What is entertainment? Has entertainment changed over time? .
Throughout history many aspects of culture have changed dramatically. Our.
culture has entertained its self with many different forms of entertainment .
throughout time, but throughout time those forms of entertainment have not .
changed. Our society still enjoys the same forms of entertainment they always.
have. Now in our culture we use slightly altered variables of the same .
entertainment.
Entertainment to the ancient Romans was watching men slaughter each .
other in mortal combat or sacrificing prisoners and slaves to lions and tigers. To .
this day you can still find blood in the sandy floor of the great Colosseum. Blood .
and violence were not the only forms of entertainment back then. The Roman .
nightlife was filled with parties consisting of orgies and great feasts, sometimes .
at the same time. Can you imagine what these parties must have been like? .
The guests would first engage in numerous sex acts. These sex acts .
included homosexual, heterosexual, bisexual, beastiality and many more. After .
engaging in filthy, unwashed, multiple participant sexual acts the guests would fill .
Johnson .
their bellies with food to the point of becoming sick, and then purposefully vomit. .
This behavior would continue throughout the night, until they could eat no more, .
or until their genitals were red and sore. Another form of entertainment the .
Romans had was pornography. While the Romans did create the foundation for .
our present civilizations, they also were responsible in laying the ground works for .
the pornography industry today as we know it. They were the first civilization to .
mass produce pornography. Gambling was yet another form of ancient Roman .
entertainment. Gambling consisted of games of chance as well as betting on the .
gladiators who fought for their lives in the coliseum. We cannot forget comic relief .
as a form of entertainment. The Romans wrote many comical stories and plays.
