History


Hey Y'all! How is your week going? I was watching the history channel last week and saw an interesting show about the history of sex. The show was broken down into a series of one hour episodes, each one covering a time period. I only saw like one and a half, but what I saw was pretty interesting.

They talked about how the aristocrats of Europe were having wild orgies and such. Apparently the regular folk didn't take kindly to the news and that was just one more thing to piss them off, thus the French Revolution. Apparently, the early European settlers used to be quite prudish which perplexed the natives already here. While the natives weren't running around fucking in the streets, they did think of sex as being quite natural and not such a shameful activity. The new cummers (LOL) often shared a giant bed for the whole family, so the parents might be fucking right next to the kids (YUCK!). They also said that if a young man had come for supper and stayed too late to make it home, they'd put him in the bed too, but they had a wooden plank (forgot what they called it) they'd stick on top of the sheets between the guy and his intended target so the horny bastard couldn't fuck their daughter. Talk about cock blocking!

One thing I found fascinating was the description of the Victorian times. Sex was considered very much taboo for women. They were only to have sex for reproduction purposes. Men weren't even supposed to see a woman in the nude. Doctors of that time had to treat female patients while the women were fully clothed, so they really had no idea what was going on. Ironically, this coming at a time when major breakthroughs were just beginning in the science world. Funny, but the men would read tawdry books which often had the theme of a woman who is forced to have sex (again women were NOT supposed to crave sex) and then become a sex crazed nymphomaniac after. The "good girl" gone bad fantasy is still very much prevalent in today's porn. That's what the gone wild dvds they sell on TV are all about, the nice girl from next door who goes crazy and shows her tits and sucks and fucks strange guys cocks. Hmm, that's turning me on just thinking of it! ;^) Another favorite was the tale of a white girl who is captured and sold to a Sheik who makes her a wife (illustration above). She holds off his advances, until one night he is overcome with pent up lust and takes her by force. Of course she also becomes a sex fiend after her initial night of passion. Well, if you happen to get the History channel take a look and see if they're airing the series again, it was pretty interesting stuff.

Oh my. Some things (like rape fantasies) are better left in the imagination. Sounds like an interesting show.

Yup, very interesting to hear about the way various cultures and time periods dealt with sexuality and to see how those past ideas shaped current societal standards. We are just on the edge of changing things in a positive way, evidence of which is a mainstream channel airing a whole series about sex.
