6 anecdotes to tell in the evening

Napoleon's penis is said to be in New Jersey

Louis-Napoleon Bonaparte's penis is currently in New Jersey, United States. After his death in 1821, his body was autopsied. His penis, 3.8 cm when flaccid, was removed along with other organs. Father Ange Paul Vignali is said to have kept the mummified member for several decades. After passing through several hands for centuries, it is said to have ended up with a urologist in New Jersey, who acquired it in 1977 for $3,000.

The pornographic magazine invented by a close friend of Raphaël

If the Lumière brothers invented the cinematograph in 1895, we owe the first erotic film to Eugène Pirou and Albert Kirchner. The latter, under the pseudonym Léar, directed and publicly screened Le Coucher de la mariée in 1896. A seven-minute film that includes a striptease scene.

Louis XVI waited 7 years before consummating his marriage

Louis-Auguste and Marie-Antoinette married on May 16, 1770, but did not consummate their marriage until seven years later.

The fault of the King who suffered from phimosis, a genital anomaly that affects erection.

The witch's broom synonymous with wild sexuality

In the Middle Ages, riding a broom was a symbol of female sexuality. A wild and threatening sexuality for men. A pagan ritual also consisted of fertilizing the earth with these objects. To do this, the brooms were brought to the fields and the men jumped over them, thinking they were enriching the earth. These two facts would have contributed to the myth of the witch and her flying broom.
