From sexual vampirism to unrealistic representations of courtesan culture, from wife lending to avoiding *ahem* finishing: in this episode Kate and Paul R. Goldin from the University of Pennsylvania delve into the beds and sexual beliefs of Ancient China.
*WARNING there are adult themes and mentions of rape in this episode*
Produced by Charlotte Long and Sophie Gee. Mixed by Anisha Deva.
