Peru. The Moche had no writing system, but their artistic productions communicated much about their lives. In their pottery and sculpture, archaeologists have uncovered a conspicuous sexual theme.

Early psychiatric commentaries also noted that" not one single way of abnormally performing the libido sexualis" was lacking in the iconography, and they thus concluded the art resulted from a cocaine psychosis that affected the" libido center"(Valdizan 1915). Not all analysts though, agreed with this interpretation. Some found a relationship between the" horrifying" pottery and the practice of cranial trephining. Accordingly, Posnansky (1925) argued that trephining could have deformed the libido centers resulting in an abnormal state of" non-satisfaction." The pottery was viewed as a sublimation of a frustrated sexual impulse resulting from this brain damage. However, more recent scholars do not view art with such" x-rated" eyes.
