Welcome to the conclusion of our history of sex series! For part two, Laurel snags her best friend, Kelly, to join the Smoke Circle. If you can't chat about sex's incredibly long history with your bestie, who can you talk to?!
In part two, we pick it up in the Age of Enlightenment and finish it out in the present day, discussing the attitudes and practices around sex found in these different eras in time. In addition, our community on social media voted for further getting into bed with other sexual topics like aphrodisiacs, sexual science, erotica and pornography, sex work, contraception and sexual hygiene.
Get cozy--with yourself or someone you love--and join us in the Smoke Circle for a wild ride through sexual history!
