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!
