00:02The silence of the Nordic sea was merely a disguise; beneath the mist that shrouded the icy waters, something far more lay.
00:09crueler than the war that was brewing.
00:12When we think of the Vikings, the image that comes to mind is one of looting, fire consuming villages, and steel tearing through flesh.
00:20But what if I told you that this is just the surface? That the real weapon of these people wasn't in...
00:26The axe is not in the shield, but in the body.
00:29Not in their own bodies, but in the bodies of others. Because for the Vikings, sex was never just sex.
00:37It was power, it was humiliation, it was a boundary between honor and ruin.
00:43Every touch, every act, could elevate a man to the highest position or throw him into the mire of eternal contempt.
00:51And none of this was accidental. It was calculated, planned, ritualized.
00:57They had a word. A word so full of poison that it could kill before the blade.
01:04Raise. A simple sound, but capable of destroying reputations.
01:09To be called that meant something terrible.
01:13You had let yourself be dominated.
01:15He had become passive in a sexual act.
01:18It didn't matter if there was consent.
01:21It didn't matter if it was with a man or a woman.
01:24Paper was important.
01:26And for the Vikings, being passive meant abandoning their warrior essence.
01:31It was about moving socially.
01:33Now imagine this logic transformed into a weapon of war.
01:37Imagine an enemy boss, captured alive.
01:41He's not dead. Not yet.
01:43He is forced to experience the greatest dishonor conceivable.
01:47Violated in front of his men, in front of his children.
01:51To us, this sounds like a monstrosity.
01:54And it was.
01:55But for them, it was strategy.
01:58Winning wasn't enough.
01:59It was necessary to crush the opponent's soul.
02:02To make him less than a man.
02:04Erase him from memory as a leader.
02:06And there is no more devastating dishonor for a culture obsessed with power.
02:12rather than tearing away the last vestige of masculinity in front of everyone.
02:16There are subtle, almost whispered accounts of such practices.
02:21No Christian chronicler would dare to describe them in detail.
02:25But the silence of the sources is eloquent.
02:27Because where there is fear, there is history.
02:30And everything indicates that yes, this terror was real.
02:33For the Vikings, the male body was contested territory.
02:38A war within a war.
02:40And this is just the beginning.
02:42Because the Viking sex trade went far beyond the battlefield.
02:46They were one of the largest suppliers of slaves in Europe.
02:50Men, women, children.
02:52No one was safe.
02:54And among the most valuable goods, there was a specific type.
02:59Eunuchs.
03:01Castrated men, destined for the harems and courts of the Middle East and Byzantium.
03:06But castration was not a random punishment.
03:10It was a business deal.
03:11It was profitable.
03:13Literate monks, for example, were ideal targets.
03:16They were not suitable for farming, but they could become expensive eunuchs for the Arabs.
03:22So, they were mutilated and sold for a fortune.
03:26Think about what this means.
03:28The body reduced to an investment.
03:31Masculinity ripped away with a blade.
03:35Identity converted into a commodity.
03:38Meanwhile, on the other side of this society, a brutal contradiction exists.
03:44Free women.
03:45Unlike the rest of medieval Europe, where they lived imprisoned in invisible chains,
03:51Viking women possessed power that was unthinkable for their time.
03:55They could get divorced if they were unhappy in bed.
03:59Yes, that's right.
04:01All they had to do was claim a lack of pleasure.
04:03And the marriage ended.
04:05No scandal, no shame.
04:07A man who couldn't satisfy his wife could lose everything.
04:12This freedom, however, was a privilege for the few.
04:15For enslaved women, there was no choice.
04:18Their bodies were property.
04:20If they were violated, the offense was not against them, but against the owner.
04:25And the repairs?
04:27A fine.
04:28That's all.
04:29The enslaved female body had no human value.
04:33Only economic value.
04:35They were raped, traded, used in rituals.
04:39And one of these rituals is so cruel, so macabre, that even today it sends shivers down the spine of anyone who reads the descriptions.
