I don't believe there was any sexual connotation in that context. John Howard, Duke of Norfolk, used the word in a similar fashion when in 1485, while preparing to resist the invasion of Henry Tudor, he wrote a letter to John Paston urging him to bring "seche company of tall men" to meet him. He signed the letter, "Yower lover." (Paston apparently didn't cooperate.)
