Bawdy Songs RIBALD, BAWDY OR GAMEY songs are a traditional form of humorous entertainment which ranges from bordering on indelicacy to vulgar they are mostly sexually related.
This form of sexual entertainment should not be confused with pornography or erotica, which play sexual intercourse or sexual fetishes "straight", ribaldry aims at humor. Sexual situations and titillation that poke fun at the foibles and weaknesses of human sexuality, are a common theme, rather than to present sexual stimulation either excitingly or artistically. Ribaldry may also use sex as a metaphor to illustrate some non-sexual matters, a form of satire. Ribaldry depends on commonly a shared background of sexual conventions and values, and makes comedy of seeing those conventions broken. This can be perceives as poking fun on the poor souls who suffer the consequences of breaking the taboos, or as flouting the taboos themselves. This depiction of taboo-breaking in ribaldry makes it controversial and sometimes leads to its censorship.
