Divocha honour i rozpusni vechernitsi. Vesillya and the rite of "komori". All kinds of prohibitions and soromitskii songs. The picture of what were the intimate relations of the Ukrainians is twofold, if you look only at the folk folklore. What was it really like and how did we cohabit?

In her new book of ethnology Irina Ignatenko tells the history of intimate relations in Ukrainian traditions. What men and women did the Ukrainians consider beautiful and desirable, how did they get acquainted and what means of "mating" did they prefer? What did our great-great-grandparents wear, and how did the calendar of religious holidays influence the schedule of hygienic procedures and sex? What were the restrictions on intimate relations even in love? Why did they make the stars and how did they determine the future number of children by the broken pots?

From the first embraces to the first lover's night, pregnancy, hollowing, illnesses and post-love intercourse. The author describes the current attitude to her own body and physicality, peculiarities of spring rituals and contraception, shelters and barriers.
