[Aztlan] Sexuality in Mesoamerica

[Jon Spenard]

Listeros,

Cave research provides a good context regarding the sexuality in Mesoamerica
question.

Just a few references to check out would be:

Brady, James E.
    1988    The Sexual Connotation of Caves in Mesoamerican Ideology.
Mexicon 10(3):51-55.

Stone, Andrea J.
    1995    Images from the Underworld: Naj Tunich and the Tradition of Maya
Cave Painting. University of Texas Press, Austin.  (Stone doesn't come out
directly talking about sexuality here, but she provides a great corpus of
cave painting that you can peruse through, and there is some mention of it
in the text)

Nielsen, Jesper and James E. Brady
    2006    The Couple in the Cave: Origin Iconography on a Ceramic Vessel
from Los Naranjos, Honduras. Ancient Mesoamerica 17(2):203-217.

Looking through my endnote bibliography, I came up with the following
sources as well


Ardren, Traci and David R. Hixson
    2006    The Unusual Sculptures of Telantunich, Yucaatecan:
 Phalli and the Concept of Masculinity among the Ancient Maya. Cambridge

in Pre-Hispanic America, edited by Cecelia F. Klein, pp. 183-253. Dumbarton
Oaks, Washington, D.C.
