The 10 Strangest Ancient/Outdated Sex Beliefs

In the early 20th century, one "old wives' tale" went: if a woman sneezed after sex, she would expel the semen from her body and would not get pregnant. Well, beliefs were even weirder before we came upon something wonderful that we like to call "medical science". Here are 10 weird sex beliefs from a time when if you didn't know something about science, you'd just make it up.

    We're All Just God's Semen

    3150 BC - 31 BC

    "In the beginning, God created the universe. At first the earth was shapeless and covered in darkness, and God's spirit hovered over the waters. God said, "Let there be light." And there was light." And there was a bunch of other stuff too that culminated into a six day period of creation and a single day of rest. That's the Christian story of Creation.

    Care to know about the ancient Egyptian story? That one's a bit simpler. You see Chaos, the God of creation, got a little frisky one day and decided to m********e. The result of the masturbation was the creation of the other Gods from his ejaculate. Since everything was started from that, we're all just God's semen.

    It's not so different from the Christian version. I always take care to make my sperm in my own image.

    Really? Friday? The day named after Venus. Oh, that's probably why.

    Now who's the fool trying to fool around while the baby is drinking from the nipple right there?

      And of course Friday's the Jewish Sabbath, almost forgot.

      I bet few people actually observed the 'no naked sex' rule. If there's ever a time TO be naked..

    No one except base prostitutes performed oral sex. To do so was to shame yourself. No respectable Greek would want his wife to do such a thing.

      Strangely, there are no pictures of the penis parades that took place in ancient Greece so this was brought in as a substitute.
