On the element of historical accuracy, it IS correct that back then ages were lower for MALE AND FEMALE pairing, since life expectancy was also quite low, but this is all the more reason faggotry wasn't permitted, as it wastes mens time and energy, and also has awful health implications for men (anal sex especially in that time was NOT healthy, its not much better now, but then, even more so. Mixing shit in the blood stream is never good) which could ALSO spread to the wives , or at least the husbands health suffering from it would directly threaten their lively-hood without a man at full strength. It was VILIFIED for a reason, especially then.
So the age of sex was typically TIED with marriage, and very explicitly for the goal of family / procreation / dynasty building by and large, arranged marriages were HUGE then since love was secondary, it was "you better make fucking babies so we don't starve in 15 years dammit". And since faggotry has no function in that, it was vilified, since it ENTIRELY defeats the purpose of sex in that time, wastes the energy of men, and spreads awful diseases.
I really do fucking hate when idiots bring up this kinda shit, and prop it up as an excuse for molesting boys when the reasons even for the time aren't even fucking comparable, faggot Henry would of been beaten to death in the town square. the attitude then wasn't "finding love" it was "securing family" being the big reason people married at the time, and so because of that, homosexual "love" was truly inconceivable outside the ABSOLUTE fringes
