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.)

Re: Nancy Goldstone has nothing on this one...

Lol! Okay, I will keep this in mind, thank you for the write-up! The orgasm poem and Mitchell offering feedback on it is something I've idly thought about before.

Of course, we all know I'm not writing anything this year (I got 4 hours of sleep last night and have now been awake for 21 hours), but who can know what next year holds! I have this idea that maybe, someday, I'll be able to read Germany comfortably and then I can let my brain focus on other things.
