Today's medieval wisdom
Today's piece of advice comes from the Trotula, an eleventh or twelfth-century text on obstetrics and gynecology. According to Trotula, underage sex causes bad breath.

That is all.

	Is it the cause for bad breath that lasts into adulthood (i.e. if you first have sex while underage, you're cursed with bad breath for the rest of your life), or just bad breath while you happen to be underage? Interesting to see the different moralized links that were made during the Middle Ages. Weirdos. ;) (Reply to this)
