Shock, horror! Soldiers like looking at pictures of naked ladies. And in other news, water is wet.

Still going on through WW2, where various militaries 'requested' local governments to provide 'independent business women' to service their troops.

Tsk-tsk. These modern Civil War historians, only one thing on their minds, all the time.

It just shows people throughout history always desire sex. Always.

I believe Lewis Carroll took photos of Alice Lindell naked during the Civil War time period before her mother stopped letting him visit. So this is nothing new.
Soldiers always want sex, it helps take their mind off dying in battle. The one thing I never heard of, however, is soldiers getting porn in the Rev War.

And a good thing too … or we'd be extinct ! huh?

Well I too never heard of that either during AWI. But from what I understand … the real thing was readily available. At reasonable rates … But I was not there so I'm only going by what I read, etc.

Haitiansoldier28 Mar 2017 5:34 p.m. PST

I agree, sex is good.
They didn't have porn in the AWI because they had no photography. But they would just have sex with any woman or girl they wanted to. Ah, the life of a soldier.

In the 18th century, porn was the prerogative of the wealthy who could afford oil paintings of classical legends that were often just an excuse for depicting the naked female form; common soldiers could only go for the real thing…

"Our boys would never…"
Yah. Sure. Why don't we go down to the "Ironclad" in DC to investigate that claim???
