Thoughts?

Personally, I think it's a little off-base. It states matter-of-factly that necrophilia and beastiality were among AE sexual practices... ??
 

A common pratice for fertility in ancient Kmt as today was would a women would expose herself in front of the neteru or sat upon the Apis bull. Excavators in rural Egypt noticed how rural women would take these objects and either sit on them or rub themselves with them. Early Arab writers like Al Masudi also pointed this out. Obviously it might have been part of a temple ritual also done by the God's wives of Amun.

Here is an interesting book I came across about sexuality in Egyptian soceity:

Eros on the Nile
by Karol Mysliwiec
The religion and society of ancient Egypt relied heavily upon erotic mythology and imagery which is perhaps not surprising for a country that owed its civilisation to the fecundity of the Nile. Now translated from the Polish into English by Geoffrey L Packer, this well-illustrated study examines this aspect of the Egyptian character which, Mysliwiec argues, has been suppressed by generations of Egyptologists and scholars. Mysliwiec discusses the function and presentation of male and female sexuality, the relationship between the pharaoh and the gods and within the royal family, the role of women and the female figure in Egyptian religion and society and the contrast between the romantic love depicted in art and literature and the reality of arranged marriages and formal contracts. The study is supported with line drawings and photographs of works of art and objects used in rituals and everyday life. 180p, 8p of col pls, many b/w illus (1998, Duckworth Engl edn 2004
