According to urban legend, this was the instruction that Victorian brides received about coping with the sexual demands of their husbands. Childbearing was a patriotic duty.

In fact, Victorian attitudes about sexuality and reproduction were far more complex and varied - but this makes a good story.

Nowadays, the connotation is "you're about to get screwed."
