Many European countries would like to have a word with you lmao.What the fuck just i read, a country who has such culture should be doomed instead
Japan also has similar things, though the witnesses were in adjacent rooms instead.Many European countries would like to have a word with you lmao.
The bedding ceremony is one of those things that truly makes you realize how weird and wild history can be.
Yeahhh it's really shocking for me, this kind of thing was really happening in the past, no wonder the concept of morality hadn't been well known.Many European countries would like to have a word with you lmao.

I think you'll find that the practice was based on the highest of morality of the time, and of extreme social and symbolic value.Yeahhh it's really shocking for me, this kind of thing was really happening in the past, no wonder the concept of morality hadn't been well known.
Yet the concept of hypocrisy was very advanced.Yeahhh it's really shocking for me, this kind of thing was really happening in the past, no wonder the concept of morality hadn't been well known.
It happens when you lack perspective, like most people.Yeahhh it's really shocking for me, this kind of thing was really happening in the past, no wonder the concept of morality hadn't been well known.
The problem isn't about morality but rather to confirm that the bloodline continues.Yeahhh it's really shocking for me, this kind of thing was really happening in the past, no wonder the concept of morality hadn't been well known.
Atleast it's a small scale with only 8 people.wtf. In front of everyone? The anxiety and frustration. That’s terrible.
Blessing? I doubt that.Atleast it's a small scale with only 8 people.
I have seen documentaries showcase such thing occuring in infront of tens or hundreds of people in some theatre or auditorium, as a showcase for everyone to see and apparently bless the couple.
Some cultures you hung the blood stained sheets out the window for all to see the next dayThe problem isn't about morality but rather to confirm that the bloodline continues.
I say it's not about morality because these type of customs were actually introduced to fight immoral activity in the first place, primarily affairs and claiming someone else child as their husbands. Because Women cheating on their husband and carrying the child of someone else was pretty common back then.
I mean, in olden days there weren't any DNA test to confirm whether the child born was of the Royal Couple or not. Plus, it has been noted that a lot of the Royals especially Men were actually Gay or despised Women to such extent they considered having Sex with Women as something gross and nausea inducing. So in a way, this was also used as a way to force those Men to copulate and continue the bloodline, or else they would just fake claim that they had done it. Plus it also showcased that the Woman was a virgin to a certain extent (i remember a documentary/show where they showcased how Non-Virgin Women used to use unmatured pigeon eggs which they inserted inside their vagina and faked being virgin, because when the insertion occur the pigeon eggs inside would break which has blood inside it as it's unmatured egg, thus faking hymen breaking).
Yeah there are better ways to do a bedding ceremony like only having Women in the room (i remember reading that in some cultures it was the job of either the Mother or Mother-in-law to oversee the Bedding Ceremony and also to act as a Sex Ed supervisor for the first night of a couple), but the primary purpose was to be sure that the Royal Couple had copulated and increase the authenticity of the child being born as their blood.
This is also why the concept of Honeymoon was born, as primarily it was meant as a check on Women so that they don't cheat and claim the child of someone else as the child of their husband (Honeymoon was basically a concept of Couples having sex for a while month while the Women is basically locked away and denied interaction with any person especially Men).
Well, you may call centuries old customs as "nasty" now.Just nasty.
It was just different. If they saw people now they will think society is fucked up and morals has gone away. Everyone just treats sex as some casual happy feel good time in recent times.Yeahhh it's really shocking for me, this kind of thing was really happening in the past, no wonder the concept of morality hadn't been well known.
