The Early Christian Church called it "the worst evil," punishable by seven years of penance and fasting (murder was one year). The ancient Greeks and Romans considered it degrading to both parties yet depicted it prolifically in art and literature. This book explores its history as well as its impact on world events.. A Victorian handbook for young brides advised how to "dampen his desire to kiss in forbidden territory." Attitudes about oral sex have varied through the centuries and across cultures--a death sentence in some nations, a religious practice in others. Nearly all of the 13 original American colonies had laws against it--except Georgia
