Question by Gphwar6:

How sex is presented in Middle English literature?

In university, we are studying a very broad selection of English texts from the 1300s to the early 1700s, and notin what continuities and changes in attitudes there were.

Of course, I acknowledge that there are overlaps and so on, and that not everyone in- say- the Restoration period felt the same way about certain topics, but we are trying to consider very general trends.

So... One thing that puzzles me is Medieval attitudes to sex, and how these attitudes are reflected in the literature.

From much of the love poetry we've examined, sexuality seems almost entirely absent, whereas many later poets such as Donne, Marvell, Robert Herrick, Richard Lovelace and so on would discuss sex rather casually.

In Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, there are different attitudes to sex. In the Franklin's Tale having sex is enough to make Dorigen want to commit suicide, whereas some of the other tales are rather bawdy and so on...

Is there any sort of way you could describe the "general" middle English attitude towards sex? (although I realise that this might be impossible... I only ask for it in very broad terms)

Thank you for your time!

Answer by keith b
Sex was really not the object of discussion back then, so it makes sense that it was not commonly mentioned in literature. For the most part, any mention of it was strictly taboo, and most people pretended that sex was not something people wanted to do, it was something that must be done. They saw it as very hedonistic and unbecoming.

Baby Boy

BABY BOY - DVD MovieA worthy companion piece to 1991's Boyz N the Hood, John Singleton's

Baby Boy

expresses compassionate but unforgiving criticism of young, African American black men who lead reckless, irresponsible lives while blithely blaming racism for their chronic disadvantage. That's already enough to make this a provocative and emotionally challenging film, but Singleton injects his drama with such passionate vitality that it never seems inflammatory; instead, in presenting this portrait of a confused and conflicted 20-year-old black man named Jody (Tyrese Gibson), Singleton is both affectionate and accusatory, lending

Baby Boy

an edgy, timeless wisdom that other, less courageous films could never hope to offer.

Unemployed and living with his 36-year-old mother (A.J. Johnson), Jody has fathered children from two young mothers and seems destined for an early grave. He never knew his father, but his mother's new boyfriend Melvin (played to perfection by Ving Rhames) is an ex-con with streetwise maturity that Jody, in time, will come to recognize and respect. This generational dynamic is the lifeblood of Singleton's central theme; Jody can follow Melvin's example or fall into the trap of lawlessness personified by Rodney (Snoop Dogg), a violent gangsta who arrives to threaten Jody's tenuous chance at a respectable adulthood. Through a wealth of fine performances and blistering dialogue,

Baby Boy

presents hard questions with no easy answers, and although Singleton is prone to polemical melodrama, his blunt approach serves a noble and ultimately hopeful purpose. --Jeff Shannon

Women, getting, from, About, Want, they, Think, withholding



by PurpleValentine

Question by Keeley:

What do you think about women withholding sex as a way of getting what they want from a man?

I've heard a lot of advice on these boards, telling women to stop having sex with their partner until they give them what they want. Although this might work, i think it's a horrible way of going about it. In my opinion sex should be equally enjoyed by the two of you, not used as a reward. What do you think?




Best answer:

Answer by Trem
I think it's silly to assume that men are that easily manipulated.

Contrary to popular belief, they are in fact people, not sex-mad maniacs who will do anyone's bidding for a BJ.

What do you think? Answer below!
