Taking history in school means learning about things like how various government bodies and wars helped shape the world into what it is today. Learning history from this show means hearing about the fun stuff -- how sex has impacted the way people govern, learn and do just about everything. The program traces the history of sexuality from ancient Greece to current America and tells stories that include the Puritans' "mandatory sex" law for married couples, Ben Franklin's racy newspapers, and how the world's oldest profession -- you know the one -- was a launching pad for the most powerful woman in the history of the Roman empire.
