Celestina Day 3 Act 7-11

1) Areusa complains about a pain that she can't seem to get over that started when her lover left, shes complaining because of lack of sex. This isn't really to surprising seeing as she's saying it to the notorious pimp Celestina, but the surprising thing is the old ladies response. The old woman touches Areusa to see if she knows what the ailment is, in a way that the sickness would have to be "...higher up, over the stomach". Celestina seems to be willing to do anything involved in the sexual arts, with no shame and no hesitation.
2) Sex is being spoken of as if it where as normal as eating breakfast, not just sex but sleeping around with multiple people. Areusa and Elicia talk about Melibea as a fat and inexperienced young player, they almost sound jealous but it is my belief that there's something more in their dialogue. When the men in their life start to talk about Melibea as if they themselves where in love with her, Areusa and Elicia have no problem with sleeping around until the possibility arises that their lovers are doing such a thing.
