There was certainly lots of shagging and the emergence
of the pornographic industry but according to
Victorian society's regulations, sex was a taboo. It
was just about biological reproduction or it was about
nothing.

I personally don't believe any more or less sex has
occured during any period just our own ignorance to
the fact.

In other words: you are not a virgin birth.
