The rather exciting, aphrodisiaic-driven Sigma formal that Maureen gets such a close view of of course has its own long pedigree:  another dream of a morality-free zone, a melting world of pleasures taken and given.  The idea of the orgy appears over and over in the world’s erotic art, so it behooves me to give a few examples.  Take, for instance, this exquisite carved-ivory reel from Japan.

In a very different cultural context, consider the temple sculptures at Khajuraho:

One thing you’re supposed to learn about in a modern college education, of course, is other cultures.  The Sigmas and their dates are putting this precept into practice.

Of course, I wouldn’t be a a sex blogger worthy of the name if I at least once post one other very famous orgy scene, this one drawn by the great Wally Wood for Paul Krassner‘s The Realist.

Popular culture is a common area of study in contemporary higher education, too.
