Least popular pre-marital coital positions
As with married couples, standing among pre-marrieds was the least likely position for sexual
intercourse (four
per cent). Rear entry coitus was only slightly more likely (six per cent) among pre-married
couples, though
marrieds rated fifteen per cent. Marriage does not, apparently, affect the eagerness with which
sitting coitus is
embarked upon (eight per cent pre-marrieds, nine per cent marrieds). The figures, inevitably,
can be interpreted
in many ways. Do married couples enjoy sex more and so learn to give their coitus a
wide-ranging richness? Or
do they simply experiment to hold off marital boredom as long as possible? Possibly any
generalisation is unwise.
Sexiest weddings
The wedding ritual has been accompanied, from one society to another, by a wide range of
coital activities. In
various countries feudal lords were apparently entitled to deflower the young bride before
releasing her to her
husband. This "right of the first night" (jus primae noctis), known also in France as jus cunni
and in England as
marchette, appears to have been established on the historical evidence. Monks sometimes held
the right: thus the
monks of St. Thiodard enjoyed this right over the inhabitants of Mount Auriol. More
extraordinarily, in some
tradition, e.g. the Nasamonian custom, all the wedding guests are expected to copulate with
the bride. The kiss
given the bride by men present at an English wedding is a poor relation of this old custom.
