"History of Sex"

Is anyone watching the "History of Sex" series on the History channel. I've happened upon it a couple of times.

The first one concentrated on sex in ancient east countries and all about Tantra.

Last night's episode had to do with the Middle Ages. It's interesting to note that the Catholic Church supported prostitution during this time as a necessary evil. It was believed that men were filled with so much libido that they simply had to have this outlet for sex or they'd committ adultery and rape. This safely regulated them.

Also in Renaissance, prostitution was seen as a remedy to homosexuality. Hmmmm.

Check it out if you can and let me know what you think.
Very interesting stuff.

Take care,
Leslie

Leslie,

I've seen most of the segments of this program and have watched The War, also, on PBS. A lot of the info that I put in my forum posts comes from whatching these shows.
They are not only entertaining but educational as well. On my forum post Political Poll, The War, is where I got my information about the Bouns Army, in Washington, D.C., which led to the formation of the Veteran's Administration.
The History Channel, also, has a great many programs and is where I learned about the history of the DEA and drug laws.

The History of Sex is where I got my info about Genral Hooker, after whom "hookers" were given that name. I replied to Sally Munro's blog; "Hookers, whores and prostitutes" with that info.
