Germany - Archaeologists in Germany have unearthed what they believe to be a 7 200-year-old figurine of a couple having sex, reports the Guardian.

Dr Harald Stäuble of the Archaeological Institute of Saxony, discovered a 8cm figurine of a man, which he named Adonis von Zschernitz.

One month later, Stäuble found what could be the matching female figurine.

Stäuble told the Guardian: "Adonis is bent forward and the female figure is bent forward even more.

"There are two ways of looking at this. The first is that they were doing a ritual dance, but the other possibility is that the man and woman were copulating and that he was standing behind her.

"The copulation option is far more likely, and would make this the oldest representation of a pornographic scene." - Ananova.com
