Two lovers in the Middle Ages. The "first time" was usually a moment of embarrassment for the woman
How she was preparing for her first meeting of love a medieval woman?
Trying to appear as beautiful and “palatable” as possible, first of all.
For this reason, the ladies, before joining carnally for the first time with her husband (relationships outside of marriage were considered improper and harshly condemned), dressed up as best they could.
Usually the lady went to a public bathroom to wash and perfume her body with oils and essences, after which she switched to the hairstyle, which at the time she had to preferably leave her forehead uncovered.
After the night of love, which in the vast majority of cases was resolved in an awkward and embarrassing way, the following day the groom presented himself in front of his wife with the " gift of the morning" Of her, a decorated casket, to reward her for her virginity just lost.
