The word is derived from the more general pudor, the sense of shame that regulated an individual&#039;s behavior as socially acceptable. Pudicitia was most often a defining characteristic of women, but men who failed to conform to masculine sexual norms were said to exhibit feminizing impudicitia, sexual shamelessness. The virtue was personified by the Roman goddess Pudicitia, whose Greek equivalent was Aidos.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;Livy states that the plebeian shrine of Pudicitia eventually fell into disuse after its sacred character had been abused.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pudicitia" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pudicitia" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pudicitia</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
