right, nowadays werewolf erotica is all about the hot naked muscle and shirts torn asunder and all that. but I think bisclavret, the quaint homoerotic werewolf classic that it is, has some pretty interesting things to say around shame, intimacy and clothing/revealing yourself. of course, clothes are the chevalier's tether to humanity and the first thing his wife seeks to establish after he reveals his werewolf nature is whether or not he goes about naked - his nakedness, to her, confirms that he is more beast than man. her immediate reaction is to avoid "laying" with him, she hates the idea of admitting a beast into her bed. to him, to reveal his nature was an act of love and he was immediately punished for this vulnerability. then he supplicates himself before his king, who rewards that vulnerability and his ambiguous beast-man status, treats him with respect. bisclavret sleeps next to all the other knights. when he is finally presented his clothes to turn back, he is ashamed to do so in the presence of the king, perhaps taught by his previous experience - so in a gesture of trust and love, the king gives the werewolf his very bedchamber to safely change. he finds bisclavret transformed, truly revealed, literally sleeping (the ultimate position of vulnerability) on the king's bed - whereupon, in an act of affirmation, he kisses his beloved dog/knight silly. this apex of intimacy between the king & bisclavret takes place in the bed, yes, but with the clothes on, because the intimate truth that was violated & needed to be uncovered and avenged by the king was not bisclavret's body but his humanity

The king ran to embrace him;

more than a hundred times

he hugs and kisses him.

As soon as he got a chance

he gave him back all of his land;

he gave him more than I’m telling you.

“Bisclavret” by Marie de France, 12th C.
