So from Roman times through 16th century Christian Europe, the female body was tied to sin.

And then later, Victorian era medicine treated female sexuality as a disorder.

And shame was used as control and eventually to sell feminine products.

So extreme sexual repression continued into the 20th century.

But the late 20th century finally cracked the door open on talking about female reproductive health.

And the 21st century keeps pushing it, right?

So there's things like the vagina monologues and nonstop political fights over women's bodies that have become mainstream.

But there's this centuries-long taboo we're still shaking off.

Yeah, Jordan, whatever you're into.

We're not shaming here.

But yeah, not that long ago, there were modesty laws, corsets and this whole chastity culture.

So women were literally shackled.

So a kid with a mirror is not the weird problem.

But it's also tying you up.

And so it's keeping you unavailable.

Yeah, it's harder to get to the skin, so you can't be as loose.

It was definitely meant to keep women in line.

Yeah, I've been walking through the red light district in Amsterdam and it's part of it.
