Sex on the Lewis & Clark Expedition
Description
Lewis & Clark: Mapping the West, Bedding the Best
How the Corps of Discovery paddled their way up Coochie Creek.
Episode Summary: Think Lewis & Clark were just noble explorers charting the wilderness? Think again. While the Corps of Discovery mapped new lands, they also explored forested ravines (wink wink), spreading their “big medicine” across the continent. From spiritual sex ceremonies to questionable medicine (hello, penis syringes!), this episode uncovers the raunchy reality behind one of America’s greatest expeditions.
Mentioned in This Episode:
- Lewis & Clark’s original journals
- Accounts from the Nez Perce and Mandan tribes
- The history of syphilis treatments (spoiler: they were horrifying)
