The human body is as leaky as a sieve. It sweats, spits, pisses, poops, bleeds, and sprays.
What do you consider to be really disgusting? Did you know that what or who we find repulsive varies from person to person, and from time to time? Nowadays bodily fluids like sweat or urine have an aura of taboo and ignite feelings of disgust in us, but that has not always been the case. Disgust, or actually the reduction of it through sexual arousal, also plays an important role in having pleasant sex (or not). In these series medical historian Ruben Verwaal and clinical psycho sexologist Charmaine Borg will explore the perception of this important basic human emotion in daily life, in modern and earlier times.
