I’ve often thought if I was a woman in Ancient Rome I would definitely want to be a Vestal Virgin. Because all it required was abstaining from sex with men. Lesbianism wasn’t really thought of as “sex”. Neither was masturbation. So a Vestal could enjoy a great life, avoid the danger of pregnancy, retire with wealth and money and have far more freedom than other women those days.