04:45The Viking funeral, recorded by Ahmad ibn Fadlan in the 10th century.
04:51A boss dies.
04:52The body is placed on a ship, surrounded by luxury items.
04:57But that's not enough.
04:59He cannot leave alone.
05:01You need to bring a woman.
05:03Then they ask among the slave girls.
05:05Who's volunteering?
05:06One accepted.
05:08She is taken to a banquet.
05:10Drink until you lose all sense of reality.
05:12She is dressed in silk.
05:14Adorned with jewels.
05:16For a few days, she lives like a queen.
05:19But it's just an illusion.
05:21Because on the last day, she will be violated by several men, one by one, in ritual silence.
05:28Each act, marked with a phrase.
05:31Tell your master that I did this out of love for him.
05:34Then, on the ship, she will be killed.
05:38Strangled, stabbed, and finally burned alongside the body of the man who owned her.
05:43Sex, death, power.
05:46Everything is mixed together in a ceremony that looks like it came straight from hell.
05:50For the Vikings, this was not considered perversion.
05:53It was tradition.
05:55It was an honor.
05:56And if you think that's the height of madness, wait until you hear about the fertility rituals.
06:02Because there were families who kept the phallus of a dead horse at home.
06:07Yes, a horse's penis.
06:09Treated as a sacred object.
06:11It was passed from hand to hand every night, while each member said a prayer for fertility and prosperity.
06:18To us, this is grotesque.
06:21For them, it was magic.
06:22It was a connection with the forces of life.
06:25This was the Viking world.
06:27A world where the body was more than just flesh.
06:30It was a symbol, a currency, a weapon.
06:33Where sex could be affection.
06:35But it could also be a sentence.
06:37Where death was celebrated with rape and male honor was so fragile that it could be destroyed with a
06:45gesture.
06:45And we haven't reached the bottom of this abyss yet.
06:50The flames of the funeral pyre still burned in memory when the biting wind brought another kind of silence.
06:58A thick, heavy silence, like the air that precedes a storm.
07:03Because among the Vikings, not even intimacy was a safe territory.
07:08Pleasure, which for us is synonymous with freedom, was for them an arena of power.
07:13Every gesture, every act, carried the weight of honor or dishonor.
07:20It was a world of extremes.
07:22On one side, merciless brutality against enemies and slaves.
07:26On the other hand, a surprisingly liberal code for its own people.
07:31A man could have more than one wife, provided he could support them.
07:36Extramarital affairs were not a cause for scandal, as long as they did not threaten marriage alliances.
07:41And among the wealthy, concubines were part of the social game.
07:46There was no religious guilt because Christian morality had not yet colonized those lands.
07:52The body was open territory, but with its own rules, rigid and sharp as the blade of a sword.
08:00These rules, however, had an implacable logic.
08:03To maintain masculine honor intact.
08:06Everything revolved around that.
08:08Manliness was such a fragile pillar that it could crumble with a single act.
08:13Imagine that.
08:14A man could sleep with another man and still be considered honorable.
08:20as long as he was the dominant one, as long as he penetrated, as long as he didn't give in.
08:25Because what defined a man was not desire, but position.
08:30Being active meant having power.
08:32To be passive was to die while still alive.
08:35Becoming Urgent.
08:36And this condition was so repulsive that if anyone dared to accuse another of being Urg,
08:42The accused could have killed him on the spot.
08:45And no one would punish him.
08:46It was the law.
08:47This terror shaped everything.
08:49Even the language.
08:51Even the insults.
08:52Among the most devastating insults were those that insinuated sexual submission.
08:58And don't think it was just talk.
09:01In war, they transformed sexual humiliation into a gesture, into a symbol.
09:06A blow to the enemy's buttocks, called Nid, was not merely physical violence.
09:12It was a clear message.
09:13I own you.
09:15It was an attack on the soul, not just the body.
09:19Because for the Vikings, being reduced to an object was worse than death.
09:23But not all of these people's sexual practices involved violence.
