Psychology fact: Sometimes, people who are thousands of miles away can make you feel better than the ones right beside you. Psychology fact: Teenagers are often treated like children, but expected to act like adults. When a woman no longer gets frustrated and upset with you, you can almost guarantee that she doesn't care anymore. 1 Like |

The Ivanov experiments- basically some Russian scientist in the 1920s conducted experiments where he tried to make a “humanzee”. I think there were other secret soviet experiments as well where they tried with gorillas in a (failed) attempt to make a super solider hybrid thing. Charles II on the wedding night of his nephew and future King, William of Orange, watched the entire consummation whilst shouting encouragement from the sidelines. Boston Corbett, the man who found and shot John Wilkes Booth, was completely insane from handling mercury as a hatter. Years before shooting Booth he had calmly castrated himself with a pair of scissors. The vibrator was created to treat Hysteria because doctors were taking too long to manually masterbate women. The vibrator became the largest selling household appliance. |

When the Russian Bolsheviks overthrew the provisional government and stormed the Winter Palace in 1917 their revolution was halted for a few days. The reason was because the Bolsheviks got ridiculously drunk in the Winter Palace after finding the wine stores. The Diary of Anne Frank was edited by her father because of some of the thing she talked about: such as her period, discovering herself, learning about hear clitoris/labia and learning some about boys from a younger guy that was staying with them too, and also he father’s infatuation with fart jokes and such (which he didn’t want published.) Franklin Delano Roosevelt was a Hot SOB who kept multiple mistresses During WWII, the propaganda aimed at dehumanizing the Japanese was so successful that American marines in the pacific were keeping the body parts of Japanese soldiers as Souvenirs. Let me tell you the story of Princess Olga of Kiev. Her husband, Igor, was murdered by the Drevlyans, an Eastern Slavic tribe. Olga took over the Kievan Rus’, but the Drevlyans didn’t want a female ruler, so they sent her a group of suitors. Still pretty pissed about her husband’s murder, Olga had the suitors carried by her servants on a boat to the courtyard of the castle. The boat was dumped into a giant hole and the suitors were buried alive. She told the Drevlyans that she had accepted a suitor and organized a party in a bath house. After the guests arrived, the doors were barred shut and the bath house was burned down. After the memorial to the people who died in the bath house, a party was held and the Drevlyan guests got drunk off their ass. Olga’s royal guard proceeded to kill all 5,000 of them that night. When they requested her forgiveness, Olga asked the Drevlyans to give her three pigeons and three sparrows from each home from their capital of Iskorosten. When they arrive, she had hot coals tied to their legs and set them back home. As the city burned to the ground from the resulting fire, the people that ran out of the city were either killed, enslaved, or extorted by Olga’s army. The entire tribe was basically wiped out in the following years. Olga is a saint in the Eastern Orthodox church. tl;dr: Never piss off a Russian. |

snowprince07: ***who is heNicholas II, the last czar of Russia, ascended to the throne following the death of his father in 1894. Woefully unprepared for such a role, Nicholas II has been characterize as a naïve and incompetent leader. At a time of enormous social and political change in his country, Nicholas held fast to outdated, autocratic policies and opposed reform of any kind. His inept handling of military matters and insensitivity to the needs of his people helped to fuel the 1917 Russian Revolution . Forced to abdicate in 1917, Nicholas went into exile with his wife and five children. After living more than a year under house arrest, the entire family was brutally executed in July 1918 by Bolshevik soldiers. Nicholas II was the last of the Romanov Dynasty, which had ruled Russia for 300 years. Dates: May 18, 1868* -- July 17, 1918 Reign: 1894 – 1917 Also Known As: Nicholas Alexandrov Romanov Born Into the Romanov Dynasty Nicholas II, born in Tsarskoye Selo near St. Petersburg, Russia, was the first child of Alexander III and Marie Feodorovna (formerly Princess Dagmar of Denmark). Between 1869 and 1882, the royal couple had three more sons and two daughters. The second child, a boy, died in infancy. Nicholas and his siblings were closely related to other European royalty, including first cousins George V (future king of England) and Wilhelm II , the last kaiser (emperor) of Germany. In 1881, Nicholas’ father, Alexander III, became czar (emperor) of Russia after his father, Alexander II, was killed by an assassin's bomb. Nicholas, at twelve, witnessed his grandfather's death when the czar, horribly maimed, was carried back to the palace. Upon his father's ascension to the throne, Nicholas became the tsesarevich (heir- apparent to the throne). Despite being raised in a palace, Nicholas and his siblings grew up in a strict, austere environmen and enjoyed few luxuries. Alexander III lived simply, dressing as a peasant while at home and making his own coffee each morning. The children slept on cots and washed in cold water. Overall, however, Nicholas experienced a happy upbringing in the Romanov household. Read more>>http://history1900s.about.com/od/people/a/Nicholas-II.htm |

