what was sex like in medieval times? did the concept of privacy just not exist?

quiet fumble under the covers with the wife whilst the kids are across the room
loud and dirty with a whore in the stews whilst your mates drink ale and shout at you
simple as

Pussies were pretty hairy but it was still hot.

It's more that you just have a cultural expectation that its an activity that takes place in beds instead of fields, hedges and barns

Imagine the smell... you work the fields all day and only shower once a month

Sex was considered shameful in the middle ages because it was hard for christcucks to have it.

Why are millennials like this?

They are an extremely effeminate and psyopped generation. Weakest men on average of any generation.

They have a lot of it. Couples had sex in the presence of their friends. Pretty hot. I jerked off to it many times
>>

i'm a zoomie though
were they fucking in the fields?

And writing folksongs about it

Monks owned brothels and were also their best clients. Prostitutes became very happy when a monk client came to them.

The medical and theological consensus was that women were more carnal and less capable of controlling their desires than men. Following Galen and Aristotle, doctors believed women were "cold and moist." They supposedly craved the "heat" of men to stay balanced.

The Church viewed women through the lens of Eve; the temptress who couldn't resist the apple. Therefore, women were seen as morally weaker and naturally prone to lust. There was a widespread medical belief that for a woman to conceive, she had to achieve orgasm (to release her own "seed"). This meant that female pleasure was actually a legal and medical priority for couples trying to have children.

This shift happened largely because of the Enlightenment and the Rise of the Middle Class. To differentiate themselves from the "decadent" aristocracy and the "base" peasantry, the middle class adopted a code of extreme domesticity and "passionlessness" for women.

The Middle Class, as always, ruins everything.

>>18416078

The frankness about sex would surprise a modern Victorian-minded person. There was little privacy. Everyone knew what sex was. However, it wasn't exactly a "free love" era. The Church was extremely strict. Sex was generally viewed as a "remedy for lust" or a means for procreation. Positions, the time of day, and even the day of the week (no sex on Sundays, feast days, or during Lent) were heavily regulated by "penitentials" (handbooks for priests).
>>
>>18416885

Actually, medieval people were more hygienic than people during the early modern era.
>>
>>18416434
Depends on the region I guess, hair removal is kinda mandatory in Islam and certain regions of Europe such as Italy had the reputation of practicing it as well.
>>
>>18416078
There's a famous medieval song about a couple having sex under a limetree growing on a heather.
>>
>>18416434
When I become dictator I will put men like you against the wall for convincing women to shave their pussies.
>>
>>18417124
Specifically urban people. In rural areas there wasn't much change between the late medieval and early modern period in how the average rural person lived.
>>
>>18416885
Mmm
>>
>>18417227
i heard that rural peasants put more effort in cleanliness than nobles
>>
>>18417224
Agreed. I am massively less attracted when a girl is naked and it turns out she is shaved. That's not how women are supposed to look, that's how little girls look.
>>
>>18417477
It's disturbing that you think of little girls when you see a grown woman's shaved vagina. Brain rotted from too much cheese pizza?
>>
>>18417434
They would have lived closer to local springs, and bathhouses
>>
that came from porn, women thinking they had to shave even though it's unsightly as all get
>>
>>18417434
That's definitely just false. There is probably the odd noble who never touched water in his life but the vast majority would have washed themselves relatively regularly even during the dark ages.
>>
>>18417015
>>18417103
there was a copse near Bristol called the Fuckynggrove. Guess what the locals used it for.
>>18416901
No, they liked to fuck, men who didn't fuck women were assumed to be homos like you.
>>
>>18416885
People bathed, most towns were near rivers. "Knight of the Seven Kingdoms" was dirty because that featured a tournament with too many people clustered around too little water.
>>
>>18416078
They fucked in the woods where no one was else around. Europe was a lot more rural and empty back then
>>
>>18416078
>Hey kids, go play outside for a while.
Are you stupid?

Shaving is for prostitutes, Muslims, and other undesirables.
>>
>>18417667
Not only did parents not bother doing this, they had their kids join in.

I genuinely believe that pedophilic impulses are what led to women in pornography having shaved vaginas and, thereby, what led to coomers expecting shaved vaginas and, thereby, what led to them becoming the norm in our porn-soaked culture.

