Pretty sure you could find oral and anal sex throughout human history with non-prostitute intimate partners, just maybe not all of them or at least varying rates depending on the era.
Some women and men love these sexual acts so it seems like they would pursue them even in the past. Maybe people are more open to admitting that they engage in these activities than those folks in the past, as well.
- chaostheory 11y agoMaybe you can find plenty of this before the Dark Ages, but after that - I'm not so sure especially once Victorian culture starts to spread.
- Scarblac 11y agoEspecially since without contraception, vaginal sex would have been an issue even inside marriages (given that not everybody would have wanted continuous pregnancies).
- riffraff 11y agoYou are undoubtedly right that these things have always happened, but the rate changed drastically since the 19th century. Keep in mind that even plain premarital sex for women was a taboo until very recently.
