Limited Sexual Activity Was Advised

Medical logic at the time said that too much sexual activity "overheated the body," according to Joseph Patrick Byrne's The Black Death, and this allowed "bad air" to enter the body through one's pores, increasing the chances of catching the plague. Heavy breathing during sex might also lead to inhaling too much "bad air." A German physician even advised that "all physical exertions and emotions of the mind," including running, jumping, jealousy, and "licentiousness" should be totally avoided, lest you catch the dreaded Black Death. What could one do? They could "spend their time ... relating tales and stories and with good music to delight their hearts." Sexy!

There was orgies in graveyards

The Black Death was a stressful time to be alive, for obvious reasons. One way to cope, according to historian David Herlihy in The Black Death and the Transformation of the West, was showing "revulsion toward death and the dead" by celebrating life... with cemetery orgies! That's right: at Avignon Champfleur cemetery, for example, things got so bad that a papal official had to threaten the "fornicators and adulterers" with excommunication for committing "unseemly acts" on the graves. Prostitutes even took advantage of this "celebration of ... victory, however temporary, over death" to solicit in the cemeteries. It wasn't all fornication: revelers also dared to dance, fight, throw dice, and play other "unseemly" games among the graves as well.

Have you ever wondered what sex during the Black Death was like? It sounds sick and twisted, but life goes on, as they say, even during an epidemic. People are still people, even when a ton of people are dying (at least 75 million died during the epidemic). Sex during the Black Plague (another common name for it) was in many ways a lot like sex during the rest of the Middle Ages, but the extreme conditions led to some extreme expressions of sexuality.

Sexual activity during the Black Death was in some ways pretty wild, with some "revelers" deciding to hump the rest of their seemingly short lives away. But doctors at the time were also telling people to avoid overexerting themselves in the bedroom because they thought the "bad air" would reach them easier if they did. Read on to learn more about what sex during the Black Death was really like.

If you think techno who's not ranked among top 15 rich Nigeria artist can give out N5m, then you must be a kid dreaming of unicorns or your gullibility have no end.

Dude is a celebrity. What can he do to overshadow the arranged beef btw Davido and wizkid, well that's your answer.

Rich4god:
This is science at wrk.... Wen will naija medic line advance like this.

Why spend adequate funding on science when the citizens believe with the touch of hands, drinking of tap water and creaming with vegetable oil, your problems are over.
Keep waiting brother.

oz4real83:
This is a world where u aren't even sure of what will happen tomorrow or how u will look tomorrow. It is good to always appreciate God for what u have no matter how ''small'' u feel it is. Many people dont have such grace. When u thank God for the present,he will take care of the future.

Are you telling me he doesn't know God? You guys should stop this nonsense of seeing bad things happening to people and rub it on their face because you are serving a living God and they are apparently to your testimonies they are serving dead gods. Just wish him speedy recovery, strength to overcome stigmatization and find reasons to live.

Of course she knows she's famous because her dad got the money. She has no talent, she's not a brainiac, she hasn't developed or innovated anything, so yeah she knows.
Don't go telling people things they know already, otherwise you will look like the fool in the discussion.

She's famous cos of dad and she concur. I too concur as well. NEXT..

Sirpaul:
why not use that jazz go school instead...
na wa ooo

It's not jazz o. What you think is jazz is a powerful concoction made to drug the animal.

Many of you shouting juju, do you know an animal can be drugged. How do you think wild animals in the zoo are treated? Have you guys heard of tranquilizer?
If not for early civilization by the Egyptians, education, innovations and inventions by majority of the white, I wonder what cave Africa would have become.

It looks like humility but she just didn't something below par. You don't act like this to your fans for their love. I hope she was told by other celebrities not to act as such again.
Too much respect to mortal and you actually lose your self worth.

And to that guy that said her clothing look like Wonder Woman, I actually looked closely and I noticed what she needed afterwards was a sword and shield.

And to that fraud bet naija agent, trolling every page, nah trailer go fall on you last last. Thunder strike any doctor way try resuscitate you and tsunami consume who ever go attend your burial. Idiot.

Naija artist and their wack songs. I listened to his latest song yesterday on Ben Tv and all I could hear was "nah lie?" From Harrysongs. Even my Hispanic friend was wondering if it was music or quiz test. I swear shame catch me.

Op you just killed animal that has the most expensive liquid (venom) in the world.

From the story, the assassins had no beef with his family despite them being kidnaped along with the man. This killing is very personal and he may have provoked it. No surprises if a forensics examination is done, only to find out that he's into some shady business and was killed by a rival or same gang members who felt betrayed. Well, my condolences to his family.

Best decision ever taken by any school authorities. We are too religious and we tend to deceive ourselves about reality. You send your children to uni to learn and gain recent knowledge, instead they chose to be a SU "daddy and mummy" and neglect their reasons for being there in the first place.

