Medieval Sex: The Rampant Outbreak of Sexually Transmitted Diseases During The Middle Ages...

- Опубликовано: 9 июл 2024
- Throughout human history one thing has remained constant, namely the enjoyment of having sex, but by the late Middle Ages both gonorrhoea and syphilis were widespread. Although the poor could only make do with superstition and herbal remedies, the rich could rely on their expensive physicians. Without antibiotics though the success of any treatment was mostly based on luck. Especially when you consider that one popular medication, for those who could afford it, was mercury ointment, which we now know to be toxic and would end up fatally poisoning the patient anyway.
Welcome to Medieval Madness.

Quite frankly I find the idea of sex before we had showers and proper soap to be horrifying.
Kind of agree! This is before Gillette,no wonder it was done in the dark!
Very kinky and stinky
That must of been so nasty and rank
@@quercus5398 that's why Gillette turn off their comment section? 🤣 🙄🤔
@@Agent-ie3uv modern man in general have no idea of what went on way back in time,only women can relate to this topic!
And it’s not pretty.....unfortunately!
For all my complaints about modern life, I'm glad that we're at least no longer plagued by syphilis. What a horror!
Then ya find out how recently penicillin was invented and holy shit!... Parasites are a thing, barely contained by regulations as well.
Wait, you guys arent plagued by syphilis anymore?!
That is actually not correct. Syphilis numbers are on the rise again and there is regular patients at hospitals all over the world. It is treatable but some people suffer a lot and it can have irreversible effects on body and brain.
i got bad news...
Unfortunately, it has become resistant to macrolides (ex. zpak), and is mostly only susceptible to penicillins these days (sucks if you are allergic!) But I get what you are saying - compared to medieval times, we understand how it is transmitted better and can prevent pandemic-like spread thanks to condoms😢 and our limited treatment options
This is why being modest in sex was so critical and I am so grateful for penicillin and modern medicine!!
Modesty is nothing more than a made up concept for men to blame women for being raped , assaulted or treated like garbage. It was considered immodest if women dared to show their ankles, let alone her collar bones, oh my god the horror!!
No doubt! Especially anaesthesia!!!
@crudecod that sounds rapey
What exactly is “modest in sex”? Is that when you have sex fully clothed in the dark or something? Also, when was anyone modest about sex? Well, besides only verbally in public, otherwise, people have always been pretty randy. Except for Japan, they’re so conservative their population is literally in decline because they’ve twisted themselves into a knot so badly about sex, no one is having any.
Good grief I am so glad to live in modern times with modern medicine. The amount of diseases and horrific illnesses back then with no one having a clue what they were doing to treat them
only in one tiny part of the planet, the American continent which is one whole half of the planet never had those horrific diseases until those disgusting europeans arrived just a few hundred years ago. So for almost Americas whole existence they lived free and without those diseases.
Speaking of modern medicine, I just took an antibiotic for a very severe UTI. My doctor said if it isn't better in three days I need to go to the hospital. As much as I hate hospitals, I'm grateful they are there. I've had a uti before, but not like this. I can only imagine just how much people suffered back then. Horrendous. 😢
Really heartbreaking how the only mention of women who were sick is twice where you say they were simply ‘banished’. So while the men were receiving treatments, sympathy and medicine, the women were literally sent to die alone for the exact same illnesses?
just like women are being sentenced to death now. forcing them to carry dangerous pregnancy to term risking their lives instead of allowing abortion access in the american south
europeans are truly a romantic bunch : P
Ik women think they are so important but y’all really just be in the way

That made me laugh to hard.

