Puritans in 1600, no. Puritan America in the 2000's, sex is a very taboo subject, especially when it comes to women.


This was clearly, obviously, blatantly not in response to anyones hangups about sex in general. Not wanting to be associated with creepy, rapey stuff written by and for creepy, rapey people is hardly Puritanical, it's more like being a human being.


But judging this content as creepy and rapey is quite puritanical.

All this screams about rape for something that sums up to "you're about to have sex? Don't ask her to grab your dick, guide her hand to it".


No, it is not.


Perhaps you meant to reply to the parent or grandparent? I'm merely pointing out that "Puritan America" does not mean "1600's Puritans That Just Happen To Be Living In What Will Become America". I could not get the site to load to read the book, so I cannot make judgement on the content.
