denniesim: It was a popular saying in the 19th century, but Victoria never said it. Her diary (and nine children) show that she enjoyed sex very much. The portrait she gave Albert (and hung over his desk), shows her reclining, hair down, one strap of her nightgown off the shoulder, and a “when are you coming to bed” expression. It is a wonder the man got any work done facing that picture. While there is no record of her giving advice on the subject, other evidence shows that if she did, it would be, “relax and enjoy your husband”; she sure did.
