In fact women would make loud noises during sex to attract other men to her (seeing that she was enjoying it). I guess incest didn't matter back then.
It's interesting to me that today's society it is totally opposite. Women are not supposed to enjoy sex or attract many men. I know it's more open in the western world but women are still stigmatized as sluts or someone's 'old shoes' (a common chinese expresion).
I wonder how, where, when and what caused to shift from one extreme to another.

Keep in mind though that back in those days, there was a lopsided demographic between males and females. Men often died earlier as a result warring and hunting (which was very dangerous in tribal societies). Communities tended to have way more women than men and in order to keep them all reproducing and the community growing, men would be expected to impregnate many females (something else that is frowned upon in modern western society). It's not just females that are being restricted sexually against their biological evolution due to societal changes.
