[quote=idlehands] In the Middle Ages they were expected to resist sexual advances by anyone other than their husbands. I don't think being called a prude was something to worry about but the opposite. If they were open about their sexuality they could end up being labeled a loose woman all the way up to being forced into a priory or even called a witch. [/quote] Yes, but this is the same time era where the pillage of towns and the rape of woman were fully acceptable act's culturally. It's not hard to imagine a man may act entitled to a woman's body.
