We created a new game show that I want to exist called, what's the medieval deal with blank, such as sexualizing fruits, pubic hair, oral sex - what is the medieval deal with these things? And we talk about everything going on in the medieval times from conceptions of marriage and love to dildos and strap ons. We talk about the origins of sex negative Christianity, how people in medieval Europe perceived female sexuality, sodomy, sex work and queer people. The Middle Ages is often a very misunderstood time so I was very excited to dive into this conversation with Eleanor. And it is graphic in both senses of the word. And it is called The Middle Ages: A Graphic Guide. Her first general audience book, which basically means a book for us non academic types, is out now.
And she also teaches at the London School of Economics. She's a historian specializing in sexuality, apocalyptic thought, society, propaganda, and the urban experience in the late medieval period. You may know Eleanor from her Twitter account and blog, Going Medieval. And so I love when I get to explore sexual history on this podcast with some incredible experts. And it was during that three years that I got a taste of the history of sex and quickly became obsessed. So some of you may know that I studied history at university. Welcome to Doing It with me, Hannah Witton, where we talk all things sex, relationships, dating and our bodies.
They're like, God dammit, I, like, just no, hey, God only likes p in v. And the church is absolutely desperate in the Middle Ages to get everyone to knock off all the sodomy. That's the kind of, that's the sort of sex you have for that. And that's the one that you'd like you do, you know, for family and God and like King and Country blah blah blah. You have the unfun penis in vagina sex with your husband because you know like that's what's probably going to get you pregnant.
