ffeminiert The
effeminate refinement of the Roman voluptuaries is well shown by the list of
attendants given in the Erotika Biblion, which includes as 'toilet accessories'
jatraliptae (youths who wiped the bather with swansdown); unctares
(perfumers); fricatores (rubbers); fractatrices (massage-girls);
dropacistae (corn extractors); alipilarii (those who plucked the
hair from the armpits and other parts of the body); paratiltriae (children
entrusted with the cleansing of all the orifices of the body, the ears, anus,
vulva, &c.); :and picatrices (young girls who attended to the symmetrical
arrangement of the pubic hair). -
