      Toilet, which was pronounced with a fancy french accent in the past, would cover everything from the room, to the ass, to what’s produced. Putting all those meanings in one word was supposed to cover up the process a bit, give it a bit of class and discretion.

      I believe the title can thus be translated to “The Ass of a Sex Goddess”.

        It’s from the French toilette, which originally meant “dressing room” from toile, meaning cloth. It’s used as a euphemism like “restroom” or “washroom” but also still means “getting dressed routine.” Eau de toilette (English: toilet water) doesn’t mean water from the shitter, it means perfume.

      “Toilet” is also a word for fixing up your appearance, doing everything you do to get ready to go out.

        So the original title was “The Mirror’s Venus” but they decided to go with “The Toilet of Venus”? Brilliant.

        So neither the English nor Spanish Wikipedia pages mention it, but La Venus del espejo can also mean Venus of/from the mirror referring to her appearance in said mirror. No idea where they got toilet from. It couldn’t be a translation mistake as neither word is anywhere similar to one another

      I mean, tbh it sounds like a euphamism for “cumslut” lol

        Her role encompasses aspects of sexuality and fertility, certainly, but to define her as a “cumslut” would be an oversimplification of her significance in Roman culture.
