The Very Secret Sex Lives of Medieval Women

by Rosalie Gilbert Author

Were medieval women slaves to their husband's desires, jealously secured in a chastity belt in his absence? Was sex a duty or could it be a pleasure? Did a woman have a say about her own female sexuality, body, and who did or didn’t get up close and personal with it? The intimate lives of medieval women were as complex as for modern women. They were hopeful and lovelorn. Some were chaste and some were lusty. Having sex was complicated. Not having sex was even more so. Inside The Very Secret Sex Lives of Medieval Women is a fascinating book about life during medieval times. (Short Discount)
