Hi there!
My cousin is actually married to a greek man and he told us about the island of Lesbos. Apparently hundreds of years ago when Greece was at war, the men who were fighting in the war would send their wives to the island of Lesbos so they could be a support system for each other and not be tempted to cheat with the remaining men in their villages. With all of the women being on the island together, many of them began relationships (both emotional and physical) with one another, thus being titled "lesbians". Pretty interesting, huh? :)

Wrong! The island of Lesbos had a big school for girls who were taught by female teachers (one being Sappho, the famous poet). Lesbianism was widely practiced here, hence the name. Engaging in homosexual relations was very common in ancient Greece, especially among well-respected citizens. But you knew that, didn't you?

each and each woman might desire to be calling out Diannas call for the time of intercourse. She is between the main properly-enjoyed ***** throughout this international. So she's not gay, she purely has a weigh down... are you able to fairly blame her?
