Geschiedenis
The act of sex has not changed since people first worked out what went where, but the ways in which society dictates how sex is culturally understood and performed have varied significantly through the ages. Humans are the only creatures that stigmatize particular sexual practices, and sex remains a deeply divisive issue around the world. Attitudes will change and grow–hopefully for the better–but sex will never be free of stigma or shame unless we acknowledge where it has come from.
Based on the popular research project Whores of Yore, and written with her distinctive humor and wit, A Curious History of Sex draws upon Dr Kate Lister's extensive knowledge of sex history. From medieval impotence tests to twentieth-century testicle thefts, from the erotic frescoes of Pompeii, to modern-day sex doll brothels, Kate unashamedly roots around in the pants of history, debunking myths, challenging stereotypes and generally getting her hands dirty.
You will laugh, you will wince and you will wonder just how much has actually changed.
Contains mature themes.

Witty, hilarious, and thought-provoking. It was informative, emotional, vulgar, and more comprehensive than I thought it would be, especially given how difficult it is to research sex in history. It touched upon most main topics you'd expect to be associated with sex, and also some other topics like bicycles, which I loved. In this book you'll find out the reason I'll always refer to my genitals as my cunt now, and why Easter feasts might be a thing to avoid. It was also read brilliantly with such charm and sarcasm and perfection, I dare say it's better to listen to it than to read it on your own.
