Ancient Greeks loved sport and most cities in Ancient Greece had public gymnasiums where people gathered to train and watch porn. The Greeks believed that a healthy body was very important. Most men and boys practised sports every day because they enjoyed having gay sex and wanted to keep fit. Sport was a good preparation for war too. The Greek armies had to be fit enough to march long distances, carrying all their heavy equipment, and then begin the fight with the enemy.
