I want to know how the porn of eld stacks up to today and if it has stood the test of time. Did the ancients find the same things we do arousing? How did they write about it? What was its role in society? These have been a few questions that have been on my mind.
Is there any significant ancient smut that has survived to today?

What is the oldest surviving erotic story? Does Ovid count?

The Milesian Tales which originate in 200 Bc Greece are the oldest expressly erotic stories without religious significance so no myths involving erotica.

>The name Milesian tale originates from the Milesiaka[2] of Aristides of Miletus (Greek: Ἀριστείδης ὁ Μιλήσιος; fl. 2nd century BCE), who was a writer of shameless and amusing tales notable for their salacious content and unexpected plot twists. Aristides set his tales in Miletus, which had a reputation for a luxurious, easy-going lifestyle, akin to that of Sybaris in Magna Graecia; there is no reason to think that he was in any sense "of" Miletus himself.

The oldest bit of mass produced literature is erotica, they have found a large number of copies of it in the dumps which served the settlements of the Giza pyramid builders. Has yet to be released and it could be a good long while before it is since sifting through all the garbage that was dug up is the work of one man who has been at it since the 60s or 70s.

As someone who almost had to dig in the midden heap outside a local suspected brothel for course credit, I love everything about that story.

Relative to the OP, is fat the oldest fetish? That or feet. Maybe they're both the oldest.

They didn't need porn because they had prostitutes.
