'Harlots, Housewives and Heroines' is presently going out on BBC 4. Love the show not just because of the sexy Lucy Worsley, but I also love History. In the 17th Century Men were under the illusion that to get a lady pregnant, she had to orgasm first!. Consequently various sex manuals were available which remain remarkably sexually explicit, for example focusing on the Clitoris and how to stimulate this wonderful device! etc, you see it wasn't about women finding there Orgasm in the sixties man!, as the program alludes, its always been there. Even Cromwell's puritans were happy to talk sex, as long as it was in the marriage; swingers mind you, not sure, he would probably have them hung drawn and quartered!...
