«Historia medieval del sexo y del erotismo» is the historical essay by Ana Martos, published by Ediciones Nowtilus in its Historia incógnita collection (398 pages, in Spanish).
The work explores medieval beliefs and disputes about female sexuality, from the controversy over female sperm to the myths and superstitions that have survived to the present day. Physicians, philosophers and religious figures debated conception, desire and lust, and from those debates arose lawsuits and treatises such as Avicenna's Canon and De Coitu. It also addresses courtly love and erotic melancholy, treated at the time as an illness.
The book belongs to the Historia incógnita collection. The edition includes bibliographical references and was originally published in 2008.
For readers interested in medieval history, sexuality and eroticism, and seeking an accessible approach with historical rigour.
