I too would certainly raise an eyebrow at the use of the term "pornography",
but there is certainly a comic tradition of sexually promiscuous nuns in Old
French that you could productively investigate. If you would like references
to abbesses confiscating disembodied phalluses for their own pleasure,
scolding their underlings for depravity while wearing their lover's trousers
on their head, or tales of nuns refusing entry to monks cursed with
insufficient endowment, I would be happy to oblige. Have you come across the
literary tradition of the nuns' tournament?
