I think that had to do with the idea that what females did, in general, was not terribly important to society.
Yes, I think it had something to do with the fact that the semen was considered the seed of life (hence the every drop of semen is precious and must not be spilled through masturbation), whilst the women was just thought of as an incubator for said seed.
Quote:The only time that female sexuality was judged inappropriate by society, was when the woman or girl, was promiscuous, with many male partners. I believe that the strictures were more to protect the males from consorting with a "loose" female, than any concern about the behavior of the woman herself.
I grew up in the era of the "double standard". For those too young to remember, a guy who had lots of (female) sexual partners was considered a stud, a "Romeo", which was a positive evaluation, while his female partners were considered tramps and sluts.
This reminds me of the time I watched a part of Terry Jones' (he was one of the Monty Python guys) documentary, "he Hidden History of Sex and Love". Most Church attempts to limit sexual attitudes focused squarely on the woman.
Interestingly, in the documentary, Mr. Jones stated that Kellog's Corn Flakes were initially designed to decrease the female libido. The idea was that a heartily nutritious meal would increase the female desire for sex, so corn flakes were designed to be less nutritious. Only problem was that the original product was so bland, nobody bought it!
(Information half-remembered from the documentary. It was such a long time ago).
