Love-Making And Marriage During The Viking Era (2022x71)

:

When we think about the Vikings, love, and marriage are usually not the first things that come to mind. However, we might occasionally think about the Vikings and sex when watching one of the many shows and movies about the Vikings in recent years. From TV and movies, you'd almost believe that all Vikings were attractive, always washed, and odor-free. However, it does seem that the Vikings did take relatively good care of their hair. Combs are one of the most common items found in Viking graves and other archaeological sites – but it's hard to believe that these Scandinavian warriors (perhaps of both sexes) weren't more often "combing things out" than they were getting ready for a party.
