Morality And Sex

Where does this come from? Abstaining from sex, or chastity, is such a middle ages concept. The purpose of chastity was to keep a man’s wife faithful while he galavanted around taking part in a myriad of wars and jousting tournaments etc. He of course did not have to abide by the same rules.

It was also meant to ensure that young girls would not be ’soiled’ before marriage. All of the above having one purpose. The man’s possession, the wife present or future, was truly his and untouched by anybody else. On the other hand it could also have started when Christianity first came onto the scene. The Romans and Greeks certainly didn’t seem to have the same moral issues about sex.
