About This Book

The author offers a scholarly survey of sexual customs and social attitudes in German-speaking lands across earlier historical periods, tracing practices from rural household life and forest-based rituals through monastic regulations and marriage customs. Chapters examine prostitution, bathing and dance cultures, beauty ideals, clothing, and folk beliefs including love magic, and consider legal and moral sanctions surrounding chastity, adultery, and gender roles. The work blends ethnographic description, legal and religious context, and cultural observation to map continuities and changes in intimacy, honor, and social norms.
