#8 Prostitution is not illegal in Sweden, but soliciting a prostitute is!

In other words, you can get in trouble for buying sex in Sweden, but not for selling it. The policy, first introduced in 1999, has greatly altered both prevailing attitudes toward the practice and the demand for prostitution within the country. With this sort of view, prostitutes are seen as exploited victims and commodities within the sex industry, as opposed to considering them to be willful perpetrators. This stance, in addition to harsher penalties for pimps and brothel keepers, has helped to reduce the number of Swedish prostitutes by 40% in a period of 5 years - from 2,500 in 1998 to just 1,500 individuals in 2003!

#9 In Jamaica, an erotic dance called “daggering” was banned from TV after causing broken penises!

Daggering is an erotic dance where couples simulate dry sex in different positions to the beat of the music. Doctors began issuing a warning, though, when couples took the dance to the bedroom.

Men have had disastrous results from the activity with many incurring fractured penises. The dance has been around for years in the clubs, but was finally given a name. Many say it is a very degrading dance for women and extremely rough.

#10 Women dream about sex as often as men do.

Regardless of whether men spend more of their waking hours thinking about sex, a 2007 study found that they are no more likely to dream about sex than women. However, the type of sex dreams that participants had varied by gender. Women are more likely to dream about sex with celebrities, exes, and current partners. Men are more likely to dream about having multiple partners, and 90% of men’s sex dreams involve women initiating sex.

A later study came to a much different conclusion. A dream study in 2009 found that men’s dreams feature more reference to sexual activity and more sexual intercourse, while women’s dreams feature more kissing and sexual fantasies about other dream characters. In addition to having fewer sexually explicit dreams, the women in this study were also stuck with having more nightmares!

#11 Roman prostitutes were easily recognizable by their heels!

In Ancient Rome, prostitution was not illegal. Not only was sex trade allowed, it was very easy to identify who was ready to sell it. The way you could tell a prostitute was by their shoe-ware. Prostitutes were the only women who wore high heels!

#12 Want to lower your sex drive? Keep licorice handy

Licorice has been used a lot for medicinal effect. Herbalists use it to treat the adrenal glands, and Chinese medicine uses it in a variety of treatments. However, it also has another use.

Research has found that when people eat around 25g of licorice, it can affect sex drive. Licorice contains Glycerrhizinic Acid. This acid inhibits the liver's ability to deactivate cortisol incirculation. The result of this is that the cortisol levels rise, and that reduces the action of testosterone. This in turn, reduces sex drive.

#13 After sex, some men experience sadness and regret, which is known as Post-coital tristesse!

PCT is a feeling of melancholy after having sexual intercourse. PCT is more common in men than it is in women. Many sufferers of PCT also feel strong anxiety for five minutes to two hours after sex. The term itself comes from the Latin post-coital and the French tristesse literally meaning sadness after sex. It is also known as depression after sex.

The reason for the sadness is thought to be due to the loss of semen and the exhaustion the body faces after intercourse. Instead of feeling a relief, the body feels weakness and exhaustion. The Latin proverb “omne animal post coital triste” goes along with PCT and means “all animals are sad after sex.”

Aristotle and many other writers and poets have written of post-coital tristesse in their work. The hormone prolactin, used in making breastmilk, is also found in men and shoots sky high right after an orgasm. It skyrockets 400% more during sex than during masturbation, leading scientists to believe that intercourse is much more satisfying than masturbation.

The prolactin plateaus and you feel a lull in your emotions. It can also be an issue faced if one has sex with someone they don’t really care about, because of the intimate connection sex brings.

#14 The menstrual cycles of women who live together tend to synchronize.

This was based on a study on 135 women in a college dorm. Women who lived in the same rooms with different menstrual cycles started syncing their cycles together. What triggers this is actually their pheromones.

Scientists tested this theory out by placing samples of women's sweat under the noses of other female test subjects. Over time, the test subjects' periods started to conform to the women who donated the sweat.

Another thing that can affect a woman's period is being around men. Being around men tends to reduce the length of each period and increase their frequency, and make them more regular.

#15 A Hotel has replaced Bibles in rooms with copies of… 50 Shades of Grey

Bibles in hotels is something you're probably extremely familiar with if you've ever stayed in a hotel. The owner of the Damson Dene Hotel in England, however, decided to upend this tradition for something more… porny.

He replaced the Bibles in his room for copies of international best seller and BDSM soft-porn Fifty Shades of Grey in his hotel's nightstands. The man said he had originally thought about putting the famous Ayn Rand novel Altas Shrugged, but decided on the former Twilight-Fanfiction because it was so popular.

The owner bought this hotel from a Methodist group. He says he hopes that people who are shy about reading the book in public will enjoy having it near their bedsides.

What ONE book would you put in nightstands if you owned a hotel?
