>Alexander the Great's army was on a campaign for 13 years
How often did ancient soldiers have sex? Would it have been gay sex?
>>
>>18010178
Camp followers were women that helped carry items and would bang the soldiers. They were prosties, but would often pair up with a man.

>He thinks soilders didn't have sex with hot local women cheating their wife's back home.

>army of 24k
>nearby villages have maybe 100 women
The simping must've been intense.
>>
>>18010235
>simping
Just straight up rape, the women have no choice in the matter
>>
>>18010235
and of those 100 females perhaps only ten were actually young attractive women the rest would be old/ugly/walled/literal children
>>
>>18010237
>Just straight up rape
Then the 100 women either get killed or run away. The army has to simp if they want a sustainable source of pussy.

Good morning ranjesh, please to be working on your English lessons
>>
>>18010261
I just dont believe that warriors would ever think about sustainable pussy or courting women of conquered enemies
I wouldn't unless there were severe penalties against rape in place, which I doubt
>>
It wasn’t casual in the way modern people imagine. A 13-year campaign didn’t mean daily sex.

>Noble white soldiers would never cheat on their wives

>>18010178
Camp followers and local women. Often locals would set up markets near a camp, essentially becoming temporary camp followers and sell soldiers food, clothes, and other crap up to and including sex.
>>
>>18010178
I am sure ancient conqueroring armies left rape babies all over their empire
>>
>>18010204
Talk about a baggage line lol.

>>18010256
And at some point they got into india and found 0 attractive women in 3 million+ villages and said, fuck it, let's go back to sex those persian cuties some more.

>resorted to rape
Greekcels...
>>
>>18011299
Rape was an implicit perk of being a soldier until the 20th century
>>
>>18010178
Greeks during Alexander were white. I don't think they practiced war rape and killed the ones who did.
>>
They didn't have to rape all the time.
Village girls see a Roman officer and they instantly cream...
Same for other women and an average healthy hard working soldier.
>>
Well we know for sure that the silver shields had women and children with them during the wars of the diadochi, because when their camp got captured at the Battle of Gabiene they mutinied over losing all their riches and pussy.
>>
>>18011240
You still have to go back pratyuksh.

>>18010261
The world back then didn't resemble the twitch streams you watch all evening
>>
>>18010178
>muh sex
They were busy working and marching so they had other things on their mind. I guess if they had the opportunity they fucked some whore to relax.
Sex isnt some necessity like food or air you know.

They mostly ignored w*men and brought a bunch of shotas and traps along with them during their peregrinations, including Alexander:
>There Nabarzanes, having received a safe conduct, met him [Alexander], bringing great gifts. Among these was Bagoas, a eunuch of remarkable beauty, and in the very flower of boyhood, who had been loved by Darius and was afterwards to be loved by Alexander; and it was especially because of the boy's entreaties that he was led to pardon Nabarzanes.

>It was in fact at this time that Alexander gave loose rein to his passions, and changed continence and self-control, eminent virtues in every exalted fortune, to haughtiness and wantonness. ...
>Three hundred and sixty-five concubines, the same number that Darius had had, filled his palace, attended by herds of eunuchs, also accustomed to prostitute themselves.

>Therefore he [Alexander] received the envoys of the Sakai courteously and gave them Euxenippos to accompany them; he was still very young and a favourite of the king because of his youthful beauty, but although in handsome appearance he was equal to Hephaestion, he was not his match in a charm which was indeed not manly.

>For when he had honoured all the friends of the king with gifts beyond their highest hopes, to Bagoas, a eunuch who had won the regard of Alexander through yielding his body, he paid no honour, and on being admonished by some that Bagoas was dear to Alexander, replied that he was honouring the friends of the king, not his harlots, and that it was not the custom of the Persians to mate with males who made females of themselves by prostitution.
— Curtius Rufus, The Histories of Alexander the Great

When they say eunuchs (back then), are they refering to people who actively cut their pride and joy off or hermaphrodites?
