How different things are today. To go back in time you would not recognise men as having any morals at all or many women for that matter
In war or on conquering marches it was well known that men would take whatever wench presented themselves to the them. But they never allowed another womans mouth to touch theirs, their lips were for their beloved; women were known to die attempting to kiss the one they were with and this was a an all encompassing law which every army knew. You did not kiss a woman unless you loved or was growing affection for her and if your man returned but did not kiss you on the mouth then it was respect they were paying you & also the message that they had found another brought back with them under such circumstances. But all women who were behind while their men went off knew the men would be free with their seed
The act of coupling was seen merely as a physical release and not seen as a betrayal until the christian church demanded that unlike savages men and women were to keep only to one. It was in turn however a good thing because it reduced many diseases that had the most painful treatments, such as the use of leech or fleas or maggots introduced to canker sores or to the sores of other diseases (it was thought that the physicians who were trained by the physicians of the Kings of the East were inducing punishment with the treatment), medicine was quite different then
But as told most things was different then & bares no resemblance to todays world and todays way of life. However today as back then it was the emotion carrying most importance because it was attached to the heart and it was rare done that the heart was betrayed. There were then too however those who used their beauty and charm over women and left a trail of broken hearts behind them and these be man or woman they were just people who did not care. Please think with care about what this one wishes from you, or if it is just to convince himeself that he is stil beautious enough to win your heart once again; there must be reason he did not make it to now with you, or he would have been your betrothed and not the one you are wed to
