You don’t even need to look to aged books! Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix used ‘ejaculate’… and many other choice phrases:

The first verse is the best:
On a tree by a river a little tom-tit
Sang “Willow, titwillow, titwillow!”
And I said to him, “Dicky-bird, why do you sit
Singing Willow, titwillow, titwillow’?”
“Is it weakness of intellect, birdie?” I cried,
“Or a rather tough worm in your little inside?”
With a shake of his poor little head, he replied,
“Oh, willow, titwillow, titwillow!”
The Little House on the Prairie had Laura chasing tits at one point, if I remember correctly.
And then there are nursery rhymes:
Ding dong bell, pussy in the well
Who put her in? Little Johnny Flynn
Who pulled her out?Little Tommy Stout…
It was The Silver Chair, and not Lucy, but Eustace’s female friend.
What makes it even scarier, using the modern meaning, is it was GIANTS she was ‘making love’ to.
From 1898 -
E.W. Hornung’s story “The Ides of March” about gentleman thief AJ Raffles includes
“But I fagged for you at school”
“Anyway I recollect fagging you to do my verses”
and
“Because he had been kind to me at school, when he was captain of the eleven, and I his fag”
Fag in this sense apparently is a reference to a younger student helping an upperclassman with stuff.
Hey, Sketch:
“Call me Butt Love, and I’ll be new baptiz’d.”
I stand corrected. I hadn’t noticed that.
I remember reading one of Enid Blyton’s “Famous Five” books, in which one of the characters was a tomboy called Georgina, which she shortened to George. One of the lines in it was:
Dick ejaculated, “George, you’ve got as much spunk as any boy!”
The reference I was just trying to remember is from The Silver Chair, in which it’s Jill Pole, not Lucy, and the people in question are giants, not relatives. Apologies if there really is a Lucy reference in one of the other books.
And on another well-trodden theme in this thread, The War of the Worlds has the narrator visiting someone’s house in great urgency, and the lady of the house hurrying downstairs to the door, while her husband follows her, ejaculating. Makes you wonder what they were doing before the rude interruption
You dieth, G.I.!
sorry, couldn’t resist

TITS LIKE COCONUTS!!!
They are also fond of sunflower seeds, cracked corn, etc…

From James Fenimore Cooper’s Last of the Mohicans:
I can’t stop laughing.
I love little pussy,
Her coat is so warm,
And if I don’t hurt her,
She’ll do me no harm.
So I’ll not pull her tail,
Nor drive her away,
But pussy and I,
Very gently will play.
Enid Blyton of course has numerous references to ‘feeling queer’ ‘gay fellows’ and ‘fags,’ and of course has characters called Fanny and Dick. They characters also ejaculate a lot and sleep together all the time. It gave me some extra laughs as a knowing chld
I think the meaning changed around WWII, although there were several years of overlap. I’m pretty sure I’ve seen the term used both ways by Chandler, who was writing from the '30’s to the '50’s
I also just read “The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe” about a month ago and I think I recall a passage where Lucy did indeed go around the house making love to people, in that case, playing at being an older girl with her suitors.

Boy, this many posts and no one has mentioned Emily Dickinson’s poem with the line about “…the tiger’s mighty balls…” (Eyeballs, that is), or the poet (Browning? Shelly?) who wrote about “nun’s twats”, thinking that the term meant their headgear (the real term is “wimple”).
Conan the Barbarian, inn Robert E. Howard’s stories, is constantly ejaculating.
Crom!
In “Pippa Passes” Browning writes:
Then, owls and bats, cowls and twats,
Monks and nuns, in a cloister’s moods,
Adjourn to the oak-stump pantry!
I’ve read that some dictionaries, out of deference to the poor poet, include as a definition of twat “an unspecified article of nun’s clothing” but I’ve never seen this.
I once saw, in a discussion of this sort, a passage from a Victorian novel describing a man whose job it was to pump the bellows of the church organ. He fell in love the organist, and apparently there was a passage something like:
“When she touched his organ, even that neglected instrument became a source of pleasure again.”
I’ll see if I can find it.
A little different than most of these mentioned, but still kind of funny. While home for Christmas, I was looking through my mother’s Betty Crocker Hostess Cookbook circa 1965. In the front it had some guidelines for hostesses, including a discussion of how you should provide ashtrays on every level surface of the house plenty of matches and perhaps even a selection of cigarettes if you were so inclined. Forty years later, we hosted an open house, no ashtrays, matches or cigarettes. If anyone invited smokes, I don’t know it; but if someone does, I am sure that he or she would have stepped outside and away from the front door so as not to disturb anyone without even being asked.
But did your Betty Crocker Hostess Cookbook refer to the cigarettes as “fags”?
