In the article an attempt is made to determine the most important reasons why the percep­tions of physical love in Upper Lusatian and Cassubian literatures are so rare. Determinants of this situation are beyond literary system (non-literary) and immanent in nature. The main caus­ative factors of the scope of the latter include the formal and thematic limitations inherent in the “small” literatures: limited literary communication (few authors, texts, readers), reductions in non-canonical genres and themes, dominating patriotic message of the literary works. The under­lying decentralising factors include: the fact that the dominant group among the writers of both minorities were male priests, social and religious conservatism of both societies, blocking (until 1945) the development of women’s literature, understanding literature as amanifestation of high culture in which there is no place for sexuality (which is an opposition to folk literature, immodest in this respect, of both minorities), and consequently, sacralisation of both languages resulting from thisfact.