- peter griffin
The association people make with purity and virginity is heavily influenced by this historical sexual hygiene problem
I would agree.
What is perhaps most surprising, is that IF one survived it, treatment with Mercury sometimes DID cure Syphillis-or drive it into long-term remission. There are several historical examples of infected men being treated with Mercury-who went on to live long lives, apparently free of infection…
Did it really cure it tho? Or did they have immune systems that fought it off and they just so happened to be taking Mercury? And mercury got the credit
@@andrewc318 ….Yeah, unfortunately, that’s one point that will never be answered with certainty.….But I was intrigued over why the use of Mercury as a cure for Syphillis was so ubiquitous during this era-when its terrible (often fatal) side effects were well known, even among the common people…
Given these facts, I was looking for one answer : “ Why, if ineffective, was relatively cheap Mercury consistently used-when far more exotic ( and more expensive ) “quack” cures could have been pushed by physicians, instead ?” (My Master’s dissertation was on 17th-19th C British Medicine )
Looking at patient records from the greater London area ( mainly St. Guy’s & St. Bart’s), in around 25-30% of patients given the “Mercury Cure,” their Syphillis DID appear to go into remission….But because Syphillis will often do so on its own ( only to come raging back, 2-20 years later ), I could only rely on those patients for whom long-term records were available. Of this group ( of 42), 15 remained symptom-free, 20+ years after the original treatment …
Of course, this doesn’t represent “proof.” I just think that our ancestors weren’t that dissimilar to us, when it came to medical care : because Syphillis was such a common affliction, most men would have friends who had had it-and would know the treatments they had received ( and whether they “worked” or not )….If Mercury didn’t have at least some successes, I just think it doubtful that it would have continued to have been employed….As for one’s “immune system” curing Syphillis, there are no medical examples of this, that I am aware of (however, those with very strong immune systems might, in theory, have their Syphillis go into permanent remission) ….Syphillis was, and is, such a virulent & aggressive disease, such individuals would be rare, indeed
@@andrewc318 seems to be placebo effect.
Thanks to Black Adder, the word "syphilis" makes me laugh every time I hear it.
Baldrick: "But, my lord! I've been in your family since 1532!"

😅😅😅 just put a leech on your manhood😅😅😅
We're still in medieval ages with HIV. In my country, Russia, we're having an epidemic of HIV. 1 million infected. The Solution? To use condoms? No, no, this is Russia, the solution is - traditional family values! Which in theory is great, but in reality people still love to fuck around, condom usage is neglected, add to that widespread drug addiction.
Also certain horror stories from Africa comes to mind. In South Africa, I believe, some idiots believe that to cure HIV you need to have sex with HIV negative person, even children, sick bastards.
OK, you sound like hand outs are "obviously owed" because people are savages and can't keep it in their pants...
Didn't the majority of Russia HIV cases come from IV drug use in the 90s and early 2000s?
Bad mix. I believe things will get better.
not surprising at all haha
"Hitting genitals with a heavy object" - sounds more like a punishment.
Possibly meant to be both
Considering the extent that life revolved around religion at the time, and the fact that illness was directly associated with sin (as mentioned in the video), penitence was very likely a factor in determining this "cure".
It makes me think two things: one, that the idea was that you would at least be too sore to spread it around, and two, that some fed up doctor had seen a bunch of faithful wives getting it from their husband's cheating, and was like, "how about you punch yourself in the dick, asshole? 😠"
To be fair once you were aware of the treatment you were less likely to catch it?
speak for yourself! I got aroused just thinking about it...
Penicillin treats syphilis just as effectively today as it did when it was first discovered to cure it. However Gonorrhoea has mutated over time and now we are on our last line of defence with antibiotics to cure this STI.
We are about to have gonorhea epidemic again.
@@adamandsteve13 really? Did you read that somewhere?
So keep it in your pants people
So the moral of the story is to get your gonorrhea NOW before the antibiotics stop working!
@@SteedRuckus I’ve stocked up on my gonorrhoea for years now! Certainly enough to go around
It’s so sad that this was spread through rape as well.
The worst part is that many of these women would get infected AND pregnant by their rpists ...
Very sorry to them.

Absolutely, it’ll always be the woman at fault. Everything. Always.
Of course they blamed women. Some things never change, men frolicking like rabid dogs and spreading diseases then blaming women, who were stigmatized for showing ankle, let alone having sex so openly and “lustily”.
PREACHH
Women are (and probably were) just as promiscuous - if not even more so - than men. Look it up.
Being a man, never fails😅
and, as stated in the vid, were r-worded for being virgins.......
Not just that but also pressured and coerced and raped into having the sex they didn't want with men they didn't choose and its still somehow the woman s fault for the man's unnatural proclivities
I found this channel last week and I am so addicted to this! I love it! you made me find my love for history! Thank you
I wish I could get amnesia so I could binge this channel all over again
how about just getting stoned as fuck?
I wish I could get amnesia so I can forget what syphilus is.
Just watch it again. It's called studying.
Maybe hou can get hypnotized and forget that you watched it all

