I'm sorry you can't find a comments section more than a few decades old. Perhaps it's because the Internet didn't exist?
But I can guarantee people have been weirdly sexualizing everything forever. Roman artwork proves that.

If you can show me Roman furry artwork (for a friend who really wants to see it, of course), I'll withdraw my whole line of comments.

Not directly artwork, I believe the below was derived from text.

Some Romans were swingers. Also, furries. The good people of ancient Rome weren't afraid to get a little freaky. Archaeological evidence suggests that some Roman households were home to private sex clubs, decorated like brothels and complete with their own entrance. Other people liked to dress up as animals, everything from bulls to leopards, and roleplay during sex. And here you thought furries were some kind of weird Internet-era kink!
