It sounds like a good starting premise for an "impure" movie to me; but I'm probably a bad person  :hmm:

I think you should write a screenplay.

I don't know why but it made me think of a Twitter thread I recently saw about a 12th century Middle Irish story Middle Irish story about lesbians accidentally having a baby.

A woman goes up to the king and asks him to determine the baby's father because she's not had sex with a man in a long time. The king asks if she's had "playful mating" with another woman - which she says she has. So the king basically says well she must have had sex with her husband beforehand and the semen fell into your womb during your "tumbling".

At this point - for reasons I don't fully understand - a priest falls out of the sky and announces that he made a deal with a demon (a dreadful deal - basically the priest gets some nice woodwork furniture out of it - "I had built a house, and there was no craftsman in the world that I thought good enough to make the woodwork. And a demon came to me in the shape of a man, and he made the woodwork in the house, and he would take no payment except that I should bow down to him."). Because of the deal, demons have been carrying him while flying about for the last 7 years but they then overheard the king who was speaking truth so the demons scattered, freeing the priest.

There are then various different versions of this story in other records: 15th century manuscript, an epilogue to a 16th century bardic poem (written by the Chief Justice of the Common Pleas:lol), another 16th century version. It's really interesting because the bit that they get prudish about isn't these lesbian parents running around but the mention of "semen" which gets cut out in later versions.

In one of the 16th century versions they explicitly say the inability of her husband to satisfy her is why the second woman starts "tumbling" with the other woman :lol:

I like the part in the History of the Franks by Gregory of Tours where he casually mentions a male cross-dresser.

Just saw Guy Lafleur was trending on Twitter.  I thought "oh fuck, not another one".

But no - they're just making a movie about him.

Good to know that the medieval Irish were relaxed about "tumbling"  :cool:

Nowadays priests can go to IKEA instead of swearing fealty to demons.

I suppose that the danger of the semen is that a child could be fathered by the wrong person and property/titles could therefore also end up in the wrong hands?

So that's why it's called tumbler :shock:

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

They should put it on Yom Kippur. Then you can binge a half dozen cheeseburgers and spend the rest of the day atoning.

Heh I wonder if that attitude could have been influenced by the odd lacunae in Leviticus - male homosexuality is expressly labelled an abomination and prohibited, but there is no mention, thus no prohibition, against female homosexuality.
