In the earliest stages of tribal development the mores and restrictive taboos were very crude, but they did keep the sexes apart—this favored quiet, order, and industry—and the long evolution of marriage and the home had begun.

But it was long the practice to suspend all sex regulations on high festival days, especially May Day.
