Prehistoric Sex!

So apparently, humans have been having all kinds of crazy, non-monogamous, non-hetero, non-reproductively aimed sex pretty much since the beginning of time. Does this mean we're regressing and becoming more and more repressed?

Practices ranging from bondage to group sex, transvestism and the use of sex toys were widespread in primitive societies as a way of building up cultural ties.

According to the study, a 30,000-year-old statue of a naked woman - the Venus of Willendorf - and an equally ancient stone phallus found in a German cave, provide the earliest direct evidence that sex was about far more than babies.
