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' in 'temple centers':

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

Why the huge surprise?

Perhaps 'temple' simply means 'you pay by the hour'.

After all, there are many 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 sex pottery, used sex pottery, cleared sex pottery away and washed sex pottery, and heard songs about sex in nunneries and convents, how did they forget where the sex pottery was used?

Why do humans ignore this and many other 'inconsistencies' in their world?

Because their fuses blow. Source: Westworld

Why do they ignore 'inconsistencies' even when the inconsistencies are preserved on paper:

The evidence - or actually, the ignoring of evidence - suggests the human product specification called for a truncated attention and memory formation system. For an ablated prefrontal cortex. A genetic lobotomy.

For shorthand, we will call the outcome 'amnesia'. But remember - assuming you have the prefrontal cortex to remember it - that what this really means is: 'selective attention fused with selective amnesia'.

Human attention spans seem optimised for grasping customer details in the service industries. Where realistic small-talk matters:

Part of the big picture is that Dunyasha is an expensive build.

To turn a real profit from her potential requires a much cheaper technology: cells that print themselves:

For more about the park, try #human hunting. For more about the suffering, that seems to have been kept from everyone - probably for good reason.

But that technology - the one that will, as it were, raise Dunyasha from the dead - that technology really is a form of 3D printing.

It's a widespread technology:

And it's reliable - at least for those who grasp its details.

And who have the money to commercialise it:

Oh God, it's incredible! Source: Westworld
