Sex Through the Ages: What’s Changed?
How did people really approach sex in the past? Were they as prudish as we think, or just better at keeping secrets? In this episode of Let’s Talk About Pleasure, we dive into history using iconic art—like The Birth of Venus—to explore shifting sexual norms. From Poland’s surprising progressive past to the impact of Catholicism and Communism on modern views, we unpack how attitudes towards sex, LGBTQ+ rights, and taboos have evolved. Featuring insights from historian Emily Shartrand, this episode is a deep dive into pleasure, politics, and the past.
