12 X-rated history facts they didn’t teach you in school.

The past, like the present, was filled with promiscuity and perversion. A recent Reddit thread asked the internet to share some of history&#39;s sexiest stories that somehow didn&#39;t make it into textbooks. We&#39;ve fact-checked them, and according to Google, they&#39;re quite true!1. From CalmerNyouR Wikimedia Commons2. From EnigmaticSquidd Wikimedia Commons3. From cabbage_rectum Wikimedia Commons4.
