Recently, some anthropologists suggested that the Cro-Magnons who painted in the caves of Lascaux and other locations had included some racy images. Of course, that's an interpretation.

If you want explicit depictions of human sexuality, you can go at least as far back as the Greeks. About 2500 years ago, Aristophanes wrote "Lysistrata" in which a sexually frustrated man is enacted talking to his own penis about how they're about to--ahem--obtain relief. Much of Greek mythology is concerned with mythological rape and such titillating stuff.
