Medieval women would cheat on "virginity tests".
The "pure, virtuous" medieval woman was expected to be a virgin on her wedding night.
However, women (handily) had access to under-the-radar guides on how to fake virginity. One book states: "the day before her marriage, let her put a leech cautiously on her labia; then blood will flow out here, and a little crust will form in that place...in having intercourse the false virgin will (bleed and) deceive the man."
