The look from the inside on the sexual practices of the Middle Ages.
Was medieval women slaves of the desires of their husband, did they wear a chastity belt in his absence? Was sex duty or pleasure? Could a woman talk about her sexuality and her body? No. And at the same time yes.
by the majority of ideas about the Middle Ages we owe a scientist of the Victorian era. To emphasize what civilized society they managed to build, they eloquently described the horrors of the past. Even though historical facts spoke the opposite. So the opinion was formed about the Middle Ages as a lag, uncultured and non -taxed time. Women were especially injured: it was believed that they did not know how to read, did not use cosmetics and did not wear underwear. Is it really?
From this exciting book you will learn:
- about the genuine sexual life of women from all sectors of society, including women in history,
- about what could and what could not be done in the bedroom,
- How to conquer a man with food,
- What rules existed for the first wedding night,
- How to get pregnant (and how not to get pregnant)
and much more.
For whom this book
For everyone who is interested in history in its unusual aspects.
For everyone who is fond of the Middle Ages.
For everyone who is interested in the female agenda and the relationship between a man and a woman at different times.
From the author
The intimate life of medieval women was as complex and confusing as ours today, and in those days only very little here was extremely understandable and clear, and most aspects of sexual relations were fuzzy and blurry. The then women, like the current ones, loved and lost, hoped and made secret plans, laughed and cried, experienced ups and falls. They were overwhelmed with hopes, they fell in love. Among them met chaste and lustful. Some were forced to sex, and then they also had to deal with the consequences. Others made aphrodisiacs and seductively dressed.
Sometimes it was difficult to access sex. Sometimes it was even more difficult to avoid intimate connections. Despite hundreds of years, sharing the sexual life of medieval women shrouded in secrets and the intimate life of our contemporaries, they still have a lot in common. In fact, only women themselves really changed. In this book you will find true stories about more than a hundred women who have really lived in the Middle Ages
