one for one.

Two out of three are no longer existing societies/cultures and the other is a religion, not a culture... Besides which the Middle ages were rife with sexual depravity. If you want to look at religions, Catholicism is still going strong despite a large number of well documented cases of sexual deviancies. In fact, in the Middle ages the Popes weren't supposed to be with women but that didn't stop them fornicating their way through that period of history. You really, really need to read up more on history

yes of course they did, but that was not supposed to be normal.



about the religion, i was making alusion to their culture.
about the no longer existing, yes, they have fallen.....

catholic deviancies (i was looking for that word) were most of all applyed to the clergé
they did it, but it wasnt normal.

Who are you to say what is normal?

[spudmonkey]

But it was normal. You are judging it by your standards rather than accepting it for what it was. If you believe the external face of Victorian society in England then you would think that everyone was chaste, whereas in fact it turns out that the society was rampant with scandals or orgies and promiscuity, and the Victorian age really was a golden era

And lets not forget how a certain piece of jewellery got named after Prince Albert.

Or Catherine the Great and her love of horses.

Or James I who had a love of lap dogs...

History is great

[L2K]

the libertinage was very fashion in france... hop, french revolution.

im judging normal about what people of this era said about it.

Also, perhaps the "normal historical duration" of a society ought to be calibrated according to the state of civilization, like prices by inflation: what would be the normal life expectancy for a XXI Century society?

We are a randy species. That is a constant. The activities don't change, some just go into hiding at different times in different cultures,

Er, no, you're not, or if you are then it's a very select group of people who are not aware of their history. There was a period where even historians tried to romanticize the past, but those days are over and have been for a long time
