10 Fascinating and Funny Facts About Sex

By Jessica Raymond

Therapist & Dating Coach

Who doesn’t enjoy an interesting scientific fact every now and then? After all, this is Love Learnings …

And in this post, it’s all about SEX. In particular, FACTS about sex!

1. Early Condoms Were Made of Linen or Animal Intestines

Early condoms, mainly from China or Japan, were made of many different and unusual materials. Typically, they only covered the head of the penis, not the entire thing. (Also, really, how effective would a linen condom be? Better not try it out unless you’re ready to start a family!).

A smiling dolphin2. Dolphins and Bonobo Chimpanzees Have Sex For Fun

These are the only other species (aside from humans) that are known to engage in sexual intercourse for pleasure.

3. A 25-Minute Session of Vigorous Sex Can Burn Over 150 Calories

That makes it a good replacement for the treadmill — and significantly more fun!

4. In Victorian England, Prostitutes Wore Merkins (pubic hair wigs) to Hide Syphillis

 They also shaved their actual pubic hair to avoid lice. Ah, the good ole days.

5. It Takes Two Tablespoons of Blood for an Erection

That’s not much, considering that a single blood donation is usually 2 pints of blood.

6. The “G Spot” Is Named After Dr. Ernest Grafenberg

Was he lucky, or are there millions of men angry that he discovered something they have yet to find?

Two halves of an avocado7. Aztecs Considered Avocados to be Incredibly Sexually Powerful

So powerful, in fact, that virgins were restricted from contact with them. (That’s … odd?).

8. A Man Will Ejaculate 500 Billion Sperm in His Life

That’s half a trillion sperm over the course of 50 years. Wow!

9. Sexual Intercourse Release Endorphins Making sex an Effective Painkiller

And to think that many people have used “a headache” as an excuse to get out of sex. Scratch that off the list!

10. Oral Sex Was Illegal in Canada Until 1969

As a result, it’s likely that the majority of the adult Canadian population regularly committed an illegal act prior to 1969. Then there’s that whole 69 thing …

Well, did you learn something new about sex?
