Victorian mores
Victorian sex factoids
We were talking about Victorian attitudes and the prevalence of them in US Society at the turn of the 20th century (how we got to this topic is a whole other story in itself). Luckily we didn't go into many of the topics descibed in this page at work.
Its interesting the number of urban legends which are believed as fact according to this source: wife-beating, clitoridectomy, and the origin of a 'Prince Albert'.

There's a great book I read a couple years ago, called The New Victorians, which talks about a resurgence of Victorian-style morality disguised as feminism....

Hmm. That might be interesting to read. I'll admit, I don't think that sleeping around w/o knowledge and consent of your partner should happen, in a perfect world. I guess I see it differently as it appears to me as a breach of contract matter.
OTOH, thanks to the History Channel, I saw that vibrators were first invented in the Victorian era. But you had to go to a doctor to use them. Thanks, but no. Those hospital gowns are annoyingly uncomfortable.