09:28Some, for us, are simply disturbing because of their strangeness.
09:32Imagine a Viking house, warmed by a low fire.
09:36In the center, an object wrapped in cloths and herbs.
09:40The penis of a dead horse.
09:42Yes, an equine penis, preserved as a sacred relic.
09:47Every night, this symbol was passed from hand to hand.
09:51Each person held it and said a prayer for fertility, for prosperity, for a good harvest.
09:58To us, this is grotesque.
10:00For them, it was devotion.
10:02It was magic.
10:03It was the very essence of life concentrated in that object.
10:07For the Vikings, sexuality was not separate from faith.
10:11It was deeply ingrained in rituals, chants, and offerings.
10:15And not just in private ceremonies.
10:18On certain occasions, entire villages celebrated pagan festivals where wine, music, and physical intimacy mingled in a spiral.
10:27of ecstasy.
10:28There, under the flickering light of the torches, alliances were sealed not only with words, but with bodies.
10:35It was a carnal communion, a dance that blurred the lines between the sacred and the profane.
10:41This explosive mix of power, desire, and spirituality also seeped into poetry.
10:48There was a genre called mansong, songs of love and seduction so intense that they were believed to have magical power.
10:56Erotic verses brimming with desire, capable of igniting uncontrollable passions.
11:01And this power was taken seriously.
11:04So seriously, in fact, that these songs were banned in Iceland.
11:08The authorities feared that the words were spells, that they could bewitch hearts against their will.
11:16Think about it.
11:17A poem was treated like a weapon, as dangerous as a sword.
11:21But there was a price to pay for playing with fire.
11:24A man caught composing or singing masquerade songs to another man's wife could pay with his life.
11:30Because among the Vikings, desire was permitted, but honor was inviolable.
11:36Honor, as always, hovered over every gesture, every look, every word.
11:42It was the invisible line that separated life from death, glory from disgrace.
11:47And while all this was happening in the villages, at the banquets, in the rituals, far away, in foreign lands,
11:55Another market flourished: the trade in bodies.
11:58Because the Vikings were not just warriors, they were ruthless merchants.
12:03They turned slavery into a business, they turned people into commodities.
12:09And within that system, sexuality was common currency.
12:13Enslaved women were raped without it even being considered a crime.
12:19The offense was not against the woman, but against her owner.
12:23The rapist wasn't going to prison.
12:25I only had to pay a fine.
12:27Nothing more.
12:29And among the enslaved men, there was an even crueler fate.
12:33Castration.
12:35Eunuchs were luxury goods in the Arab and Byzantine worlds.
12:38They were worth a fortune.
12:40And the Vikings knew this.
12:41So, they castrated their prisoners.
12:45Monks, in particular, were easy targets.
12:48Educated men, useless for manual labor,
12:51but perfect for becoming harem guardians, advisors, servants.
12:56The blade that was cutting was not driven by hatred, it was driven by economic calculation.
13:01And this, perhaps, is the darkest aspect of all.
13:06The coldness with which they reduced human life to mere numbers.
13:09Meat, the investment.
13:11Sex, the tool of power.
13:14But even that logic doesn't explain everything.
13:16Because there were times when brutality surpassed all rationality.
13:21As in the funeral ritual recorded by Iban Fadlan.
13:25A spectacle of death and desire, of wine and blood, of songs and stifled screams.
13:31Ten days of preparation.
13:33Ten days of banquets and orgies disguised as a tribute.
13:37Finally, on the last day, the slave chosen to accompany the deceased master is taken to the ship.
13:43It's already broken.
13:45Don't cry, don't scream.
13:47Drink again.
13:49She feels the men's hands on her skin, one by one.
13:53Each one leaving upon it the mark of possession and farewell.
13:56Then, silence.
13:59A wire tightening around the neck.
14:01The blade piercing the flesh.
14:03And finally, the fire.
14:05A fire that consumes bodies, that turns pain into smoke.
14:09Which delivers to heaven a spectacle of horror disguised as glory.
