Puritan And Sex Essay, Research Paper

Thesis Statement

They may commit adultery, fornication, or rape in order to gratify their desires. One reason for the abundance of sexual offenses was the number of men in the colonies who were unable to accommodate their sexual desire in marriage. As a result, Puritans issued fines and punishment for unsuccessful marriage and sexual abuse.

On the contrary, servants will confront every challenge to meet their needs, even though God had forbidden sexual intercourse outside of marriage.
