When I was in high school in the '50s I recall some books in my rural
school's library that had lines like these in them:

"naked with her friend in bed,"
"Lie with her? lie on her?"

"an old black ram/ Is tupping your white ewe"

 "Would you, the supervisor, grossly gape on? Behold her topp'd?"

 "I cannot say 'whore.' It does abhor me now I speak the word"

 "Yet again, your fingers to your lips?  Would they were clyster-pipes
for your sake!"

"[ his ] codpiece seems as massy as his club"

 "Troth, and your bum is the greatest thing about you, so that in the
beastliest sense you are Pompey the Great"

"The vengeance on the whole camp! . . .or rather, the Neapolitan
 bone-ache!"

 "[I] dic'd not above seven times-a week ...[ and ] went to a
bawdy-house not above once in a quarter-of an hour"

"Pistol's cock is up, And ... fire will follow"

"[ I ] serv'd the lust of my mistress' heart and did
 the act of darkness with her. ... [ and was ] one that slept in the
 contriving of lust, and wak'd to do it"

 "Front her, board her, woo her, assail her,"

One of the books told the story of two teenagers that were boffing.
But they died at the end, so maybe that made the book OK for teenagers
to read.

I don't know why parents didn't show up and demand that this trash be
removed from the school library.  I guess they didn't have KSFO to
warn them.
