If the only translation you’ve read is the public domain one from the 19th century, it was heavily censored/edited. Newer translations are much better, and have all the hash smoking and lesbian sex. (And yea, I’m being literal)
Samples:
19th PD: https://welovetranslations.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/st...
Buss: https://welovetranslations.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/bu...
(Not any spoilers really...these are both the 1st page).
Even here, notice the heavy abridgement...two whole sentences axed from the first 3 paragraphs alone!
The Buss just reads so much better and more idiomatically, even ignoring the censorship issues.
Very recently I discovered that I need glasses (for the first time in my life). My eyes went from perfect to downhill very quickly. I'm now trying to get used to wearing reading glasses. This is especially important with a book like this, which has a tiny font. Now I know why I was feeling uncomfortable and getting headaches :-)
highly recommend Ovid then :)
