Meh, looks like he’s probably just using it as a synonym for damned, so just classic boring religious condemnation of horny. Though in fairness he may just be using it descriptively and playfully the way we now use “naughty” I guess?
The title can possibly refer to prejudices related to women and their open sexuality during the 1800s; in other words, a woman so open and free is “damned” because she is not chaste or coy.
So jokes aside, why is it titled this way? Or is the title actually a joke?
