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.

There used to be a natural hot spring way up in the high BC Rocky Mountains, that were actually started up I'm told in the early 1900's. People continued to build it up over the years into 1 large pools and 1 smaller one. In the olden days, you would get to it on a horse, then when logging started, a logging road went by it, but you wouldn't want to go up the road unless you had 4X4 or a truck with good clearance. 

Unfortunately they were on a minor fault line and the line shifted and a landslide and they disappeared. I guess that was about 7-8 years ago and I haven't been back . Heard an older gentleman has camped up there every year and has rebuilt some pools, not as big and deep, and the water temp is not as hot, but still warm. Kudos to him!! It is in a provincial ecological zone so no official development would be allowed.

There was a sign there that I always think of when I hear the word prude. It was carved into a log cut in half about 3 ft long, to provide a seat on the edge of one of the smaller, intimate pools: Don't be a prude, go nude!!
