For some reason I always associate prude with prunes. I think it might be because a prune resembles a prude's expression when you mention the pleasures of oral sex.

My first thought as well. I'd call it versimilitude prudes tend to be severe old prunes.

The earliest known use of "prude" as a noun was in 1676, in the writing of George Etherege, a diplomat and playwright. 

The earliest known use of "prude" as a verb was in 1736, in the writing of Richard Savage, a poet and playwright. 

The word "prude" comes from the French word prudefemme, which means "good woman", so it makes me wonder how it evolved into its current meaning.  Prudefemme is the feminine version of prud'homme, which means "good man and true".
