THE ORIGINS OF SEX
Happy Valentine’s Day! Now, allow me to ruin it for you
To all satisfied spouses, singletons, and star-crossed lovers everywhere, I bid you a happy Valentine’s Day. You may have already heard that Valentine’s began as a medieval feast day celebrating a handful of Christian martyrs all named “Valentine”, then slowly transmogrified into a holiday for aristocratic lovers during the Renaissance, only to be shoved down the throats of the general public in the 19th century by industrialists who were mass-producing greeting cards.
But history is capable of ruining much more, to further dissect and butcher the holiday for your perverse enjoyment.
