Historical Characters, Including Frederick the Great, Discussion Post 39

[cahn]

Last post, along with the usual 18th-century suspects, included the Ottonians; changing ideas of conception and women's sexual pleasure; Isabella of Parma (the one who fell in love, and vice versa, with her husband's sister); Henry IV and Bertha (and Henry's second wife divorcing him for "unspeakable sexual acts"). (Okay, Isabella of Parma was 18th century.)

Who is she, he asked, "who would prefer an annoying little squirt to a sweet, pleasant, virile instrument and then abstain from the use of the latter for nine whole months, just to test the thesis of a philosopher?"

Ha ha ha! I wonder if he had tried that as a pick-up line. "Who are you to abstain from my sweet, pleasant, virile instrument?".

OMG, right?? (I laughed pretty hard, both at the original quote and and your response.)
