Mayans had Orgies?

I guess you take enough mushrooms you do all kinds of things, but orgies?

Mayan chiefs were known to have transvestites around to "cock-bless". In fact from what I read, homosexuality was very commonplace and accepted in the Mayan community, and there were big gay orgies and everything. Wikipedia:

"The Maya were relatively tolerant of homosexuality. It is known that there were orgies among the Maya that included homosexual sex, but for sodomy you would be condemned to death in a fiery furnace.

Mayan society considered homosexuality preferable to premarital heterosexual sex, so the nobles got sexual slaves for their children."


In spite of the puritanism of the Mexica, the sexual customs of the people conquered by the Aztec Empire varied to a great extent. For example, Bernal Díaz del Castillo speaks of homosexuality among the ruling classes, prostitution of young people, and cross-dressing in the area of Veracruz. The yauyos had prostitution houses full of men with painted faces and women's clothing.
The Toltecs, elsewhere, were extremely tolerant of homosexuality.


I didn't learn this in school -- otherwise I would have paid more attention.
