We think of our beds, and our bedrooms, as the most intimate, personal part of our house.  The bedroom is the room that is closed off if we have guests in our house, and inviting someone into your bedroom has certain… connotations.  But it hasn’t always been thus.  Throughout human history, beds were often more communal, public places — sometimes with sexual overtones, but more frequently with none whatsoever.  Brian Fagan is a Distinguished Emeritus Professor of Anthropology at the University of California – Santa Barbara.  He, along with co-author Nadia Durrani, recently wrote “What We Did In Bed: A Horizontal History.”  Brian Fagan joined Buzz host Brian Standing on Monday, July 27, 2020.
