In France in the 1500s, wives could charge their husbands with impotence. He would have to become erect and show he could ejaculate in a courtroom. If he failed, he could demand a trial by congress and attempt to have sex with his wife before them. (As in, in front of them - not that they all tried afterwards!)

Few sexy true fun facts

Semen is good for your teeth, it contains Zinc and Calcium which fights tooth decay

There is roughly 1000 recognised euphenisums for 'vagina' in the English language lol

The longer a mans "ring" finger is compared to his index finger the more testosterone he has

The soft tissue that make up the walls of the vagina is the same texture as the inside of your cheeks, thats why oral feels so good for a guy cause its the closest thing that mimics intercourse

Heres some tip facts as well

stroke a guys inner thighs during oral, as the area is close to his package it will increase blood flow heighting the sensation

The top of the breasts are more sensitive than the bottom of the breasts...

also all breasts have the same amount of nerve endings, women with larger boobs spread the nerves further apart than women with smaller boobs which have the nerves closer together which means smaller boobs more sensitive than larger ones

Hope you like these facts

Infamous Texan preacher, Jed 'Hell-fire' McGrath, unexpectedly burst into flames during one of his 'Hell-fire and Damnation' tours of Utah in 1974. Despite claims of divine censorship from his many critics within the hippy 'Free Love' community the reason for his spontaneus human combustion was finally traced to three unfortunate factors: cheap aftershave, a polyester suit and an electrical fault on his microphone.
