I think the biggest difference between the early-moderns (and earlier) vs the later periods is that while behaviour and what's acceptable to DO isn't necessarily that much more (or less) permissive than later and more familiar periods, the whole topic was much less Forbidden. The early-moderns and earlier are, throughout society, much less SQUEAMISH about sex and sexuality, and much less prone to finding the whole topic too Unseemly to talk about.

Cf, well, things like Mercrutio's lengthy discourse about Rosalind's meddlars: this was NOT an Allusive and Complex reference to the vulva, this was like making really really obvious jokes about large roosters and lovely cats, and while yeah, Mercrutio's being coarse as hell (and would have been viably in for being punched in the face if Romeo had wanted to take offense), this isn't considered Too Lewd to be in a play that was performed widely and incredibly popular, and performed for the court and all the worthies of the land.

One will have the occasional story like the idea that Anne of Cleves was too ignorant of sexuality to know that the king had to do more than kiss her and then sleep beside her to end up with her pregnant, but the honestly relevant part of that story is the extent to which literally everyone around her was " . . . . . . " about her being that ignorant - whether true or not (and it might have been), what's fairly obvious is that her level of ignorance would have been extraordinary and strange.

The prudery around TALKING about the subject would come later, mostly.
