The Sex Secrets of Old England: A Saucy Compendium of Our Passionate Past

The Sex Secrets of Old England: A Saucy Compendium of Our Passionate Past

by NigelCawthorne (Author)

Synopsis

Once again, Nigel Cawthorne takes the reader on a fascinating journey through the strange, hidden sexual history of England. The history of sex in Britain has been largely glossed over by 'proper' historians: Nigel Cawthorne has burrowed deep into the archives to reveal exactly what our ancestors got up to in bed (and out of it). There are chapters on the ancient arts of seduction, adultery, brothels, 'the English vice', contraception, defloration, and many more - from the torrid Tudors to the supposedly strait-laced Victorians.
