Betwixt The Sheets: The History of Sex, Scandal & Society

Sex in Ancient Egypt

How did the Ancient Egyptians differ from us? In many ways they did, but in terms of sexuality, perhaps not so much.  As we’ll find out, they were certainly partial to a filthy poem.  Taking us on a journey back to this ancient world is Egyptologist Sarah Parcak. Amongst other things, she talks us through the <a href="https://i0.wp.com/culturacolectiva.com/wp-content/uploads/images/S75ZMF6I55EJDNLZVNDRE2TTSU.jpg?ssl=1" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Turin Papyrus</a> - possibly the oldest depiction of human sexuality we have.  This episode was edited by Tom Delargy.

Join sex historian Kate Lister on Betwixt the Sheets as she gets intimate with the stories that would make your history teacher blush. What were the Victorians really like behind closed (bedroom) doors? How did the Black Death favour women in medieval England? And what was Caesar like in the sack?  She'll be bed-hopping around different time periods; from ancient civilisations, to the middle ages, to renaissance and early modern...right up to now. You’ll laugh, you’ll wince, and you’ll ask yourself how much has actually changed. So join Kate Betwixt the Sheets: The History of Sex, Scandal &amp; Society - a podcast from History Hit.
