I dont know, but he might be right. Society was more kinky than we think it was and writers, to avoid being banned, would resort to using code phrases to hide the real meaning of their words.
I’m OK with that. We all know the meaning without the raw explicit material. There’s more ingenuity and beauty in subtleties.

The Bronte sisters lived in an isolated Yorkshire village in the middle of the 19th century. They were socially restricted as the neighborhood was decidedly working class and the daughters of an educated clergyman were of a higher social status than the people they lived amongst. Charlotte made, however, lifelong friends from school mates but Emily, author of Wuthering Heights, was primarily a shy loner. Her only novel did not deal with physical lust but with the natural world infused with the spiritual. She would be ashamed at the mess modern film makers have made of her characters. I wonder the Bronte Society does not try to stop this degeneracy.
