What an excellent introduction to interesting sex facts through history.

It was a detailed and conversational look at the history of sex, kink, and the historical figures that participated. Some figures were a little shocking, but that's part of the fun. I listened to the audiobook, which the author read. It felt like I was listening to her TikTok stories that drew me to getting her book.

Started listening on a little bike ride in Sweden and finished quite a few months later.

A very fun, flirty and informative narrative on how ideas, kinks, and practices that are or have been long considered taboo and unspeakable have actually been openly embraced by some of historys most discussed civilizations and notable people.

It's funny- a book with sex I can read quickly. But a book about the history of sex? It takes a bit longer to read. This book is incredibly sense, with tons of history, statistics, and personal anecdotes

Kinky History was a fantastic read! I loved the format - the story being told as if the reader is a guest at a dinner party, and joined by all the people who influenced the cultural idea of sex.

It's absolutely fascinating that the reason we have silicone based sex toys is because a man, who was paralyzed, wanted to be able to engage in sex with his partner. I would have loved to read more about that.


I recommend this book!