14:14That was the Viking logic.
14:16A logic where sex and death danced together.
14:20Where pleasure and pain were intertwined.
14:23Where the line between honor and violence was so thin that it could be crossed with
14:28A gesture, a word, a look.
14:33What motivated all of this?
14:35It wasn't just wishful thinking.
14:37It was something deeper.
14:39It was an obsession with power.
14:41Because for the Vikings, sex was not a private act.
14:45It was a social instrument.
14:47It was a hierarchy.
14:48It was a matter of reputation.
14:49It was a war fought without swords.
14:52Each encounter was a silent struggle for dominance.
14:56Each position, a statement of strength.
14:59Masculinity was a fortress that needed to be defended at all costs.
15:04And a single gesture could bring her down.
15:07The worst insult anyone could receive was not being called a coward.
15:12It was about being insinuated as submissive in bed.
15:15That wound corroded the soul more than any blade.
15:19Because the idea that a man could be used and not use himself was intolerable.
15:24It was the annihilation of its essence.
15:27This fixation shaped everything.
15:29Insults, jokes, songs, laws.
15:32She even transformed mythology.
15:36See Loki, the god of trickery, ambiguity, and breaking rules.
15:41Loki knew no limits.
15:43It could change shape, gender, and species.
15:46In one story, he transforms into a mare.
15:49And, seduced by a stallion, she gives birth to Sleipnir, the eight-legged horse.
15:54To us, this is grotesque.
15:56For them, it was a myth.
15:58A myth that revealed something essential.
16:01Sexuality was not static.
16:03It was brute force.
16:05Pure chaos.
16:06It was a power that not even the gods fully controlled.
16:11And then there was Freya, the goddess of fertility, mistress of magic and lust.
16:16They said she possessed an enchanted necklace, Brisingamen.
16:20which he achieved by surrendering his body to four dwarfs.
16:23That story, repeated in whispers, was nothing to be ashamed of.
16:27It was exaltation.
16:29Because, for the Vikings, the body was not a temple of purity.
16:32It was a weapon.
16:33It was currency.
16:34It was a sacrifice.
16:36Freya did not fall out of desire.
16:38She negotiated.
16:39He bargained.
16:40He won.
16:41His pleasure was power.
16:43And his power was divine.
16:45This logic even contaminated wedding rituals.
16:48Marriage was not a fragility.
16:51It was a contract.
16:52Business between families.
16:54But there was something that would shock us even more.
16:57Women's freedom.
16:59A Viking woman could get a divorce.
17:01All it took was a declaration in front of witnesses.
17:04We are now separated.
17:06And that's it.
17:07No priest, no judge.
17:09Just the word.
17:10Reasons?
17:11Many.
17:12But there was one that reveals just how central sex was.
17:16Sexual dissatisfaction.
17:17If her husband didn't satisfy her, she could leave him.
17:21Simple as that.
17:23Think of the scandal this would cause in Christian Europe, where women were considered property and female pleasure was considered sinful.
17:30Among the Vikings, the body spoke louder than anything else.
17:32But there were also testing practices.
17:35In some weddings, before the union was official, the bride could try out the groom.
17:41And if he didn't please her, the contract was annulled.
17:44No blind submission.
17:46Don't accept fate as a burden.
17:48This did not make them free in the modern sense, but it gave them a rare power for the time.
17:53A power that horrified Christian chroniclers, who described the Norse as
17:58Savages who know no shame.
18:01And perhaps they really didn't know.
18:03At least not the shame they taught us.
18:06Because for them, what mattered wasn't purity.
18:09It was an honor.
18:10And honor was not in the body.
18:12I was in the force.
18:13In control.
18:15In the ability to impose.
18:16This mentality transformed the bed into a symbolic battlefield, where every act was a
18:22manifesto, where even pleasure was subjected to a brutal logic.
18:28But this logic had fissures, small cracks through which something deeper escaped, something
18:34Almost poetic.
