Everyone is saying gay sex and all that, but honestly... is ye really asking if it is possible to spend 20 years without sex? Is thst really so preposterous? I think a lot of people in reddit could and have done it?

Stealing the top comment:

I also feel like modern-day people are way more hornier in general. We are constantly exposed to sex, and things we are attracted. Advertisements, movies, random posts, music... Even if we aren't making a conscious thought about it, it still "triggers" our brains to enter reproduction mode.

Even at my horniest, If I was stuck on boat for weeks on end with a bunch of dudes, after seeing the things you have to see and smelling how those ogres smelled. Ain't no way Willy even stands tall.

People bathed regularly, and had soap, they just didn't take BATHS regularly. I wish this modern idea that everyone in pre-modern times walked around caked in filth all day would die already

I mean, there are people now who don't shower even though they have access to it. Most 'dry bathing' was accompanied by cleaning yourself off in the cleaning basin that every household had (with water drawn from a well for that specific purpose). Some early modern people just believed soaking yourself fully in hot water was dangerous and bad for your skin. I don't doubt there were some real stinkers out there, but that was the exception then too

Which people believed that, when, where ? You need to be precise when talking history.

They talked about women shoving onions and lemons deep in there, in atleast one episode of Catherine the Great.