The natural way is for adults to have hair there. Naturally, it is exclusively children who do not. Therefore by removing that hair one is, practically by definition, making oneself look more childlike. And those who prefer it prefer, practically by definition, more childlike features.
>>
>>18417725
So by your logic any woman who likes a man with a clean-shaven face is also a pedophile.
>>
>>18417741
If that desire was to be driven by pornographic films where they obsess over getting young boys yes I would say it absolutely evinces such desires
>>
>>18417662
women didn't wear underwear back then so just lift up her skirt and go

You got a prime girl in her best age, which your parents traded to you for a few cows

>>18417725
We have archeological evidence of straight razors and tweezers existing since at least the bronze age, and pictorial evidence of Ancient Egyptian women shaving their legs and genitals dating even further back. Hair is "natural", sure, but people have always styled and groomed themselves in ways that aren't inherently "natural". Especially back in an age where such hair may culturally be seen as stores for odor and filth. People have always wanted to be clean, look good, and impress mates and their peers.

Most people lived in rural environments, they had plenty of privacy.
>>
>>18416233

In England. In mainland Europe homes had multiple rooms.

And a rural farmer and his wife didn't give a shit about any of that and fucked daily for fun.

Later in life he lost games to little girls and become brain-broken about it.
>>
>>18416078
Sex was way less shamed and far more open than most "religious" people claim. Sex was just a thing you did and your parents were happy rather than embarrassed.

Probably pretty bad. I'm a volcel, but according to sex havers you can smell a womans poopy anus during sex if she didn't shower right before.

Can't imagine how bad it'd have been before soaps, perfumes, and indoor plumbing.
>>
>>18416881
Nobody ever had that cultural expectation though.
>>
>>18418133
Mentally they're still only 10yo though.
>>
>>18419018
All that shit has existed since antiquity. Though Europe was into not showering for some stupid reason.
>>
>>18418941
what a stupid thing to say
>>
>>18419044
It may have existed, but I doubt the average peasant could afforded it.
>>
>>18417511
Holy pedo lashing out
>>
>>18417725
I like completely shaved muff, legs, and pits, and you can just stay mad because I don't care. Feels good man.
>>
>>18416078
You dont even know how sex in present is, whyd you care.
>>
pretty bad. the nobleman could just take your wife or daughter and have sex with her any time he felt like it and you couldn'd do a thing about it.
>>
It was normal to nap more. People would generally go to bed, sleep for 4 hours, wake up and do matins or fuck their wife. Physicians /ethicists all thought this was basically the ideal time to fuck your wife. They had a lot of sex and no conception of privacy. People didn’t really jack off due to this - it was unusual enough that people who whacked off were assumed to be mentally / morally deficient. Which in truth, they were - it was about as common and with the same import as homeless guy today jacking off on the subway.
>>
>>18416078
pretty much what its like in india today
>>
>>18419785
Prima noctura is a myth with no evidence for its existence.
>>
>>18419831
No, India is 100x worse. They all have their brains fried from watching online porn on their phones, and sex selection abortion (their 2nd favorite national pastime after cricket ) means their sex ratio is like 120/100. Their only outlet is posting about BBCs on 4chan.
>>
>>18417741
Yes, and they're also pedophiles for wanting men with the hairline of a child.
>>
>>18417789
A chemise was worn under clothing but they didn't have panties and period blood and other discharges just ran down the leg.
>>
>>18417118
The Church held at different times that prostitution was a necessary evil as men who couldn't nut might go out and start raping people.
>>
>>18419863
Well, also without prostitutes, all women would simply become whores. Turns out they were right.
>>
>>18419800
work mostly shut down when night came because candles were expensive, and in the wintertime you didn't have much daylight especially north of the Mediterranean.
>>
>>18417725
Yeah bro, shaving is evil. Women should be hairy like men
>>
>>18419627
It's not normal to think about little girls when you see shaved pussy. If you do, get therapy.
>>
>>18419918
Up to around 30 years ago, shaved pussies were primarily associated with prostitutes. So it’s fitting that modern western women have adopted it ubiquitously.
>>
>>18416881
If that was the case why is it called roll in the hay?
>>
