"Sex with Animals in Early Modern Russia: Legal Spaces of Negotiating the Boundaries of Humanity", Marianna Muravyeva, University of Helsinki

That is quite a headline.

Meanwhile Russian state media accuses Western zoos to promote the same.

evolution, baby

This is about them prosecuting it for pretty much the same reasons it’s prosecuted elsewhere, now and then. If that’s supposed to be an own, try harder.

How did I end up spending part of my Tuesday reading a scientific study about legal handling of sex with animals in early modern Russia? Wonders of the internet, and yes it fits the community.

I don’t think that’s what they meant when they said ‘just get a fleshlight’

Yes, Russians fuck Russians. That’s expected and is nothing of our concern.

Why is this even downvoted?

The analysis reveals that sex with animals was stigmatized as an impermissible sexual practice

Uhh… Yeah

what is infuriating about a historical study?

If this infuriates you, you should hear about some of the other things we do to animals

😂