18:36On cold nights, amidst goblets of mead and lamplight, poets sang verses laden with emotion.
18:43of desire.
18:43Verses that spoke of sweaty bodies, of intertwined hair, of kisses stolen in the shade.
18:50of the willows.
18:52Forbidden words that could cost a life.
18:55Because even in that world where sex seemed so free, absolute freedom was an illusion.
19:02There was always a line that couldn't be crossed.
19:04There was always an invisible limit, watched over by attentive eyes, ready to punish anyone who dared to cross it.
19:11to challenge him.
19:12And that's what makes this culture so disturbing to us.
19:16Not violence, because violence is something we can understand.
19:19Not promiscuity, because we've already seen that among other peoples.
19:23What truly disturbs us is the contradiction, the mixture of brutality and poetry, of cruelty.
19:30and tenderness, of libertinism and censorship.
19:34It's about realizing that for the Vikings, sex wasn't just about pleasure.
19:38It was destiny.
19:39It was an honor.
19:40It was religion.
19:41It was political.
19:42It was war.
19:43Imagine the embers of a bonfire illuminating painted faces, intertwined bodies, chants.
19:50that echo in the night.
19:51Imagine the biting cold seeping in through the cracks, mingling with the warmth of the meat, the aroma of mead,
19:58to the smell of burnt wood.
20:00And at the center of it all, an idea.
20:03The body is power.
20:05A power so great that not even death can nullify it.
20:08Because when the flames consume the warrior's body, his secrets go with him.
20:14His lovers, his sins, and perhaps, who knows, his last erection frozen in time.
20:22But all of this came at a price.
20:25A price that still resonates today.
20:28Because with the advance of Christianity, this world fell silent.
20:32The bonfires died down, the chants ceased, the free bodies were covered.
20:38Through veils of guilt.
20:40The church arrived with its cross, its laws, its penances, and said
20:45Sex is a sin.
20:47Pleasure is shame.
20:49The flesh is the enemy of the soul.
20:51And what for the Vikings was strength, power, honor, became something dirty.
20:58Something to be hidden.
20:59Confessed in whispers behind curtains.
21:02Spyed upon with prayers and tears.
21:04The monks wrote chronicles calling them beasts, barbarians, immoral men.
21:10But were they really barbarians?
21:13Or were we the barbarians, who burned their memory, who tore apart their myths, who buried them?
21:19His audacity in the face of centuries of repression?
21:21Today, when we look back, when we talk about the Vikings, we prefer to imagine only the blade.
21:28the axe, the blood, because it's easier to deal with physical violence than with
21:33the symbolic violence that their sexuality represents to us.
21:37It's easier to tell stories of battles than to face the truth.
21:42They lived in a way that still frightens us, because it challenges us.
21:46They weren't afraid of the body.
21:49They were not afraid of pleasure.
21:51They weren't afraid to switch roles.
21:53to play with limits, to laugh at the rules that govern us to this day.
21:58And that is unbearable for a society that has built its foundation on guilt, on
22:04control, over the repression of desire.
22:07Ask yourself, how many of our laws, our customs, our beliefs still carry
22:14Is this Christian shadow what killed the Viking world?
22:17How many of us still live with body shame, fear of pleasure, and repressed desires?
22:23A printed image that explodes silently?
22:25Are we really so different from them?
22:28Or is it that, deep down, we still carry a bit of that forbidden flame?
22:32The same flame that burned in the torch-lit halls, amidst laughter, groans, and gulps of mead.
22:39The same flame that said, the body is power.
22:42And whoever controls the body, controls the world.
22:46And perhaps that's why, even after a thousand years, we still talk about them, still.
22:52We dream of them, we still fear them, because, deep down, the Vikings are not dead.
22:58They are here, inside us, waiting for the right moment to awaken.
23:03Now I ask you, if tomorrow you woke up in a Viking hall, among tattooed warriors,
23:10Free women and rules that would make even the most daring libertine blush, which one would you be?
23:17The dominator?
23:18Or the dominated one?
