What is ‘good’ sex? Why might you need to get your protractor out in the bedroom? And when was foreplay ‘invented’?
In this episode, Kate is getting sex advice from Sarah Jones. From handbooks to hardbacks, Sarah shares the different advice that men and women of different backgrounds would receive.
Sarah is a social and cultural historian of gender and sexuality at the University of Bristol.
