00:00 I'm with sex historian Kate Lister here at Top Dog Boxing Gym
00:03 where I'm hoping she can shed some light on the kind of men
00:06 that the women back then were really fancy.
00:08 Kate, this is very exciting.
00:11 I mean, we're in this gym,
00:13 so I'm hoping to see some really fit, muscly men.
00:17 By the '80s, we're absolutely sexy.
00:21 I mean, you're talking about super-bust, athletically elite,
00:26 fighting semi-nude in a ring, competing against each other,
00:30 life and death situations, it's all a little bit, "Woo-hoo-hoo," really.
00:33 So they were really eroticised,
00:40 and there's erotic frescoes of them, there's erotic writings.
00:44 What was it, then, aside from their physique,
00:47 that really turned those women on?
00:49 It's a weird thing to say,
00:51 but death is one of the biggest aphrodisiacs of all.
00:54 So a man who is associated with... is a killer.
00:56 Somewhere in the back of your head, that goes.
