In the 16th and 17th century, people believed that during intercourse a man's blood turned into semen. This led many physicians to recommend that men limit their number of ejaculations.
Poets sometimes described sexual relations as little deaths---"Oh, I die, I die" was a standard poetic conceit for orgasm.
Speaking of sexy writers, James Joyce wrote a series of extremely dirty love letters to his girlfriend Nora Barnacle in 1909...
If you are looking for a way to spice up your dull sex life, read Joyce's letters as one large instruction manual. Also great for the couples who love role-playing!
