The level of sass in this historical caption is amazing. Even more amazing some people don’t get it.
WheresYourSister

Well as it said later in the excerpt, friends or a mistress and servant away from home would often share s bed. So it COULD be innocent.
Evanrudeplz
Is this history brought to you by the Christian church???
Kittyswitch

Kind of like my aunt who never married and lives with a roommate who also never married even though both of them make plenty of money.

That title, tho. I see you're a man of culture as well.

It says fish-women in the text it’s kinda a dead giveaway.

Imwalkenhere
They are probably making the bed/changing the sheets
Julianator91
And of course naked so they don't start to sweat
VaticRegok
Only possible thing they could be doing
Awmph
"fish-women" is that what the kids were calling it in those days?

We laugh, but every single generation seems to believe the only kind of sex the generations before them had was straight vanilla missionary.
friendsofsandwiches
What about the romans? I mean, didn't Orgy come from them? And Toga Party?
Gremlynn4023
Not me. I found my grandfather's box of smut novels when I was 12. Some of the shit I read in those STILL haunts me.
Copperbrat
In college I rented a room from this sweet little pie-baking great-granny lady. I read one of hers once and it made my hair curl.
Wisperer
except the Greeks. They were gay as fuck.
Copperbrat
Ever look around at all your older relatives at a family reunion and wonder which of them takes it up the butt? Me neither.
combatwombat0
Even the term missionary comes from the history of european missionaries going around and telling native americans that this is the 1
combatwombat0
Only allowed way to have sex. So yeah their sex lives back then were probably cooler than we give credit for 2

I'm not sure what you're implying. Everyone knows lesbianism wasn't invented until 1973.

Sappho didn't live on the Isle of Lesbos to be forgotten like this
RoombaTheAssaultVacuum
It's only lesbianism if you are from the lesbianism region of france. Otherwise it's 'sparkling gay.'
LordSparklebutt
Yes in January 1973 at Kent State by feminist pioneers Jane Lesb and Annie Anism brought their legs together.
FlissFloss86Gaming
That was a good year. Great even
sumo41
They didn't pay their gay tax so they got cut off
NordMan
Please. Fanny Hill was published in 1748
CruelIrony2718
I remember hearing somewhere that the first noted lesbian came from the Greek isle of Lesbos like a 1000+ years ago.
Rodrodington1
I mean Boston marriages were a known thing, but who am I to judge art historians.
Rogahar
The genetic 'Adam' aka common male ancestor lived 100,000 years ago while 'Eve' was 200,000 years ago. So one can only assume, to quote >
Rogahar
> Stephen Fry, that the world before Adam's arrival was one of heavy to industrial-strength lesbianism.
Rodrodington1
The industrial revolution wasn't until the 1910s
CaldariBob
Bitch, please. Industrial started in the mid-1970s.
archwaykitten
Pretty sure it was in '69

TheJustOkayGatsby
Heyo
SteelyDad
No, Lesbianism was invented in the 1920’s, The “69” was invented in 1969, which was a very good year for Lesbians.
TheJustOkayGatsby
I mutually accept that answer
CravinPynaple
And unless it comes from the Lesbos region of France it's just sparkling homosexuality
ThePunishersVengefulBrother
You son of a bitch. You stole my joke
OptimisticMisanthrope
A+ joke, but let's be honest the dudes have cornered the market on sparkling homosexuality.
zanli
And sparkling vampirism too.

Technically Greece...

"The Greeks invented sex, the Italians realized you could also have it with women"
CaldariBob
Like much of the rest of Greek history being looted by colonial powers, the French took lesbianism
CaldariBob
...and still refuse to return it, despite requests from Athens.
MightyZephyr
Margaret Lesbian invented in 1971. She didn't file for a patent until 1973
Andtheworldwentwhite
She was trying to iron out the kinks....wasn't very successful but due to pressure from some stiff competition she came out with the patent.
CongratsYouAreHereNow
before then, it was simply Tithawking. in which women would "hawk" each other's breasts, like chickens pecking at insects
Goku2012
Ahh ol' Marge Lesbian. Also inventor of the scissors. Oddly enough, the real kind.
