Like any humour, ribaldry may be read as conventional or <a href="/wiki/Subversive" class="mw-redirect" title="Subversive">subversive</a>. Ribaldry typically depends on a shared background of sexual conventions and values, and its <a href="/wiki/Comedy" title="Comedy">comedy</a> generally depends on seeing those conventions broken. </p><p>The ritual <a href="/wiki/Taboo" title="Taboo">taboo</a>-breaking that is a usual counterpart of ribaldry underlies its controversial nature and explains why ribaldry is sometimes a subject of <a href="/wiki/Censorship" title="Censorship">censorship</a>. Ribaldry, whose usual aim is <i>not</i> "merely" to be sexually stimulating, often does address larger concerns than mere sexual appetite. However, being presented in the form of comedy, these larger concerns may be overlooked by censors. </p><p>Sex is presented in ribald material more for the purpose of poking fun at the foibles and weaknesses that manifest themselves in <a href="/wiki/Human_sexuality" title="Human sexuality">human sexuality</a>, rather than to present sexual stimulation either overtly or artistically.

Historically these songs tend to be confined to groups of young males, either as students or in an environment where alcohol is flowing freely. An early collection was <i><a href="/wiki/Wit_and_Mirth,_or_Pills_to_Purge_Melancholy" title="Wit and Mirth, or Pills to Purge Melancholy">Wit and Mirth, or Pills to Purge Melancholy</a></i>, edited by Thomas D'Urfey and published between 1698 and 1720. Selected songs from <i>Wit and Mirth</i> have been recorded by the <a href="/wiki/City_Waites" class="mw-redirect" title="City Waites">City Waites</a> and other singers. Sailor's songs tend to be quite frank about the exploitative nature of the relationship between men and women. There are many examples of folk songs in which a man encounters a woman in the countryside. This is followed by a short conversation, and then sexual intercourse, e.g. "The Game of All Fours". Neither side demonstrates any shame or regret. If the woman becomes pregnant, the man will not be there anyway. <a href="/wiki/Rugby_football" title="Rugby football">Rugby</a> songs are often bawdy. Examples of bawdy folk songs are: "<a href="/wiki/Seventeen_Come_Sunday" title="Seventeen Come Sunday">Seventeen Come Sunday</a>" and "<a href="/wiki/The_Ballad_of_Eskimo_Nell" title="The Ballad of Eskimo Nell">The Ballad of Eskimo Nell</a>". <a href="/wiki/Robert_Burns" title="Robert Burns">Robert Burns</a> compiled <i>The Merry Muses of Caledonia</i> (the title is not Burns's), a collection of bawdy lyrics that were popular in the music halls of Scotland as late as the 20th century.
