Some women put slices of apple in their armpits in austria in 19th century.

My first rection-

What!?!?!?!?

Did they actually?

Yes!

Again, the information is 100% true.

It's a strange courtship ritual in Austria, prcaticed in 19th century by women. The apple slices were typically placed in the armpits during dances.

The belief was that the sweat from the armpit would infuse the apple with the woman's pheromones, making it more attractive to men.

And and and, the courtship isn't over yet!

At the end of the dance, the woman would offer the apple slice to the man she was interested in.

(Ugh, okay! I could still digest it)

But,

If he took a bite, it was a sign that he was interested in her as well.

(So, they actually ate the apple put up in armpits during dance 🫨, you understand?)

Damn🤯 that's what lack of knowledge does!

REASON

One possibility- it was a way for women to express their sexuality in a more subtle way. In the 19th century, women were often expected to be modest and reserved, so this may have been a way for them to show their interest in men without being too forward.

Second possibility - the ritual was based on the belief that armpit sweat contained pheromones that were attractive to men. This belief is not supported by scientific evidence, but it was common in many cultures at the time.

However, the ritual is no longer common in Austria, but it is still remembered as a strange and curious courtship ritual.
