Napoleon would literally instruct Josephine "I'm coming in 3 days, don't wash".

Tha drawers underneath are split for convenience

Uh, no. It was mainly because of syphilis.

You can cure that with malaria though

I’m not giving up gin and tonics for that though.

So far as I know they washed themselves, they just stopped going to communal bath houses.

[–] krooklochurm@lemmy.ca 11 points 1 month ago

This would apply more to the 18th/17th centuries.

You think your unwashed dick smells any better?

Apparently English men were partly mad abojt vikings because they’d show up bathed and well-groomed and would take their wives. They told on themselves and didn’t get it.

[–] CitizenKong@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yep, also Napoleon was bathing every day and it was thought to be weird at the time.

That seems like a highly appropriate post for a person using the handle 'double suck'.

Men these days can be squeamish about giving a woman oral. My brother in Christ, imagine being a crusading knight and licking some unwashed heretic puss

[–] rumschlumpel@feddit.org 27 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Frankly, I have a hard time imagining crusading knights as keen on performing oral.

[–] Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net 7 points 1 month ago

You just never read about the Australian ones.

[–] Bronzebeard@lemmy.zip 21 points 1 month ago

They literally pissed in the corner while wearing those things. Full access, no need to undress

[–] Microw@piefed.zip 15 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Thats more an 18th century thing than a 19th century thing, I'd assume

[–] JamBandFan1996@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 month ago

Depends where you are

[–] hOrni@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago

Eh... I'd still smash.

You think you would be wealthy enough for all those fancy clothes with many buttons?

[–] TWeaK@lemmy.today 8 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I was listening to the podcast You're Dead to Me, and they kind of covered this in a recent episode. Basically in the olden days you wouldn't undo all 650 buttons, or maybe even any buttons, as people would have sex pretty much fully clothed. You'd almost never see a fully naked women, and in fact full nudity was seen as more promiscuous than sex.

So they'd basically just lift up the dress, and you probably wouldn't even smell much with how much clothes were between your nose and her genitals.

Ladies would use talc infused with asbestos and lead to keep fresh down below.
