Här står lite, man kan räkna med att det som förbjöds i bibeln var för att det var jävligt vanligt

"Medieval people loved sex. You can usually get a reasonable idea of the kinds of things people were up to from contemporary sources like penitentials. These are a feature of religious literature from around the 7th Century onwards and reflect the increasing tendency towards the codification of sin and penance. These texts are often misinterpreted as "The Church banning X" but, rather, reflect the Church's general disapproval of something. The Church doesn't reaaaaally have the legal authority to make these things actually illegal; penitentials are more like the Church acknowledging that people are going to sin and providing the requisite steps necessary for them to (voluntarily) do penance and thus safeguard their mortal soul.
As you might expect, Early Medieval English penitentials have a lot to say about sex. Principally, the Church's concern seems to have been that people were too busy enjoying the recreational side of sex to necessarily bother with the reproductive: X02.04.01 of Cotton Junius 121 (the 'Scrifboc') states, for example:
Whoever releases seed into the mouth is to fast 7 winters
Other penances deal with having period sex, adultery, sexual exploration between youths, gay sex, lesbian sex, male and female masturbation, sex in Church, sex on Sundays, sex during religious festivals, sex during Lent, doggy style and anal sex:..
X15.02.01 If a man has intercourse with his wife from the rear he is to fast 40 nights. X15.02.02 If he has anal intercourse with her, he is to fast 10 winters
Of course, confession of these sorts of sins would be entirely up to the individual in question, but the implication we can draw is that people were very willing to put the fuck upon each other.
One assertion I'd particularly like to challenge is the idea that people were going around with terrible hygiene. Medieval people might not quite have matched up to the rather germaphobic standards we currently hold ourselves to in some parts of the world with more ready access to running hot water, but they weren't dirty. Not everybody might have had access to Roman-style bath houses, but that certainly didn't mean that they didn't wash. Indeed, contemporary Norman sources to the Battle of Hastings suggest that the English were obsessed with looking and smelling nice, spending plenty of time washing, combing, oiling and perfuming their long beards. Personal grooming items such as combs are fairly regular archaeological finds and grave goods from Medieval contexts. People would have washed regularly, either in a nearby lake or river, or simply from a bucket of water at home.
That said, those with regular access to bath houses were more likely to have sex: the district of medieval Southwark known as 'The Stews' was ostensibly packed with bath houses - and indeed some actually were, at least according to the protestations of their owners - but the area was well known as home to a large number of brothels lurking behind the bath house façade."
