    Looking at that guy’s face, I guarantee you he has a foot fetish. The foot is all he needs.

    Honestly it’s a wonder anyone was even born in England during this time period.

      That’s the thing: Victorians were dirty, horny fuckers.

      There is a lot of evidence for this left behind in writing. It just wasn’t socially acceptable, so doesn’t show up in Victorian mainstream stuff – much like now, I guess.

        I feel like sexual repression just has weird effects on a culture, I mean, just look at Japan.

    Little did they know, their invention would later be used for other purposes.

      “You see, Victorian inventor, in the future, your invention will be used for someone to hide their body while exposing their unmentionables.”
