Description of  The Fires of Lust Sex in the Middle Ages [Audiobook]

English | December 31, 2021 | ASIN: B09P1ZC3WL |MP3 | M4B | 11h 8m | 313 MB Author: Katherine Harvey | Narrator: Corrie James An illuminating exploration of the surprisingly familiar sex lives of ordinary medieval people. The medieval humoral system of medicine suggested that it was possible to die from having too much - or too little - sex, while the Roman Catholic Church taught that virginity was the ideal state. Holy men and women committed themselves to lifelong abstinence in the name of religion. Everyone was forced to conform to restrictive rules about who they could have sex with, in what way, how often, and even when, and could be harshly punished for getting it wrong.
