A History of Courting

Description

Down deep in hell there let them dwell
and bundle on that bed,
Then turn and toll without control
Till all their lusts are fed.

That was how they did it in America in the 18th century. Bundling it was called. Not as naughty as it sounds.

In Moscow in 1952 they courted quite differently. It went like this: The boy is a collective farmer, and the girl a tractor driver working on the same night-shift. Sighed the girl: ‘How wonderful is to work on such a beautiful night under the full moon and do one’s utmost to save petrol!’ Exclaimed the boy: ‘The night inspires me to over-fulfil my quota by a higher and still higher percentage.’ Later he admitted: ‘I fell in love with your working achievement from the very first moment.’

There’s no end to the differing methods employed in this enchanting game, practiced by nearly all of us at some time or other.
