Doctor of Love: James Graham and His Celestial Bed | Lydia Syson

#OldCoolBooks #Curiosa
Yesterday's prompt--I don't have any books that are really curiosa (curiosities-especially erotic books & articles), but in my '76 Reader's Digest Strange Stories, Amazing Facts, there's mention of Dr. John Graham, an early sex therapist of sorts who charged couples large fees to spend the night in his Celestial Bed in 1780s London. Magnets were supposed to cure impotence & bring fertility. Tagged is a 2008 book about him.

Forbidden Erotica | Taschen

#curiosa defined as curiosities, especially erotic or pornographic books or articles. I think this book counts. It is a collection of early photographs mostly, from the 1870s to the 1930s of erotica.

The American Heritage History of the Thirteen Colonies | Louis B. Wright

#Curiosa is like it sounds. Except that along with referring to books that are curious in nature, it particularly means erotic. Yep, it‘s an old-timey word for porn.

Unfortunately, my shelves are pretty tame, so I‘ll share something curious from colonial America.
Metcalf Bowler said he had a tree directly descended from the tree of knowledge of good and evil. He served “Eden champagne” to the likes of Washington and Lafayette. #OldCoolBooks
