I remember a discussion at rec.arts.sf.composition (c. 2000?) with David Friedman and others. Someone (DF iirc) came up with a reference suggesting that it was originally advice given for use during childbirth rather than during sex. And Queen Victoria had said something else about something else. ;-)
