Lured into bread: Women in the medieval period would knead DOUGH on their body before baking it and serving it to their husbands in the hope it would improve their sex lives, historian reveals

Thanks for setting me straight.

It was the melted honey butter that made the difference.

Brings a new meaning to “The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach.”

You need to warm up the oven before you shove in the meat.

When I get home from work I want it hot and on the table.

[laxcoach]

My gosh.

Mid evil women had to lure their men into sex?

What complete bs, unless the festering welts and smells coming from both of them grossed everyone out.

In my lifetime, whenever my wife is ready, I was already ready.

This just seems stupid.

And God said,

“Now I’ll never get that smell out of the fish!”

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Pretty much.

Slathering honey on yourself is also a bunch of nonsense.

Honey was valuable and treasured. Only a rich person, who would not be doing her own cooking, would have used it in anyway besides to eat.

I guess that nifty phrase “Universal Precautions” had no meaning back then.

“Eww, especially when bathing was an option in those days.”

Bathing was an occasional activity in many places until just a few decades ago. In Victorian England, the wealthy bathed only about 3 times a month. The poor bathed once a month with the whole family using the same water. In many parts of Europe, families STILL don’t have running hot water and must use water heaters which are above their tubs. Due to the cost of using these, many families are STILL bathing only once a week and washing themselves at the bathroom sink the other 6 days of the week.

it was probably important to have lots of kids, in those days.

They must have saved a lot of money on yeast.

[Sapwolf]

So I should get married cause it might raise my fibre intake.

Seems pretty costly to me.

[Organic Panic]

Well... When I lived in Poland....

[Tell It Right]

Is that a breadstick in your pocket or are you glad to see me?

[meadsjn]

Did the History Expert tell of the Saxon method of escorting homos/pedophiles away from the villages in the dead of night, then dismantling the carcass, and leaving the parts for scavenging animals?

No publicity, no fanfare.

Honey also contains arsenic which will kill what ails you.

[beethovenfan]

“Honey, how come your p**** tastes like bread?”

[bunkerhill7]

Is this how pizza was invented?

[Mears]

They use bidets…we don’t.

Someone wanted a pizza ass.
