Medieval Christian ideals disapproved of the activities shown in that
picture. Sexual activities in a semi-public place were considered A Bad
Thing, to the best of my understanding. As to whether the picture itself
was "naughty"... first I'd want to know what you mean by the term.
Immoral? Titilating?

The only available *SCA* source. I couldn't get into the Library of
Congress catalog (suspect they're offline for the holiday), but a quick
search on amazon.com pulled up a bunch of decent candidates for inter-
library loan:
The Invention of Pornography : Obscenity and the Origins of Modernity,
1500-1800
Common Women : Prostitution and Sexuality in Medieval England
(Studies in the History of Sexuality)
Making Sex : Body and Gender from the Greeks to Freud
Constructing Medieval Sexuality
The witch on the wall : medieval erotic sculpture in the British Isles
Happy researching!
