The Sexual Revolution

Post Reply New Topic

The Sexual Revolution which began in the 1960's and lasted up until the 1980's, has changed us in many ways. We now see sex as a normal thing, as opposed in the 1950's, where sex was considered dirty and impure for the younger generation. We also have accepted LGBT people in our culture, whereas before the Sexual Revolution, being an LGBT person meant that your reputation would be ruined, and that people believed that it was a mental disorder.

What other effects from the Sexual Revolution continue to reverberate in our culture and society to this day?

AIDS is the entity which has "backtracked" the "sexual revolution" somewhat.

People became much more cautious, and less promiscuous, in general, after about 1984-1985. Before about 1984, AIDS was seen as being "the gay disease."

However, in general, there is much more acceptance for the LBQT+ lifestyle these days than in 1984-1985.

It lead to the breakdown of the family which lead to huge increases in crime and poverty.

^ my understanding is that feminism tends to come in "waves".

effective and easily accessible birth control comes to mind. don't know where we'd be without it.

Women got tired of not having legal rights......

While they managed households they could never own....just because they were women.

Well, it's been around for a while, actually.

Ca. 1500 B.C., Egypt was a matriarchal society. (Hatshepsut and others after her.) The Kushites (Nubians) were even more so. Women may have played more varied roles in the Viking world than originally thought (one hero's tomb is looking more like that of a heroine, lately). Several North American indigenous cultures (Iroquois, Lenape, Hopi, among others) were/are matrilineal - which means that family wealth and property, not merely lineage, passes through the maternal line. Sacagawea was Shoshone and is now considered a far more important member of the expeditionary team than she was in 19th century depictions.

It's out there, and it's been around for a long time.

(edit in: ah, I see - thanks for the update limiting the time frame! Never mind... )

Another Great Topic on the 'Wrong Planet' per the Sexual Revolution;
And Considering, our closest Kissing Cousin Apes, the Bonobo,
uses many different all natural devices of Sexual Activity
to avoid aggression and violence with no
Monkey
Business
of World War III; Additionally
I find it extremely interesting
in the 'Dance Halls' of Life that
now Women on their initiative Jump
up and Down as such in Bootie Dances
they create; only problem of course is some folks
get left out of the action as we humans are a tad bit
still more discriminate in selecting others to engage with
in arousing behaviors like this; in this way, Homogenous Societies
have their way with each other more and so do more dominate 'alpha
looking fearless males' as to who this or that male is that women these days
Choose to do an all clothed 'Bonobo Dance' with on the Dance Floors of life; additionally too,
the Aesthetic Quality of Healthy and close to Naked bodies in Malls as advertisement for just about all
there is to buy today I find
quite pleasing and no; not
offensive at all; as I ain't scared
and get selected enough for Bootie
Dances to not feel bad about getting left out other wise
Pornography provides at least a vicarious avenue where
no one gets left out in the Kingdom of Now; for sure, why the hell does
one wanna blow things up when all the 'Virgin Looking' women are as close
as a button push of 'Loving Touch' away from Suicide Bomb Buttons and the such as that.
It's true; the Sexual Revolution not only makes lives it saves lives for SLM Sex Life Matters more when free.
And on top of this; the Science of Lust and Love indicates that the Lust Part of the Sexual Revolution leads
to greater Creativity and Productivity as a Libido source of Muse that really should not be any surprise for
those in the feel and sense of doing that for real; and even better, when Women get turned on as such
they tend to show off their social cooperation to lure in desirable mates too; so yes, in general,
everyone wins with a Sexual Revolution as long as the Neurohormone Oxytocin still
comes to play in social bonding ways so a village still sticks together in
Altruistic Ways to Garden and Raise a Child as Love so the entire
Revolution and Evolution of the Human Species Carries on, Healthy.
Leave out the Love and even Bonobos Screw up in the other ways too.
We have a problem too, 'Houston' as Science Studies of Humans in the last few
decades suggests a very substantial decrease of around 30 Percent of empirical
measures of Empathy among College Age Students. The Sexual Revolution without
Empathy can and will be more of a game of Abuse than consensual activity. True though;
Bootie Dances
don't make me mad.
I can tolerate them as no
one gets hurt in the longer run of that with
at least little old me out in a Free Dance of Love.
I love the Sexual Revolution; so frustrating it was to be limited
to just Bra and Panty Photos in the Sears and Roebuck Catalog in Puberty years of old.
But on the other Hand, I probably got a whole lot more School Work Done and Learned to
Love Women with Emotions instead of just Octopus Arms and the Hands of that activity too.
As in all stuff life, there is Dark and Light that comes with what is. Sex Sales and Capitalism
ain't
gonna
let that S E X dollar bill go;
And on top of that Porn was the
major driving creative and productive
influence for the very existence of online
as we do it now in so many different ways of Free.
Anyway, if anyone is interested in Empirical Studies related
to this; two Youtube Links below on Lust and Love and Bonobo
Extra Credit
Loving ways too;
And oh, by the Way
that 'Heavenly Pill' that
came to be in '60 the year of
my Birth, I do agree started this
New age of Freedom for all who Love
Freedom more naked from Head to toe;
And yes, the EartH in some ways at least as us
can and will thank the pill creators from saving
the Earth from too much of us still to come as
the Population of Humans is projected to finally
stabilize with additional reproductive birth control
by the middle of Century that is Good News for all who are concerned
for in this way, 'the Pill' may save us all from additionally suffering otherwise to come.
So, Go Sexual Revolution Go; as 'You' the 'Pill' and 'Porn' may be the Real Saviors of the Human World for True
most folks don't do Porn and make Babies at the same time on the 'other hand' as such; heHe; 'Jesus "S" Christ'.

I'm glad you're not "normal." You're Chronos. You can be a trip at times LOL But you are you!

I find you "rebellious" in your own way. You rebel against the absurdities of the world.
