With emphasis that seems to continually be on bigger, faster, and more, the slow sensuality of bygone eras seem to fade into the background, denying them a real chance to shine in the spotlight. Besides the well-known Indian text called the Kama Sutra, many cultures and lands offer secrets, tips, and tricks that are both interesting and, in some cases, still perfect to use today! These sexy predecessors of the modern lover were no strangers to the arts of love, and left behind tantalizing glimpses in art and literature.
The Romans, for instance, were no stranger to bathing together – an intimate, relaxing act that opens the senses and promotes an erotic mood. The Egyptians knew the power of a good piece of lingerie – they associated blue fishnet dresses with fertility, painting their lips and faces up before strolling around town. Ever hear of that old adage that an athlete should avoid getting frisky before a game? That belief is a modern echo of an ancient Chinese belief that orgasm drained (temporarily, thankfully!) the life energy, and so should be avoided before important tasks.
History isn’t as boring as it seems! Pick up a book and start delving into historical erotica – you won’t believe what your ancestors have been up to.
