Is Daphne bridgerton's total ignorance regarding sex and the male anatomy accurate to what a woman of her social standing would have known in that time period?

by this_is_an_alaia

In Bridgerton Daphne, the eldest girl has absolutely no knowledge of what sex is, what the penis is, what it does, or how women get pregnant and have children, even once she is married.

She isnt shown to be naive- she knows women get a 'reputation' for going into a maze known for hooking up, and is seen spending time with her brothers in inappropriate venues like the boxing.

Is it accurate that she would be kept so in the dark when she has older brothers she is close with, is around animals, and has many friends of a similar age? Would there not have been gossip and whispers from women who were more adverturous than her, even if her mother didn't prepare her?
