I think this is a myth developed to teach kids so they won't have sex. I don't think sex was any better then. It's just that those having bad sex never complained because such things weren't discussed.
In theory, sex should be better these days with all the information that's availailable and the openness about it. But I'm not so sure of that, given all the complaints people have of bad sex.