UgoFly:


Your parents queued to enter the school too?

My parents are highly civilized. They will queue to wait their turn on an event. What's the rush?

sisisioge:


OK o...I know you work for Babcock. Biko direct your plea for understanding to the appropriate quarters. I'm no where close to being your direct or indirect customer... I don finish school and I never born

Sorry to disappoint you but I don't work for Babcock.

sisisioge:


Dude, take a good look at that queue and think again. That was demeaning! By the way, my side job makes me attend different events. It is a taboo to make guests queue to enter a hall. If there's any reason for that to happen, a smaller space/hall is usually set up to take the crowd at once before sitting them in the main hall. This small hall( they like to stamp it as a cocktail lounge) is usually conducive such that the guests won't even realize they are filing.

This particular event organizers are tasteless. Whew!

If it's a taboo to make guest queue before entry then I am sad to say the security of the organizers is lacking.
Club (cocobar) that we go to buy drinks for ridiculous prices, and get turned down by ugly ladies, despite our money and fallen ego, we still have to queue.
Orderliness and security surpasses pleasing your guests. This is convocation and not lecture attendees. Please understand

sisisioge:


It shouldn't have been like that no matter the kind of order they wanted at the venue. Forget the amount they paid as tuition fee, they are guest that should have been treated with respect. Why ask parents to queue? They should have set order in a less degrading manner dude!

There are two major reason you queue for an occasion, orderliness and security. I haven't been to the uni to tell of its space but they are queuing for some reasons unknown to us. Despite your huge airline ticket, you still have to queue. Is the airplane ready? Yes, Are their adequate air staffs? Yes, so why should you still queue?

UgoFly:



OK. if you haven't attended any convocation outside Nigeria, at least you can google for pictures on it. But no, you must first of all insult yourself and your country men.

You are speaking to a graduate of the university of Greenwich, England (BSc), Msc at Glasgow Caledonian university, Scotland. So I know what I am saying. To receive your award despite your millions on tuitions, you still have to QUEUE.

kizzy34:
This is a clear indication they don't treat their students well at all if they could treat their parents this way

How do you want them to treat the parents? Should they rent gold throne coated in sparkling diamonds for them? Queuing is nothing new to civilized people. Diplomats even queued at the airport, conference center or the bathroom.

So because they pay 5M they go barge into the venue like some uncultured Apes? Have you wondered if this was done to make the process orderly, cultured and civilized. An average Nigerian is very rash and impatient, so for you to see this means the people involved are understanding and get the idea of what's going on.

Typical Nigerians who think because he pay a bus fee deserve to sit on one seat and place his bags on the other.

Nah trailer go jam you die last last. Continue with your dirty life. Pig

Whoever watched this video to the end will know that Jude is a scum, a scoundrel and a despicable person who give hopeless to humanity. He got two babies from her, one autistic son and another daughter, she stayed with Jude and supported him for 9 good years and after the idiot got his passport, he just left her like trash. Jude friend is denying ever knowing him, yet from what I understand he spoke to her and promised to talk to Jude and sort things out, yet he did nothing but folly promises to the woman. The woman is heart broken and she's very unstable because to her Jude is her world but to Jude, she's his meal ticket, without consideration for the offsprings from the relationship.
Yes it's wrong she lashed out her anger on the wrong shop because she doesn't know the whereabout of yeye jude but what do you expect from a heartbroken woman?

Her words "Because of Jude I stayed to support him for 9 years. From Jude I got two lovely children but Jude himself is trash"

solasoulmusic:
let me just state I am not in support of what he did theft is wrong but I feel for him as a first time offender but it is a stench warning nothing you do against a person in this life that is bad can ever go away and my family members are not scammers o

The straight and narrow path is long but trust me the rewards are for eternity not five minutes of fame

What makes you think this is his first time? What wealth has he acquired to permit him to spend miscellaneous on private jet ride? Even some billionaires don't fly private because they know how hard it is to make wealth and stupid to spend just to satisfy vanity. Only wannabe does.
He's a blood scam and fraud and thank God he was caught in the US. Let me see how he would bribe his way out of this mess. Jail term between 10-20years await him.

hucienda:
why fear for him? His fake lifestyle caught up with him.

besides make davido comot $22500 from d 'taati' billion for im akant help use bail am.

Where Davido see that kind money if not for his papa account? Davido himself know say nah joke he dey when he call that kind money for his name.

About 90%of Nigerian celebrities (singer, comedians, and even pastors) aquire the majority of their wealth from fraud. We see these people living large above their earnings and majority will look up to them not knowing that money doesn't come easy or grow on trees. Daniela okeke, hushpappi, useless mike, yung6ix, and many more are all into either prostitution, or yahoo yahoo; not a secret. But in Nigeria, we celebrate rubbish. One dey claim say he get 30b for account and nah music be him profession. Continue.
