Description:
Did you know that someone was already walking around with a golden penis sheath around 4000 BC? Or that it was common for the ancient Greeks for older men to have sexual intercourse with young boys? Did you know that strap-on dildos already existed around 1000 AD? Did you know that condoms used to be soaked in warm milk and tied with a string?
100,000 Years of Sex; on Love, Fertility and Lust paints a surprising picture of how humanity dealt with all aspects of sexuality in different periods. From naked Venuses from the early Paleolithic, very frank expressions of sex among the Greeks to fertility sacrifices from the Roman era; and the prudish Victorian era is not left out: the reader will be amazed.
