Is the Cork an Erotic Suggestion in the 18th Century?
Corks were not themselves erotic but their usage in the 18th century gave them erotic associations so corks were often used as fashion historians have noted to bustle a woman's skirt they basically give her a big booty to hold her penny coat out on. Some artists had fun with those two things that is that corks existed under women's skirts and that they were used to plug up holes oh i see what they've done there okay isn't that funny? So talking about it doesn't sound very funny but as you know the visual renderings of these are hilarious.
