Sex sells, and sex has been sold just about as long as there've been people willing to pay for it and money to buy it with. Ruth Mazo Karras, a professor of history at the University of Minnesota, wrote an interesting book called Common Women: Prostitution and Sexuality in Medieval England (1998) which discusses the status of prostitutes in medieval English society. Women who turned willingly to prostitution likely did so because of lack of work opportunities, or to supplement a meager income. A woman from a poor family, domestic servants, impoverished widows, or women who were unable to lure husbands, were all susceptible to prostitution. Many, if not most, prostitutes did not sell themselves full-time. Laundresses, also called lavenders, in particular had an unsavory reputation, and in London laundresses were even banned from bath-houses, suggesting they were known for visiting male bath-houses searching for clients. Sometimes young girls were lured into dangerous situations, as happened to nine-year-old Agnes Turner, who was lured into the home of Agnes Smith, who then bared the door. Agnes Turner was then attacked by a clerk named Robert, but her cries drew the attention of passersby, who came to her rescue. Agnes Smith was sentenced to the thew (a pillory for women) for three days for arranging for Agnes Turner's near-rape. Pimps were known as 'bawds'. Bawds could be male or female. In 1385, an apprentice embroideress named Joan alleged that her mistress, Elizaveth Moryng, forced Joan and her other apprentices to "to live in lechery and go with friars, chaplains, and all others wishing to have them." Some bawds sold their own daughters. Brothels were also known, as in the case of Peter Bednot and his wife Petronella, who kept a brothel on Grub Street in London in 1425. A woman convicted of bawdery could expect to spend some time in the thew, as well as having her head forcibly shaven before a jeering mob. For the most part, brothels were forbidden in towns; only in a couple of cases, such as in Southwark, were there regulated brothels. It seems that relatively few women actually lived at the brothels; when times were lean some women would take up prostitution, and then go back to more respectable employment later. London banned whores from dressing like "good and noble dames or damsels", and prostitutes could not wear fur-lined hoods, but rather striped hoods, un-lined. Striped hoods became a symbol of prostitution, so that Bristol issued a law that proclaimed "Let no whore walk in the town without a striped hood." Prostitutes then, as today, were vulnerable to violence. The 1299 Coroner's Roll for Oxford records the murder of Margery de Hereford. The coroner determined that an unnamed clerk had known Margery carnally, and that when she demanded her fee the clerk stabbed her in the left breast.

We can all agree that sex is pretty awesome. But, alas, it wasn’t always this way. In the past, sex was seen, at best, as a necessary evil to make babies. At worst, it was a pathway to eternal damnation. Medieval sex (or lack thereof), was about as joyless as it gets… but it wasn’t without its oddities.
After all, the church was trying to look out for everyone’s immortal souls… but sometimes that meant tough love (pun intended). Women in Medieval times had it especially tough. Not only were they not allowed to enjoy sex, but if they had it at all, they were seen as damaged goods in the eyes of society and the church. But still, sex happened… just under some pretty rough restrictions. Even marriage didn’t give people the freedom to go at it.
Wondering which positions were considered the worst, how people used sex toys, or what would God think of you for going down on your partner? Check out the answers (and even more about weird Medieval sex) below.
1. Condoms Were Made of Intestine and Linen
Condoms have been around a long time, but they weren’t always made of latex. Back in the day, condoms were made from animal bladders or intestines, and were constantly reused . For some strange reason, though, it wasn’t seen as a mortal sin by the church. Maybe they were worried about STDs spreading.
2. Missionary Position Was the Lay of the Land
The missionary position is pretty tried and true, but if you were going by the church’s standards, it was the only way to go . Any other position had the risk of confusing gender roles, and no one wanted to see a man outside a position of power. (Insert eye roll.) One of the worst positions? Having a woman on top, of course.
3. Erectile Dysfunction Was a Big Deal
Since it was important that people have kids, not being able to perform was a major problem. If a guy couldn’t get it up, their penis would literally be investigated by the church. In the end, if sex was impossible, the couple could be separated.
