Behind the Russell scandal lay a nation's spectacular ignorance about women's bodies and pleasure. One of Britain's foremost historians of gender and sexuality, Professor Lucy Bland joins Alice Levine and Matt Forde to uncover the bizarre sexual myths of the interwar period, from forgotten scientific knowledge to dangerous fertility advice. Plus: how the war changed women's sexuality, why this terrified society, and Professor Bland's favourite historical euphemism for sex.Do you have a suggestion for a scandal you would like us to cover?