Thomas Edison electrocuted a lady circus elephant to death. She killed three men over the years (including an abusive trainer). Over a thousand people came to watch her die, and Edison recorded it on video. When I was a freshman in high school we had to do reports on the holocaust. I for some reason picked Josef Rudolf Mengele who was also known as “The angel of death.” The teacher didnt let me read the report in front of class. He was a sick man. He took jewish kids and did experiments on them. He tried finding ways to turn their eyes blue. He had sewn 2 twins together by the length of their spines, the mother later killed them because they were nonstop screaming in agony. He even took a baseball bat to a childs leg and right when the broken bone was about to heal he broke it again. He did this a ton of times to see if the leg would just give up on healing.. the list goes on. this guy was nuts. |

The reason why the Spartans were able to be so focused on war was because of massive slavery. Even though much of the ancient world had slavery, the Spartans took it to an extreme level, to the point where the Athenians were horrified just from seeing it. There’s an Egyptian creation myth which states that the universe was the result of the ejaculation of the god Atum As such apparently some Pharaohs would ceremonially ejaculate into the Nile I recommend listening to Dan Carlin’s podcast called Hardcore History. He has few segments on the Mongols and damn, they are pretty terrifying. They used to light the fat of the enemies they killed on fire, and proceeded to shoot it with their catapults onto their other enemies. Also throwing in some heads, limbs, and other body parts into the mix. |

Western bias:That millions more chinese people died cruely at the hands of the Japanese than jewish people died at the hands of the germans but it seems that our history books sort of left that out… hmm It surprises me sometimes that a history textbook that covers the Holocaust does not cover the Rape of Nanking Soldiers chopped off the bellies of pregnant women, forced family members to rape each other, cut open children and infants to rape them, forced monks who had an oath to a life of celibacy to rape others, raped young girls literally to death, and so on. During the civil war, prostitution was as big as fighting. General Hooker had huge groups of women go would follow around his troops and satisfy their urges (where the term Hooker comes from) and in 1861 the Union Army Medical Department reported that 1 out of 12 soldiers had venereal disease. One report showed that out of 468,000 men checked, 188,000 had an STD. Genghis Khan raped so many women that the people of Asia have a very small chance of being biologically related to him. A Byzantine emperor, Basil — he captured 15,000 Bulgarians in battle, and blinded 99 of every 100, leaving the 100th guy with one eye — and then send them all home. From a very young age Al Capone had pus coming out of his penis. When he was finally arrested on grounds of tax evasion he was found to have syphillis, which was at the time very treatable. Capone refused treatment however because he was afraid of needles. After his 11 year stint in Alcatraz, the disease had eaten away at his brain so much that he could no longer resume his life of crime. Before his death he was often spotted casting a fishing rod into his swimming pool.0 Vlad the impaler liked sticking large sticks up peoples bottoms, once you got over this fact, he was apparently a nice guy 1 Like |

Foot tickling for sexual arousal was used in the Muscovite palaces and courts for centuries. Many of the Czarinas (Catherine the Great, Anna Ivanovna, Elizabeth and others) were fervent participants. The practice was so popular that eunuchs and women were employed as full time foot ticklers. They developed this unique skill so well that their occupations brought prestige and good pay. Anna Leopoldovna had at least six ticklers at her feet. While the ticklers performed their task, they also told bawdy stories and sang obscene ballads. This was done to work the ladies up to an erotic pitch so that they could meet their husbands or lovers in a sex impassioned mood. In the 1880s, Anthony Comstock went around collecting people’s dildos and other intimacy gadgets. He is like the Anti-Santa… in every way. Christopher Columbus prostituted pre pubescent native american girls “For sure, they don’t teach you this in history class, but in colonial times, the person who got left in the stocks overnight was nothing less than fair game for everybody to nail. Men or women, anybody bent over had no way of knowing who was doing the ram job, and this was the real reason you never wanted to end up here unless you had a family member or a friend who’d stand with you the whole time. To protect you. To watch your ass, for real.” The Armenian genocide. It was a fucking genocide it happened only an estimated 100,000 people were left in Armenia. The word genocide was created just to describe the massacare that the Armenians faced yet still some people say that it never happened |

