^ Yes, it was an annual ceremony. I don't know if it was publicly witnessed. The Egyptians had obviously figured out that sperm had something to do with fertility, but didn't know the exact details.

While we're at it, many accusations during the WitchHunt period of Europe claimed that witchcraft involved sex in either the ritual phase or in its effects (i.e. causing infertility or forcing a man to have sex outside of marriage). These probably indicate something about sexual repression in society at the time, or in the case of adultery, about the ability of men to come up with imaginative excuses. Witches were also widely said to have sexual congress with the Devil, though whether that was part of a magical ceremony or his way of engaging a MagicallyBindingContract is unclear. Some current anthropologists believe that the prominence of broomsticks in traditional witchcraft stems from their use as a suppository or dildo by witches, while coated with a hallucinogenic substance such as ergot; which may indicate something about sexual repression in anthropologists.
