Abstract
The presentation will give a glimpse on how a modern idea of “sex” (in a sense of intercourse) and “normal sexual behaviour” (heterosexuality) constituted the body of ethnographic knowledge on premarital sleeping together and defined the unambiguous “sexual” interpretation of this widespread rural custom.
