I'm having a debate about whether or not people from the 16th century (technically early modern era, not middle ages) participated in oral sex.
I was proven wrong because there is obvious evidence from the Kamasutra that people were doing a lot more than just oral. But my thought process was that the common man/woman likely had very poor hygiene thus making the act itself unbearable. Can't find anything online about what kind of sex the 16th century common man took part in.
So, how bad was their hygiene? And did they participate in fellatio?
