Orgasms & Skincare According to a Medieval Nun

  • Summary

  • Hildegard of Bingen, the 12th century nun, was a certified genius and a true polymath.


    From her many side hustles to her skincare recommendations, she wrote about everything from what happens when the world ends to what the female orgasm feels like.


    Why would a celibate nun know about this? What did she have to say about swollen testicles? And why were her achievements so significant?
