Last night the History Channel aired the History of Sex, and I was glued to the screen. Some of the world’s earliest literature is about sex, who would have thought. LOL. They covered the Eastern World, everything from China’s pillow books, Arabic poetry and of course India’s Kama Sutra. These cultures have regarded sex not only as natural but also spiritual. It’s PG 14, so no reason to get too excited

Besides horrible traditions such as bound feet, which were considered intensely erotic in China, they also showed some funny habits. At a certain time period (can’t remember which) in China, the man put a sticky little cinnamon ball inside his navel–ancient Viagra. After all, he had to pleasure up to 40 (!) women in one night. Poor Guy! Another man (in India) taught a parrot to say naughty words. The parrot then would be inside the bedroom while he and the girl… you get the picture.

What a brilliant, intimate docu, though. It was totally fascinating to watch how attitudes about sex changed through the ages.

If you have a chance to watch it, don’t miss it!
