1. The best medicine ... in the 19th century

According to sex museums, vibrators were first intended to treat women with “hysteria” during the 19th century. It has to be said that the concept of this disease has been changing throughout history. During classicism, a mad person was to be respected and was closest to God. But when man was finally separated from the maker and was put into the role of creating life, the mad (wo)men ended up in mental institutions. The vibrator was used as a medical accessory and supposedly helped the doctors treat the symptoms of hysteria and anxiety in women.

2. Sperm does wonders

Because it contains zinc and calcium, it helps prevent the decay of dental enamel!

3.The bunny icon

The Playboy icon is known for two meanings: it symbolizes excellent results and an unusual smile on the face. Women's Health magazine uncovered that this strange bunny smile is in fact the consequence of a conservative Japanese tradition. Japanese consumers rejected the production of sexual accessories for a long time because the bunny shape was too similar to the male sexual organ. And that’s why they eventually added the smile (the part above the bow) - to please the Japanese.

4. The average length of a Japanese man’s penis is...?

If we are to trust statistics, then a white man visiting Japan is pretty much the same as a black man in Europe. The average length of an erected penis is supposedly 5 inches, while the length in its soft state is 3 inches on average.

5. Sad but true

The next sentence is definitely not humorous. In the USA, the home of democracy, the American psychiatric society has been treating homosexuality as a “sickness, a mental disease” ever since 1973.

6. Paraphrasing the military slogan ”Support our Troops” in ”Put it on before you put it in”

Nowadays, the American administration is infamously screaming that their army deserves the full support of the public, but during the second world war they operated under a different slogan. The slogan “Put it on before you put it in” (before you start poking, put a condom on) clearly shows that the American administration was aware that besides bloodlust, rape is a very common occurrence in war time. The problems of such behavior were evident. Many soldiers became infected with sexually transmitted diseases. The treatment for these diseases cost America several million dollars.

7. Hating to exercise

The much lauded regular exercise can be substituted with sex. Half an hour of intense sex will rid you of 200 calories. What’s more, because of the feeling of appeasement, the pleasure will be divided among 2 people.

8. Stimulating with underwear

Burlesque costumes, the desire of every man, have just now become sexy. This means that their original intent was anything but sexy. According to Dita von Teese, who does a satirical performance on high fashion and according to sex museums, the bottom parts of fine female underwear were originally created as “pubic wigs” for 15th century prostitutes. The shape of the design served to hide the symptoms of syphilis. Nowadays sexy latex underwear has a totally different meaning.

9. Homicide in Hong Kong

In case an adult man is caught cheating, he’s in for much more than financial compensation for the trouble he’s caused. A woman who feels betrayed has a legitimate right to kill her man. But be careful! She may kill him only with her bare hands.

10. Prohibition of “Southern comfort”!

Do you know the distilled drink “Southern comfort”? This comfort is not allowed on a sexual level by the governments in the American states Alabama and Mississippi. There’s a ban on selling sexual accessories, in particular vibrators.
