No not humour. But you have taken it that way because the very word ejaculation is generally used in modern ''street language'' if you will, for issues related within the genital area and its all you've ever known. So like a schoolchild in a classroom you give a cheeky giggle when you see it in the text book.

It's like the word Ass. It was used to be profane and used to also simply mean ''Donkey''.

Archaic- vs- modern type of thing.

Now that the OP had received an etymological education, I think this thread can be closed. Read the opening chapter of Wuthering Heights if you want an example of how the word was used. Then read the rest of the book.
