The more things change, the more they stay the same — and Valentine’s Day has always been about sex.

Long before heart-shaped chocolates and prix-fixe dinners, Valentine’s Day involved nearly naked young Roman men running through the streets and whipping women with goat skins to promote fertility. And yes — women lined up for it.

In this episode, the Sex Is Good podcast team dives into the sexy, strange, and unapologetically spicy history of Valentine’s Day, separating romantic myth from biological reality and cultural truth.

If you’re smart enough to listen to a science-based podcast about sex, you’re also smart enough to avoid subscription traps, poor customer service, and incomplete STI testing.
