    I sincerely wonder how the proportion of good to terrible lays has changed over the years. Without having taken anatomy, I would have had an extremely rough time of it as a teen, so I imagine first times have generally improved since the 1800s. Feelings on consent and purpose have shifted massively since then as well.

    Would hundo Benny care at all about the enjoyment of his partner or is he going in dry and blasting in seconds?

      Didnt Ben Franklin have a basement filled with bones because of a dissection school he ran? I don’t know that it would have helped his performance in bed but the man definitely had some anatomy lessons along the way.

        The man had firsthand experience with live women as well. Enough to question whether he contracted syphilis, in the very least.

      don’t think education level is correlated to sexual performance. in fact it’s likely the opposite. would you rather spend the night sexually with a PhD or someone who didn’t graduate high school?

        There are diminishing returns, however, knowing that the glans/clitoris exists leaves you a world apart from someone who doesn’t. The gulf between a partner who knows how to operate the glans or clitoris and someone who doesn’t is just as vast. Taking information for granted is for sillies.

        Your examples aren’t directly relevant, but graduating with a PhD usually requires 18+ years post-birth so I’m picking the one least likely to be illegal. Gimme that neurotic lay. Whisper non-Newtonian fluid dynamics softly so that only I can hear.
