The chastity belt was not a medieval invention. It was Victorian. Sex was not to be enjoyed outside of the marital bed and “good” women only “accommodated” their husbands to obtain children.
The first real chastity belts weren’t created until the *1800s, and they weren’t for keeping women from straying sexually. The first chastity belts appear to have been crude devices designed to keep children from masturbating. ~ Paul Joannides Psy.D.; Psychology Today
*PAK’s emphasis
Eleanor knows only the most basic rudiments of sexual relations between a male and a female; a male puts his “breeding” organ into a female. That she has even this information is because she lives on a breeding farm and has seen a stallion with a mare. She couldn’t have given you the anatomical names for the sexual parts of her own body and at the ripe age of thirty, had never seen a man with so much as his shirt off. While she has had an unconventional education in many areas, she is as ignorant as any woman of her time when it comes to matters pertaining to sex.
The Earl of Rutledge, the Countess of Rutledge and the Dowager Duchess of Chelsony, indeed all of Miles’ patronesses, grew up in the bawdy and licentious Georgian period, a vastly different environment with a vastly different attitude toward women than that of the late Regency. If you are interested in some fascinating sexual romps, read some of the biographies of the more promiscuous men and women (especially the women!) of the Georgian era.
Happy reading!