The scientists at Pompeii found skeletal remains with syphilis. So the Columbus angle is not accurate.
When you think about how this happened not long ago (the 1500s was only 500 years ago, when you think about that in generations, it’s NOT long), it’s scary.
And it still happening in many third world countries today...
@@peasant8246Yes but no
It's super long! Like I barely remember dial-up, but this is from even ancientier times with black and white TVs and stuff.
I'm not gay because I love men. I'm gay cuz sex with a woman scares me, we are not the same- that old french dude
I like a Woman's body but their personalities are fucking shit nowadays so I just stick with Men. They're easy and at least I know what I'm getting and what to expect.
In order to be gay, you have to do sex things with the same sex. AIDS ain't called the gay disease for nothing
you’re still gay
LIES! Men used to sleep with sheep and this is where syphilis came from. Look it up! European men are disgusting and they spread disease around the world. The Moors from African had to come there and teach them hygiene and sanitation and teach them about soap.
Lmfao 😂😂😂
I believe research has shown Syphilis was in England several centuries before Columbus.
i have an exam in 4 days and instead of studying for it im watching medieval sex

Women being blamed....yet again.
It feels like that when you never take accountability for anything.

@@angelaatwood46 You’re probably not that special or unique. You’re actually pretty common to me so far because you think that I need to know you to predict your mentality or that your accomplishments actually mean anything to me
Modern research has cast substantial and significant doubt over the New World origin theory of syphilis, with pre-existing instances of disease having been discovered. It’s important to keep this in mind.
I like how they say women or more lustful than men, but in every photo that depicts both man and woman, the man is lusting over the woman in a rapey way with the woman’s facial expressions being disgusted…
Projection.
Ikr! Seems very sus to me.
men flip everything to their benefit haven't you realized that by now? and it's ALL about the 🍆
There has always been the desire to depict women in a way that preserves their desirability. Until Onlyfans and PHub were invented lol
It’s just misogynistic beliefs of the time. “Women cause me to feel lust, therefore they’re the lustful ones!”
Side note: There is a fair bit of evidence in paleopathological records to indicate syphilis and the voyages of Columbus have little in common, as it appears to have existed on both sides of the pond before 1492.
Thank you! I wish the myth that Native Americans gave Columbus's men syphilis would be better explained. However, they might have brought back a different strain. Apparently syphilis started as a non-sexually transmitted childhood disease but evolved into something more sinister.
Stop blaming the Natives Europeans spread diseases everywhere on their conquests!
Maybe there were settlers before Columbus...oh wait, there were
@@user-ee6gp5gv5l History books that white people already explained this. White folks have bad hygiene the natives taught yall how to bathe.
Can we really blame those people for believing sex and prostitution were evil? They had to regularly watch people they knew die mainly because that person had multiple partners.
Pls don't make that a point against the fact it IS "problematic" you can't live in the 21st century and say sexual liberation was a godsend...
Is kissing evil? We can spread alot of deseases via mouth
yes we can because they were completely stupid. idgaf if it was the olden times, that is a stupid conclusion to come to. believing that people are evil and that’s why you’re dropping dead? LMAO
Prostitution is evil because people shouldn’t be able to be sold.
No scientific evidence for that.
5:22 "any sexual act not done for the sole purpose of procreation" so what about the women waylaid & raped, impregnated & infected by their attacker? What about married women whose husbands had the disease unbeknownst to them? The children born to women with venereal disease can of course be affected & infected.
Yes, correct. The point is they did not know that; germ theory was hundreds of years away during this period of time. This was established many points over throughout the video. You can thank religion for this one, I think.
They can't apply that much logic, logical thinking was a crime in middle ages.
8:57 they literally address this in the video lol
@@yayhandles ah yes, not knowing germ theory has to do with religion... not with stupidity of doctors who stubbornly refused to wash their hands even in early 20th century.
Diseases infiltrating the nerve tissues are so weird. It's almost like nerve cells are a form of stem cells, causing odd growths and ulcers like a cancer.
The nervous system is a great hideout of plenty of diseases that are so hard to treat. Even HSV1 & 2 has the same problem where it hides out in the nervous system and causes outbreaks from time to time.
Would be interesting if there was a connection between certain sexual partners and various types of cancers certain people contract
Never been happier to be voluntarily celibate than when I watch videos like this lol
Hearing about how medieval people lived really puts things into perspective in general. I’m glad I live the relatively free and comfortable life I do today.

There are no records how women suffered, as it simply didn't matter to the men. But they were happy to blame women whenever it suited them. It's simply despicable how women were treated throughout history.

