Lawrence Sperry, who invented airplanes’ autopilot functon, once crashed after giving a socialite a flying lesson. After the pair were found naked on the ground, Sperry insisted winds from the crash stripped them down. Even with this denial, he is considered to have invented the Mile High Club.
2.
“When then President of Indonesia Soekarno visited the Soviet Union the KGB thought that it would be a good idea to send a honey trap. They hired two escorts to "entertain" him and recorded the acts using a spy camera. When blackmailed President Soekarno laughed at the agents and asked them to send him the tapes so that he can watch it back home.”
3.
“A couple of NASA interns several years ago stole a huge number of moonrocks brought back during the Apollo missions, spread them out on a motel bed and had sex on them, just so they could say they’d had sex on the Moon.”
4.
“Victorians drank blood and ate mummies they brought from Egypt for medicinal purposes.”
5.
“Raphael, the Renaissance painter the Ninja Turtle is named after, [is alleged to have] died after having sex with his mistress for an entire day without stopping.”
6.
“Victor Hugo was so popular with Parisian prostitutes that most brothels in Paris closed down for a day of mourning and many SWs stood outside to pay tribute.”
7.
“James Joyce had quite the fart fetish and immortalised it in some very dirty letters to his wife Nora. I don't remember much at all of Ulysses from school but God do I remember the letters.”
8.
“The heart shaped seeds of the Silphium plant is why we associate hearts with romance. Besides being used in food and medicine, Silphium was one of the first genuinely effective birth control. It's believed the Romans drove it to extinction.”
9.
“In 1970, beloved children's poet Shel Silverstein recorded an album of perverse, obscene songs that became known as the 'Fuck 'Em' demos. The full recording is lost to this day.”
10.
“‘Love Hotels’ were one of Nintendo's first products”
11.
“In Ancient Pompeii, the way they would direct you towards the nearest brothel was with a dick engraved into the pavement and walls pointing the way towards it. The engravings survived the volcanic eruption, so if you go to Pompeii today you will find the paths literally paved with dicks.”
12.
“TIL Nancy Reagan was known in Hollywood for giving the best blowjob, according to Kitty Kelley's biography of her. She was known as ‘just-say-yes Nancy’ and was quite popular on the MGM lot.”
13.
“[The] creator of Wonder Woman was in a throuple that involved his first wife and his student. They were heavily into bondage which inspired early iterations of the super heroine. Throuple lasted 22 years all the way to his death.”
14.
“Tipper Gore wanted to put a Parental Advisory sticker on Twisted Sister’s album, because of her own dirty mind. She thought ‘Under the Blade’ was about masochism and bondage.”
15.
“In ancient Greece, athletes used to compete in the Olympics completely naked. Imagine training your whole life, only to have your legacy reduced to 'the guy who dropped the javelin… and everything else…”
16.
“TIL that Lyndon Baines Johnson named his penis ‘Jumbo’, and would often show it to his staff.”
17.
“Mary Shelley, the author of Frankenstein, apparently lost her virginity on her mother’s grave.”
18.
“Catherine the Great of Russia had a room in her palace filled with erotic furniture.”
19.
“In 1993 Prince Charles told Camilla in a bugged phone conversation that he 'wanted to be her tampon.’”
20.
“Same-sex relationships were socially acceptable in the Ancient Rome and same-sex marriages were legal.”
21.
“There is a historical belief that the ancient Egyptian pharaohs would perform a ritual in the NILE River to promote its fertility, which involved a personal act (jack off).”
