Human sexuality, as an expression of the social behaviour, was a question of great interest in a triple way (educational, controlling and repressive) for the ecclesiastic and civil authorities in Visigothic Spain. As a reflection of its time, <i>Etymologiae</i> by Saint Isidore of Seville gives evidence of the official christian sexual morality, which places a high value on chastity and follows faithfully the principles of ¿le patristic teaching, and shows its crystallization in a group of guidelines and advices for a healthy and correct use of sex which will penetrate deeply in the social mentality of Visigothic Spain.<br><br>La sexualidad, como una expresión más del comportamiento social, fue objeto de gran interés, en una triple vertiente adoctrinadora, controladora y represora, por parte de las autoridades eclesiásticas y civiles de la <i>Hispania</i> visigoda. Reflejo de su época, «Las Etimologías» de San Isidoro de Sevilla dan testimonio de la moral sexual cristiana oficial, que prima el valor de la castidad y se ajusta fielmente a los valores de la doctrina patrística cristiana, y muestra su cristalización en un conjunto de directrices y consejos para un «sano y correcto» uso de la sexualidad que calarán hondamente en la mentalidad social hispanovisigoda.Date
