There's definitely the lewd nudes in the margins of the Bayeux Tapestry
(including the man with the ... er ... Proportionately Large Member ...
chasing a nekkid lady ... also in the margins, there's a naked man
working with some farming implements ... the significance of these
figures is discussed in the commentary in Wolfgang Grape's book on the
Bayeux Tapestry)

I think I remember some others that were more or less just artistic
nudes ... not X-rated in the long run, really.

I suppose in its day the Malterer Hanging was a sort of discourse on
pure/impure love ... not really X-rated, though ...
