The people of ancient Egypt were full of curiosity about human sexuality, so it can be traced back to 1300 BC that there are records of sexual behavior. This information was recorded by them.
The contents of these accounts guide people's reproductive behavior and help to better promote the continuation of human beings.
Ancient scholars' research on sexuality was monotonous and lacking in depth, focusing mainly on the discussion of sexuality itself and more on the summary of experience.
In ancient times, China also conducted research experiments on related behaviors, which is not an isolated case. At that time, people recorded relevant experiences in books, including "The Technique of Room" and so on. Wherever it is.
However, there is a much more in-depth study of sexuality in China, which covers the basic concepts of sexual knowledge, related techniques and methods, and how to enhance the intimate experience of both parties, according to the original text of "Sex in the Room".
The book even points out that some herbs can ** male sexual dysfunction.
goat weed is a Chinese herb that is widely used to improve men's health and enhance sexual function.
It can be seen that at that time, people conducted quite comprehensive research on human sexual knowledge, and this book even covered problems such as female infertility. Even now, it still has reference value.
The research of ancient scholars is not all valuable empirical talk. For example, many people once believed that certain charms could prevent pregnancy, but this belief was unfounded and some books documented it. It is worth mentioning that this point needs to be pointed out.
When we now approach ancient experiments on sexuality, we must sift through the essence and remove the dross.
Conductive experiments, or reasonably occurring***
In the long history of human research behavior, the experiments of ancient people account for only a very small proportion, mainly due to the constraints of human ethics. For this reason, research has been developed intermittently for more than 5,000 years.
Since the rise of modern science, people's minds have gradually opened up, and more and more scientists have begun to focus on the study of human sexuality.
American psychology expert John Watson is one of them, he did not hesitate to pour himself into a relationship with an assistant who was 19 years younger than himself for the psychology of male infidelity and the stimulation of different objects.
John Watson and his assistants.
Watson later recorded the relevant data and wrote a research report based on his personal feelings.
Unfortunately, Watson was caught cheating by his wife before he could publish the report, which led to a big fight between the two and the delay in submitting the report.
Watson thinks his research behavior is reasonable, and he hopes his wife will understand.
His wife was convinced that Watson had just found a plausible excuse for his infidelity and believed that it was just pure infidelity.
His wife soon took Watson to court, causing him to lose not only his disrepute, but also his position as a university professor.
We don't know if the professor was trying to experiment or find a plausible excuse, and his report has been lost to history for various reasons.
He not only conducted relevant infidelity experiments, but also conducted research on the perception of human psychology and sexuality.
At that time, the proliferation of human desires led to the emergence of many venereal diseases, but people seemed to be unaware of the risks that could be brought about by inappropriate sexual behavior, and they still immersed themselves in it.
In an effort to change perceptions, Watson showed people films about the dangers of sexuality in an effort to keep people away from special workers. As a result, people are shunning sex, and even couples are unable to look directly at each other.
Over the decades, this has faded from memory. Watson came to the conclusion that once it comes to issues that are closely related to human life, they will be remembered for a long time.
Spontaneity of behavior.
Of course, Watson's research trials aren't the only surprise, and we're going to see an even more shocking case of patients.
In 1949, the University Hospital of Jena in Germany welcomed a very peculiar patient, who claimed that she was able to achieve the effects of sex through imagination.
She described her condition to the doctor for years, and even began to wonder if she was suffering from ** illness or mental illness.
The attending doctor was in disbelief for a moment, so he asked the patient to demonstrate on the spot how to achieve sexual effects through imagination.
The doctor also fitted the patient with special equipment to monitor her body indicators to determine whether she met the standards for sexual behavior.
The woman quickly stimulated her body with her rich imagination, and the data showed that she experienced a sexual act and reached a "climax" in the process.
However, she didn't do anything and just sat there quietly.
It's unbelievable that humans can have sex without external stimuli
Doctors then conducted several tests, all of which showed a link between imagination and sexuality.
Even the doctor did not know the patient's specific situation, so he could only blame the patient's mental health and recommend that she go to a neurologist.
Neurons in the brain.
The neurologists were also unable to identify the root cause, and the problem itself did not cause her substantial harm, so it could not be resolved.
In addition, scientists have explored the dangers associated with sex, where the danger does not refer to disease, but to the sudden death that can occur when a man and woman engage in sexual activity.
To determine the relationship between sex and sudden death, scientists recruited two groups of couples separately for experiments and recorded their heart rates during the process.
After three trials, the results showed that the average heart rate of the first group was about 148, while the second group was 150.
This heart rate is almost equivalent to the level of a human after strenuous exercise, and once a human heart rate exceeds 130, there is a risk of sudden death, and sex and sudden death are also linked.
This risk of sudden death is not very high for young people, but it can be fatal for older people, which is something to be aware of.
Scientists have concluded that having a "hearty" sexual activity is equivalent to "exercising" on both partners, and that this long-term, regular activity is beneficial to the physical health of both men and women.
By now, many people may be curious: human beings have had a certain need for sex since ancient times, so how did ancient people use contraception?
The method of contraception used by ancient people.
In ancient times, in addition to those contraceptive methods that sought the protection of the Buddha and gods, there were also many scientific contraceptive methods.
The ancient Egyptians used to mix crocodile feces with honey and alkali to make sperm arrest plugs, and a small amount of this substance was stuffed into the female body to effectively prevent sperm from entering the woman's body.
Crocodile feces are alkaline and have the effect of killing part of the sperm that enters the woman's body, while substances such as honey, resin, etc., act as a hindrance and lubrication, which is the reason for this.
Of course, the harm to women is very serious, and if there are too many related substances left in the body, it is easy to cause diseases.
In addition, it has been found that the frescoes in the ruins of ancient Egypt depict the early *** situation, but it is difficult to confirm their authenticity, perhaps it is just a fantasy of the ancient Egyptians.
The topic of sexuality is unavoidable for all living beings, and we should not deliberately avoid it because it is difficult to talk about it, on the contrary, there are aspects that we should value to ensure the healthy development of human beings.
