Anon he preyde hire strepen hire al naked;
He wolde of hire, he seyde, han som plesaunce;
He seyde hir clothes dide hym encombraunce,
And she obeyeth, be hire lief or looth.
– Geoffrey Chaucer
The Canterbury Tales, The Merchant’s Tale. January wakes up in bed and instructs May to strip for sex on demand. She obeys, whether she wants to or not, we are told – suggesting that she is not turned on her husband’s love-making.
