In Victorian times decent women were not supposed to enjoy sex. Sex was something a woman endured to become pregnant, --- the goal of decent women, to give their husbands as many children as possible.
Naturally, a thin waist, the hourglass figure, was the ideal of fashion and when a fashionable pregnant woman began "to lose her figure," she would lace herself tighter. When the lacing would no longer work, she would confine herself to her home, until her baby was born.
