Sexual representations in pre-Columbian Peruvian art are associated with fertility rites, sacrifice ceremonies and ancestor worship, and they are a very important source of information regarding the world view of the societies of ancient Peru.
In the earthly world, human beings are joined in the act of procreation. New life is created through the union of a man and woman. Couples were even depicted with the fruit of their union in their bed.
Humans also perform sexual acts that do not lead to procreation, such as fellatio and anal sex, activities that symbolically linked the world of the living with the realm of the dead.
