Victorian Sex

About this episode

They’re famously thought of as a buttoned up prudish bunch, but we all know they loved to bump uglies as much as anyone today. 


Were the spanking punishments of boarding schools really the origins of flagellation brothels? Who were the pin-ups of Victorian women? And what did the saucy portrait Queen Victoria gave to Prince Albert look like? 


Today we go Betwixt the Victorian Sheets with Dan Snow, from History Hit sister podcast Dan Snow’s History Hit, to find out all about Victorian Sex.
