Side-by-side Reading the past fortnight, The Oxford Anthology of Roman Literature, along with Moses Hadas' History of Greek Literature

I've uncovered a tiny little smidge of Ancient Dirt:  Julius Caesar probably did, on at least one occasion, have sex with Catullus. Well, what we know is that Catullus, still on the fair side of thirty, said some pretty nasty shit about Caesar, who let his indignation be known, causing Catullus to retract it and say he was sorry; which hearing, Caesar, being in the neighbourhood, invited the still young poet to dinner.  "Had sex?"  Well, if this could be defined as "gave blowjob" (irrumatus est)--maybe.