Ben Franklin visited brothels almost every night During/leading up to the French revolution cats were massacred by printing apprentices who were treated worse than the pets of the bourgeois Unit 731. It was a biological and chemical warfare research unit that undertook lethal human experimentation during the occupation of China. Vivisection, germ warfare and weapons testing on living subjects (Human beings). Unit 731 was basically full of scientific sadists and psychopaths that killed people in incredibly gruesome ways and it seems their imagination knew no limits. After WW2, the leaders of the unit gave the US military their research data in return for their own freedom and many of previous members of Unit 731 became part of post-war politics, academia, business, and medicine. They were just as bad or even worse than most of the staff of the extermination camps. They didn’t even refer to the Chinese people as humans, but logs (there was a lumber mill nearby and I guess they thought it was some sort of a sadistic humor)… And some even bragged about how many logs they had cut that day (vivisection) The mathmatitian Pythagoras, who discovered the Pythagorean theorem, (A2 + B2 = C2 ) Was go-nutty, Bat-shit crazy. He killed people who didn’t agree or disproved him, he convinced people that facing the sun when you urinate is a heavily punishable sin, and didn’t believe in fractions, or decimals. He simply refused to beleive that More then two and less then three could possibly exist. Malcolm X was bisexual and was a sex worker. Source : The Guardian |

in the middle ages, one of the punishments for being gay, was to hang the offending person by his ankles and saw from his genitals towards his head. this process caused the blood to rush to the brain, meaning that the saw would get to the mid chest height before they passed out. also cathron wheeling, the offender was placed on a large wheel and then had all of their joints broken by a large hammer, then left to be eaten by crows. and thats just england! for norway look up blood eagle. The Romans were sick f.u.c.ks. The emperors had young boys as concubines frequently, and some even hired toddlers, from their parents, to nibble at their inner thighs while they bathed. Tell that to your grandma the next time she says the world is becoming amoral I can’t believe nobody has said this yet! The US was a leader in negative eugenics, and sterilized over 10,000 people against their will for sexual promiscuity, “feeblemindedness”, having children out of wedlock, being physically “unfit”, and many other things. A Supreme Court ruling in Virginia that sided with the state was what Hitler based his eugenics laws off of. This is what made the Holocaust legal in the nazi empire. Well legal in the sense that they passed laws saying they could do it, not legal in the sense that it was ok. Certain states sterilized people into the 1970s, NC being one of them. The Supreme Court ruling has never been overturned. somewhere around 400 unarmed civilians were killed during the Vietnam war by U.S. soldiers, the women were raped. 26 soldiers were originally charged with war crimes, 1 served time. He was given a life sentence but served less than 4 years of house arrest. The Milky Way supposedly got it’s name because it was formed when the Greek goddess Hera sprayed her breast milk into the sky Mozart was surprisingly filthy, and was obsessed with feces and bathroom humor. He wrote two songs about anilingus. Napoleon losing the battle of Waterloo. Not really R rated so much as PG-13. In addition to the many, many reasons history books give us to explain why Napoleon lost the battle, what they leave out is the fact that during the battle Napoleon had a terrible case of diarrhea. You’d think this would get mentioned, as I imagine it’s hard to command an army when you are constantly shitting all over the place and becoming dehydrated as a result. Source: You Will Die: The Burden of Modern Taboos by Rob Arthur. Fantastic book full of crazy facts like this. Others include how much Martin Luther King Jr loved to bang hookers (the lighter skinned the better, but never white), John F Kennedy’s reputation for being extremely quick in bed, and a great letter from Mozart to his sister describing a series of farts he let out while writing the letter |

Banquet of Chestnuts – October 1501. Basically Pope Alexander VI had a orgy with over 50 prostitutes. The only major sexual event we learned about That the Russians would have “barrier troops” that would be set up behind Russian army forces and shoot those soldiers that were trying to desert from the front line. That the first American past time was incredibly violent wrestling. There were only two chances to ever lose as the victor would take the loser’s eye as a trophy. King Goujian of Yue placed a row of convicted criminals at the front of his army. Before the battle the criminals would cut off their own heads to scare his enemy’s army by how motherfucking crazy Goujian’s army was.

