Summary

The history of sex in Britain has been largely glossed over by 'proper' historians. This book reveals what our ancestors got up to in bed (and out of it). It includes chapters on the ancient arts of seduction, adultery, brothels, 'the English vice', contraception, defloration, and more - from the torrid Tudors to the strait-laced Victorians.

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.
