Puritan Marriage Bed
"The use of the Marriage Bed is founded in mans Nature," it is to be used as all other early pleasures and never neglected, (Morgan, Edmund, THE PURITANS AND SEX.) At an early age Americans are taught that settlers from the past viewed intercourse as a an act only meant for married couples who wished to gain offspring, yet religious groups like the Puritans viewed it quite differently. The puritans are depicted as pure, unable to take on the dance of copulation because it was a sinful earthly temptation. This was not the case, Puritans loved sex.
It has been discovered through writings that Puritan ministers encouraged sexual intercourse and expelled those who neglected their bed duties for more than what was considered natural from the church.
