steve0079... maybe you should tell the History Channel that it is just a myth. I just got done watching the show "The History of Sex", and it indeed stated as a fact that table skirts were invented for the purpose of "avoiding any unnatural union between a man and furniture". In Victorian times, any "limb" on a woman's body was considered extremely sexual, so much so that even a leg of a table could turn men into a sexual frenzy. So they covered them up with the skirt. Nice try though, but they weren't as pre-occupied with the upkeep of their wood as they were with the taboo of sex during those times.
