"History of Sex" (the Discovery Channel show)

[AriaStar]

Dude! They just mentioned that the first hanging in Massachusetts was of a servant named Thomas Granger, and it was for sexing up a mare, a cow, two goats, five sheep, two calves and a turkey. How the hell do you fornicate with a TURKEY?!

Anyway, has anyone else ever seen this show? It's actually fascinating.

In Victorian times, "limbs" was used as a euphemism for "legs," which were thought to be so exciting to men as to cause a sexual frenzy. Tables also have legs.

I quote, from this episode:

"Table skirts were invented to prevent any unnatural union between men and furniture."

I saw a few of the earlier episodes. Specifically the ones about Egyot and India. It was good. I think I have all the later ones on my DVR. Can't wait to see the turkey-****er.

There are at least 4 of them and they always show them back to back overnight. It sucks but if you record them.....

I watched the Middle Ages era one this morning after I posted above. It was pretty good.

I think I've seen it before. I know Discovery Health did a few sex shows before. Really quite interesting on the actual study of how people interact when on dates and such.

Imagine in some of these third world counties where women are so covered only eyes show....man I can see some guy getting a boner because her nose was showing.

Like in the simpsons when they show victiorian times when a woman showed her ankle they got all excited

I've heard that there are places in the middle east where cylindrical vegetables(cucumbers and the like) are banned because they are 'suggeestive'. That's crazy shit.
