Sex and Sexuality in Medieval England allows the reader a peek
beneath the bedsheets of our medieval ancestors, in an informative
and fascinating look at sex and sexuality in England from 1250 to
1450. It examines the prevailing attitudes towards male and female
sexual behaviour, and the ways in which these attitudes were often
determined by those in positions of power and authority. It also
explores our ancestors' ingenious, surprising, bizarre and often
entertaining solutions to the challenges associated with
maintaining a healthy sex life. This book will look at marriage,
pre-marital sex, adultery and fornication, pregnancy and fertility,
illegitimacy, prostitution, consent, same-sex relationships, gender
roles and much more, to shed new light on the private lives of our
medieval predecessors.