85 hot new sex facts 1 People who have sex about three times a week are perceived to look four to seven years younger. 2 Women place a higher importance on looks than men do when looking for a casual sex partner. 3 But that may not be smart. One poll found that computer nerds make the best lovers, with 82 percent of IT geeks claiming they put their partner’s pleasure above their own. 4 Sadly, only 41 percent of fitness professionals were as selfless. 5 Get it on the night before you need to bring some great ideas to the office. According to anthropologist Helen Fisher, Ph.D., sex triggers brain chemicals that can improve creativity at work. 6 Don’t wait to feel turned on before you make a move. Most women experience arousal after the fun has already begun. 7 Single women are more attracted to men who are taken than to those who are available. 8 Strippers earn more money when they’re ovulating. Scientists suspect it’s because of the pheromones their body releases. Do a striptease for your guy when you’re ovulating two weeks before your period—and it will likely create some serious heat. 9 An orgasm can cure your stage fright! A Scottish study found that following Sexual release, people had an easier time with public speaking. 10 Guys find your voice more attractive during that time of the month— meaning, period sex is a prime time to add some dirty talk to the mix. 11 One study found that men on the prowl are more likely to spend money on luxury items for themselves than those who aren’t searching for a mate. 12 Watch a short porn scene before hopping in bed with your guy. Research found that 58 percent of men and women who regularly use porn felt more comfortable with their sexuality and tending to their partner’s sexual needs. 13 It’s the sweet stuff that really gets females hot. A study found that women were more turned on watching a man kissing a woman than having sex with her. So try kissing him in front of a mirror. 14 A UK study found that most men prefer women with some curves to super- skinny waifs. 15 Try a little spanking during sex, and don’t worry about the sting. Oxytocin, one of the sex chemicals released when you’re getting it on, reduces pain by about half. 16 Peyronie’s disease is a condition in which a man’s penis curves. A drug used to straighten bent fingers is now being tested to fix it. 17 A study says intercourse lasts about 16 minutes for Europeans and just 7 minutes for Americans. Make a ring with your fingers and squeeze around the base of his shaft to make him last longer. 18 Men take more risks when they know hot women are looking. 19 Snuggle with him while watching TV at night. Couples who cuddle regularly are eight times less likely to get depressed than those who kiss only during intercourse. 20 Experts have discovered that high levels of the hormone oestradiol make women more likely to cheat. The reason? It creates bigger breasts and smaller waists. As a result, they tend to get more attention and, therefore, have more sexual opportunities. |
Re: Thread For Facts.... by Nobody: 1:05am On Sep 10, 2014 |
21 Researchers found that watching porn doesn’t negatively affect a man’s views about women. 22 A poll found that those who consume the most online pornography live in the most conservative and religious states. 23 One study done on newlyweds found that couples’ negative feelings about their sex life had more of an impact on their marital satisfaction than concerns about nonsexual issues did. 24 Athletic women say their sexual performance is better... 25 ...and maybe that’s because female pro athletes have both better clitoral blood flow and higher sexual satisfaction than women who don’t exercise. 26 Furthermore, one study found that just 20 minutes of exercise before going at it will improve your sexual response. 27 Take time to really figure out your feelings—it could help you in the bedroom. See, women with high emotional intelligence experience more orgasms. 28 Almost 53 percent of women have used external stimulation. If you haven’t tried it, start with a small one that won’t overwhelm you. 29 A study of college students found that over a two-year period, both men and women had twice as many hook-ups as first dates. 30 Worldwide, only 30 percent of men are circumcised. Dating an uncut guy? Keep in mind that the tip of his penis may be more sensitive because it’s not always exposed. So you may need to use a slightly more gentle touch. |
