A Curious History of Sex author: Meet Sex Historian Dr. Kate Lister

Historian Kate Lister - author of A Curious History of Sex and Harlots, Whores and Hackabouts joins us to talk about international commerce - only kidding - we are, of course, talking about SEX. Professor Lister is a Dr. of Literature and History and Senior Lecturer at Leeds Trinity Univ. in the UK. Ms Erika asks about BDSM and kinky sex. Dr. Kate talks about what might (or might not) be one of the oldest representations called the Tomb of the Whipping. This leads to an interesting conversation about how kinkiness has changed over the years. Which era and location was kink heavy? Here’s a hint, it’s called the English Vice. Ms Olivia shares that she calls a woman a cuntwaffle when she’s mad but reading A Curious History of Sex made her rethink her use of the word cunt. This brings up a conversation about language and reclaiming words like bitch and slut. Dr. Kate has a website called Whores of Yore and a twitter account of the same name. As the ladies talk about this Ms Olivia asks a questions and is gobsmacked by the answer. This episode (and the one next week) has history, current events, naughty stories, behind the scenes info about sex work and so much more!
