Summary

Sex and beds have a long, interwoven history. Here on Betwixt we often cover sex history, but we haven’t done a deep dive into the history of where it’s often done… in bed.

So today we have something a little different for you, here’s an episode all about the history of beds, and it’s a story that will take us from medieval France, to 17th century Hertfordshire and beyond.

It’s an episode from our friends over at the Curious History of Your Home podcast, which you can follow here.

Betwixt the Sheets will be back with its usual programming on Tuesday.
