Análisis del placer y la sexualidad matrimonial en Alonso de la Veracruz: «De los actos de los cónyuges a causa del placer» (Speculum Coniugiorum, III, art. 16)

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to understand how Alonso de
la Veracruz conceive the relation between marriage, pleasure
and sexuality, and to show that his interpretation is based on
civil and canonic right from his time, on the Aquinas’ concept
of natural law, and on some European treaties about sexual
practices and marriages outside Christianity, according
to regulations derived from the Council of Trent.