Hi, I love your channel but there is a mistake in this video. Syphilis was around in Europe before it was in the Americas. Tombs have been found in England I think, dated before 1492, and the bodies had Syphilis (it touches bones in late stage of the disease). No bodies in the Americas dated before the invasion of Europe had Syphilis, but some where found after.
This myth is in part because it's always better to blame the "savages" for diseases of course.
Sorry, but even scientists don't clarify this with 100%. We don't exactly know any evidence to an actual origin to this virus. I think people brought it with them when came from Asia to America and it evolved that way. But it also was evolving in Europe as well. As we don't know much of epidemics before Columbus to this disease, I bet it really came from America as a diverted version to which europeans did not have an immunity. But again and again we don't know this, so let's not spread lies making them sound like truth, he is right at some point and you may also, however nothing is clear on this battle of science
@@dieweltisteinbuch1962 good point, but syphilis is a bacteria, not virus.

Ya smh when its my time, I have a lot of questions for him for all this bs we experience in this world
Because all of this nonsense about germs or "viruses" causing disease is unscientific nonsense. Sick people dont make healthy people sick. Theres no pathogens floating through the air waiting to "infect" you. Nature isnt a Hollywood movie as many people believe.
With diseases mutating, our immune systems evolved for survival. Almost every living thing does that.

I found the Tumblr feminist everyone.
How I am even here is amazing. It’s also amazing how resilient genes are, that we are all descended from these diseased ignorant people, yet our genes managed to still produce humans not mutants.
That's because genes don't transmit stuff you got through life. None of the things you do in life, from working out to getting sick, will leave a mark on your genetics, your genes stay the same.
Are you playing a medieval version of a Marvin Gaye song in the background 😂
They certainly did not have any idea about incubation periods, if they were attributing disease to a specific day after visiting a brothel.
These men already had leprosy & did not get it from the one the just had sex with because it takes nearly a year for the first signs of the infection to show.
5:13 In case you were looking for the thumbnail...

"Hitting the genitals with a heavy object." What a way to live. Ouch.
Man I love modern medicine
I wonder if people back then were more, or less promiscuous than people today in Europe and the Americas? We rather assume that they were more religious and virtuous, but that may be inaccurate.
We see a correlation with many religiously suppressed people growing up and indulging in unsafe and risky sexual behaviors. So it’s not doubtful people were more promiscuous considering the lack of proper hygiene and education about our bodies and how germs and disease work.
@@rattgod it probably also depended on class and country.
"lets get it on" harpsichord goes crazyyyyyy
Nothing has changed. Men spread the disease and women deal with the blame and stigma.

Women are also dirty and can spread diseases believe it or not. I think that’s more true today than before with this whole sexual liberation movement you women have been going though. Free the nipple right?
I blame YOU WOMAN!!!
Who broke your heart lol?
Nothing to do with a broken heart. Just facts. Women are still second class citizens. Get paid less. And deal with the stigmas of STIs and sex in general. And yeah we are the ones who also have to deal with birth control. The list could go on. In 1000 years, shit hasn't changed much.

Its easy to avoid the consequences of illicit venery--quite simple. Abstain from sex altogether, or until marriage, then fidelity after marriage. A guaranteed way to keep you free from sexual diseases of any kind.
Rape still happened back then though. So even if many women and men were faithful to their spouses, that doesn’t mean there still wouldn’t have been rape of both men and women that would also spread the disease.
Adultery was still pretty common
Or practice safe sex, that's also an option
Thank goodness I want alive back then. As sexually active I was in my late teens and 20s, is definitely would have caught syphilis, gonorrhea, TB, the Black plague, leprosy, a cold, everything🥴
😂
We relatate to the middle ages by the ignorance when it comes to stigmatizing something only being possible to infect some people or coming from some. It happened when aids came around and people only believed that gays, prostitutes or drug user could be infected or have HIV.
That's a wonkey ass comparison because you know plenty of those people DID have aids 😅???

That’s when free love was re discovered
Women got blamed for everything... 😢
even today. pathetic.
Yes even when they tried to help people but because of religion the witch hunts happen
only on that side of the planet, on the other side the American continent always loved women and the women played a major role in everything. then those disgusting people from the other side arrived and destroyed all that while bringing those horrific diseases.
Now men do lol
Then yes....now its men's fault lol😅
And now, some of those are getting stronger...
