Shakespeare's Sex Life
Is there any actual sex in any of Shakespeare's plays? Like actual stage directions, like kissing and fumbling? Or is it all just implied and suggestive? Is there any physical contact between the characters? That is such a good question and I'm not quite sure how to answer it kind of a chapter and verse. We know that 18 year old Will is having sex with possibly mid 20s Anne in the summer of 1582. Yes, and they are not married. So I think that's probably it. The only thing I can say with certainty is that Shakespeare had sex with Anne Hathaway and they produced three children between them.
