AB Due to its fragmentary nature The Canterbury Tales are in many ways an editorial construction that started in the 15th century and still continues; besides some of the tales haveprovided the basic material for our contemporary view of medieval sexuality. In spite of itspresent day prominence in the critical reception of the text, sexuality in the tales seems tolose relevance at a closer look, as its presence seems to be congenial on the consecution ofsocial satire. This paper argues that sex walks hand in hand with laughter as a means toachieve this didactic purpose; and it explores how sex and love help to establish a series ofthematic lines around the joys and woes of marriage life. This motif allows a dialogic relationship between traditional views of genre and social relations and less conventional attitudes that seem to promote mutuality between the spouses.