4. Women Masturbated with Loaves of Bread
Yes, masturbation was also a sin. But sometimes, it just has to be done. There were actually wooden sex toys in the past, but many people just didn’t have that kind of money. So… they used hard loaves of bread . Gives new meaning to the term “yeast infection.” (Sorry.)
5. Anal Sex Was a Sin
There’s really nothing constructive about anal sex in the eyes of the church. You can’t make a baby with it, so the only purpose would be for pleasure. Since you cannot under any circumstances enjoy sex, doing it up the butt is a huge sin.
6. Oral Sex Was Also a Really Big Sin
Like anal sex, oral sex was a huge no-no in the eyes of the Lord. In fact, one book called Canons of Theodore pretty much said oral sex is the worst thing ever : “Whoever ejaculates seed into the mouth, that is the worst evil. From someone it was judged that they repent this up to the end of their lives.”
7. People Were Pretty Cool with Brothels
Despite all of the fuss about sex being sinful, prostitutes were all the rage in the Middle Ages. In fact, prostitution was seen as a pretty honest and important profession, all things considered. For a while, the Church didn’t really mind prostitutes. After all, if they didn’t exist, a lot of men would get real cranky real fast… and back then that meant a body count . Of course, independent prostitutes were looked down upon. If you were part of a brothel, however, then you were a productive member of society.
8. If You Lost Your Virginity to Your Husband, You Got a Prize
Since Medieval society dictated that non-virgin women had less spiritual worth, losing your virginity — even to your husband on your wedding night — had to suck. To rectify the situation, they came up with the “morning gift,” which the groom gave the bride to compensate for her loss of her precious hymen.
9. Theologians Ranked Sexual Positions Based on Sin Level
Doing the same thing in bed, day in and day out, is just going to get boring. So some of the more liberal-thinking theologians decided to give themselves a little existential wiggle room. They ranked five sexual positions from least sinful to most sinful based on how “natural” they were. The ranking was: missionary, side-by-side, sitting, standing, and “a tergo” (doggy). Yeah, apparently God does not like doggy style.
10. If You’re Trying to Have a Kid, You Better Not Enjoy It
The only way sex was 100% cool with God, the Church, and the fate of your immortal soul was if it was had in order to make a baby. The caveat was that even then, you could not enjoy it . If you did, that was sinful. They really couldn’t catch a break back then.
11. If Women Prayed Hard Enough, They Got Their Virginity Back
Since virginity was basically the most important thing for a woman to hang on to, the church made it possible to get yours back. Though it’s physically impossible, you could become reborn as a figurative virgin if you confessed your sins, did years of penance, and spent the rest of your life in a convent . Sounds like a raw deal.
12. Looking Was Okay, Touching Was Not
the old days, coveting thy neighbor’s wife wasn’t totally frowned upon, as long as you didn’t do anything about it. You could even pine after a married woman as long as you didn’t take action. In fact, the situation was so familiar to Medieval people that they invented the concept of “courtly love,” which is basically when a knight falls in love with a married woman and dies for her in a war. Still, the minute that knight had sex with his forbidden love, he was a sinner. Killing for her was fine, though…
13. Sex Before Marriage Could End in Death
Priests were obligated by the laws of the church to report anyone having premarital sex or cheating on their spouse. There are stories of guys being caught with their pants down who were publicly disemboweled .
14. Being Gay Pretty Much Sucked
As we know, the church already hated anal sex… and that was between a man and a woman. If it didn’t result in a baby, it was no good. Since two men or two women having sex can never result in a baby… that’s about as horrible as it got in the eyes of the Medieval church . As a result, homosexuals were burned, hung, and even starved to death when they were discovered.
15. Celibacy Was Always the Best Way to Go
In a time when everyone was considered a sinner, virginity made you as pure as you could get. So the longer you remained celibate, the longer you were totally awesome . That mentality has persisted in some forms through to today, since the whole “abstinence first” policy is preached by many modern religious groups.
