This is an actual extract from a sex education school textbook for girls,
printed in the early 60's in the UK.
When retiring to the bedroom, prepare yourself for bed as promptly as
possible. Whilst feminine hygiene is of the utmost importance, your tired
husband does not want to queue for the bathroom, as he would have to do for
his train. But remember to look your best when going to bed.
Try to achieve a look that is welcoming without being obvious. If you need
to apply face-cream or hair-rollers wait until he is asleep as this can be
shocking to a man last thing at night.
When it comes to the possibility of intimate relations with your husband it
is important to remember your marriage vows and in particular your
commitment to obey him.
If he feels that he needs to sleep immediately then so be it. In all things
be led by your husband's wishes; do not pressure him in any way to stimulate
intimacy. Should your husband suggest congress then agree humbly, all the
while being mindful that a man's satisfaction is more important than a
woman's. When he reaches his moment of fulfilment a small moan from yourself
is encouraging to him and quite sufficient to indicate any enjoyment that
you may have had.
Should your husband suggest any of the more unusual practices, be obedient
and uncomplaining but register any reluctance by remaining silent. It is
likely that your husband will then fall promptly asleep so adjust your
clothing, freshen up and restore your night-time face and hair care
products.
You may then set the alarm so that you can arise shortly before him in the
morning. This will enable you to have his morning cup of tea ready when he
awakes.
