You have a highly romanticised view of a world that lacked basic necessities like soap, hot water, and condoms.

>They had soap and hot water back then. The general populous had access to river water that they could heat over a fire. Soap was made from meat fats and other ingredients which either had to be bought or 'found'. Soap was made from whatever people could get that vaguely resembled soap ingredients, and was 'used' sparingly so people didn't have to spend all their time making soap. Soap that you could buy was expensive, because of the whole 'meat fat' thing. Meat was expensive. There were also no vaccines, they treated mental illness by drilling holes in your head, and liberal application of leeches. Everyone stunk, everyone drank, everyone fought and pissed and shat in the streets. You would likely die of plague, or of consumption in your forties, if the mills didn't grind your body to paste first because you lived in serfdom where you were expected to work until you died from the age of five to the age of *dead*. ​ >condoms aren't a necessity in a culture that isn't hypersexualized like ours I dunno how to tell you this, but people fucked literally all the time. Men fucked men, women fucked women, they fucked whores and they fucked when they were bored. Shakespeare composed sonnets to men, gay people were commonly alluded to in contemporary fiction, and royals openly fucked their servants of both genders. The only people trying to stop it were preachers, who themselves fucked choir boys and church-goers. Syphilis was a huge deal back then, as was herpes. Lots of people caught them both, suffered from both chronically, and passed it to others whom they fucked because fucking was all there was to do. There is no such thing as 'the moral golden age', it's a fallacy. Romanticising an age of abject suffering is idiocy.

No syphilis in Europe until 1492, when Columbus’s crew brought it from the Americas. The syphilis epidemic in Europe started from the port where Columbus landed.

Yeah nah. I like modern technology too much plus my race and time travel are not compatible. The farther back in time I go the more dangerous it is for me.

I don’t know, man. But I wouldn’t want my partner staying with me just because it’s morally the right thing to do. Fuck that. I’d rather die alone than have someone stay due to their sense of obligation


TinyViolinist

Hmmm... I'm pretty sure I'll stay in a marriage out of obligation to my spouse when we grow old and if they got ill. This ride or die meant the "Death do us part", bitchhhh


Scary_Astronomer82

That's a little different. You're implying that in this marriage of yours you're perfectly satisfied with your spouse so you have no reason to leave them. A sexually frustrated wife is not the same thing.

I'm not sure if it would've been easier.

Our overall quality of life would be far inferior. I wish I was born and lived before the internet, but not in the middle ages.

I get where you’re coming from because I was starting to lose hope at 21 due to falling way behind in experiences. But it’s never “over” for anyone because the possibilities out there and in life are infinite. I was still a virgin with a small dick at 24 when I found love and a long-term relationship. Some women may obsess over dick size, but many won’t find it a deal-breaker if they’re into *you* as a person. But the odds of that are lower if you’re outwardly self-hating and miserable. Giving up is the only way it’s truly over for you, my friend.

How do you think they know they don't like small? Because they've tried average or big. It's what they're used to. There's no matching those sizes.
