[QUOTE="Scorpio Rising, post: 1272707, member: 8132"] A while back I posted about our wild parties in the 1970's which was the decade when things really began to cut loose, not the 60's. Before the so called sexual revolution began in earnest a kind of reverse 80/20 rule was in effect. For generations the worst thing that could happen to a "good girl" was to lose her reputation. You had to be going steady if not engaged (still lots of young marriages back then) to have a chance. Even then sex was doled out in slow steady increments, often stopping short of going "all the way." The 20% or so of young women who would "put out" were still for the most part not wildly indiscriminate. The 70's began to chip away at that but even then no one was accumulating triple digit notch counts and eventually almost everyone got married and at least tried to settle down. I actually think the 80's was in some ways a bit more conservative than the 70's, the AIDS scare having more than a little to do with that. In the 90's I believe is when things really started going crazy. Despite it all many Boomers had Gen X and even Millennial kids who followed a more or less traditional path to marriage. I know a lot of these kids that are now adults making their way in modern day America. As for your pro traditional view point I am in now way criticizing or disagreeing. Yes today's modern women is much less happy than their mothers and grandmothers were. [/QUOTE]
