The Victorians were no more moral than any other age - just more hypocritical. There were regular scandals - Prince of Wales was named in a divorce suit, child prostitution was rife, but a nice veneer kept over it. In reality, I am sure that people had sex just as they do now - some within wedlock, some before marriage, some with people other than their spouses, illegitimate children were born. Without sex, we would have died out after the Victorians. nell |
