5The sad truth

While this sex fact is neither entertaining nor humorous, it's shocking to note that homosexuality remained on the American Psychiatric Association's list of mental illnesses until 1973.

6Protect our troops

Today the government issues "Support our Troops" paraphernalia; however government-issued brochures and videos featured a slightly different slogan during the WWII era – "Don't forget – Put it on before you put it in." During World War II, many soldiers returned home with venereal diseases, costing the government millions of dollars in medical expenses.

7Work it

Hate the gym? You burn about 200 calories during 30 minutes of active sex.

8What a tease!

Burlesque costumes are the epitome of sexy – think Dita Von Teese and lingerie; however, a few centuries ago, the outfits had a slightly different purpose. According to the Museum of Sex, merkins (the bottom half of burlesque costumes) were originally created as "pubic wigs" for 15th century prostitutes. The designs helped hide pubic lice and syphilis symptoms. Make sure to share this information with your boyfriend the next time he heads to Vegas with the boys.

9Justice is served

In Hong Kong, adulterous husbands get more than a steep monthly alimony payment – a betrayed wife is legally allowed to kill her husband if he cheats on her – but she may only do so with her bare hands.

10What ever happened to Southern comfort?

The sale of sex toys and vibrators is banned in Alabama and Mississippi.

Hitting the gym is important to have a healthy sex life. You can't enjoy different positions if you are not agile enough.

Vibrators and other sex toys are growing in popularity. Women are being more open about their use. Thanks for the great facts!

Actually, number 10 isn't a lie. It became illegal just recently and they're still working on shutting the stores down. I do Slumber Parties and our distributors have been fighting this issue for the last few years. We label everything as "novelty use only" just for this reason, but in some towns, they still make things very rough for us! We've squeeked by because we conduct our shows in the privacy of our hostesses' home.

ladies we all know that if they made that a legal law in the united states we would have a dramatic decrease in our population due to the fact that in the united states there are so many unfaithfull men. all though a decrease wouldnt be such a bad thing.
