The Things You Didnt Know About Sex
THE LONG AND THE SHORT:
According to the Kinsey Institute, the biggest erect penis on
record measures 13 inches. The smallest tops off at 1 3/4 inches.
HOTDOG HELPERS:
The Caramoja tribe of northern Uganda tie a weight on the end of
their penises to elongate them--sometimes to such a degree that the
men literally have to knot them up--while the Mambas of New Hebrides
wrap theirs in yards and yards of cloth, making them look up to 17
inches long.
DOUBLE TROUBLE
In 1609, a doctor named Wecker found a corpse in Bologna with two
penises. Since then, there have been eighty documented cases of men
similarly endowed.
SO LONG THE NIGHT:
Among the Mangaians of Polynesia, 18-year-old couples make love an
avaerage of three times a night, every night, until their thirties,
when the weekly average drops to a mere 14.
FAST LANE:
The maximum speed at which erotic sensations travel from skin to
brain has been clocked at 156 miles per hour.
COITUS SEMI-INTERRUPTUS:
A honeymooning couple are suing Holiday Inn for ten thousand
dollars, claiming their sex life is now dysfunctional because an
employee mistakenly walked in on them on their wedding night.
LES LIAISONS DANGEREUSES:
At least 500 Americans die each year from asphyxia in an attempt to
lessen oxygen flow to the brain in order to induce a more powerful
orgasm.
NOBLESSE OBLIGE:
England's King Edward VII, a man of considerable heft, had a
special table built so that he could comfortably engage in sexual
intercourse.
It was considered elegant for aristocratic ladies of the sixteenth
century to let their pubic hair grow as long as possible so it could
be pomaded and adorned with bows and ribbon.
In fourteenth-century Europe, high-ranking noblemen were permitted
to display their genitals below a short tunic, while those not
impressively endowed could, if they chose, wear a leather falsie
called a braquette.
MISSIONARIES TAKE NOTE:
Given today's average frequency of sexual intercourse, it would
take the typical American couple more than four years to try every one
of the 529 positions described in the Kama Sutra.
GALLIC WAY OF DEATH:
French President Francois Faure expired in a bordello in 1899
during the act of copulation, which so terrified his lady of the
evening that her vagina constricted intractably, necessitating the
surgical removal of the dead man's member.
JUST SAY HOWDY:
When men of the Walibri tribe of central Australia greet each
other, they shake penises instead of hands.
BONBON MOTS:
"There may be some things that are better than sex, and their may
be some things that are worse. But their is nothing exactly like it."
