Pottery from Convento de Santana, Lisbon. Source Pornography in the Convent

From Convents, Monasteries and Porcelain: A case study of Santana Convent, Lisbon:

Besides the rich porcelain tableware used during meals or as a decorative element, a rare bowl decorated with erotic motifs was also found. This object, considering the religious context in which it was recovered, has caused a huge surprise, leading to numerous interpretations.

And in Peru:

Curiously, Peru's sex pottery is found in association with 'other religious artefacts':

From Sex Pottery of Peru: Moche Ceramics Shed Light on Ancient Sexuality:

the sex pots have been found almost exclusively in high-status burials, irrespective of the age or gender of the deceased; are often accompanied by other religious artifacts; were found to be produced at huaca (temple) centers rather than in domestic contexts

This has caused huge surprise.

Despite the numerous hints.

From Traces of Lincolnshire's Monastic Great Houses:

‘Gilbert’s abstinence was wonderful, his chastity conspicuous

Why would a monk's chastity be conspicuous?

And from Nuncotham Priory - Wikipedia:

Nuncotham Priory was a priory of Cistercian nuns in Brocklesby, Lincolnshire, England.

Throughout its history the Bishops complained that the nuns lived a little too freely. Joan Thompson, the last prioress, had a habit of keeping her own family at the convent's expense, and the sisters had a habit of going out to visit friends.

And - if Lisbon's convent pottery needed any more explanation - from The anatomie of the English nunnery at Lisbon, Thomas Robinson, 1662 (allegedly):

So on a bed they wanton clip and kisse,

There's nothing in a Nunnery amisse.

Then doth a banquet on a Table stand,

And from the bed hee leads her by the hand;

Whereat they eate, carouse and kisse againe;

And, in a word, doe no delight refraine.

That poem is from a mass-market pamphlet:

If humans around the world made sex pottery, sold it, used it, cleared it away and washed it - in nunneries and convents - how have they forgotten it?

Why do humans forget so many 'inconsistencies' in their lives and their local histories?

Because their fuses blow. Source: Westworld

And why do they forget inconsistencies reported - and therefore recorded - on paper:

A rational answer is they're a product with selective amnesia.

A feature of 'Product Design' and 'Product Evolution'.

Ultimately though, it will be cheaper to code DNA to make the cells that will 3D-print her:
