i'll be honest. when cleaning up a relative's house after their husband was deceased, i came across a bunch of 1950s porno magazines..WHITE HOUSEWIVES VIOLATED BY LARGE NEGRO COCKS.



i was horrified. flipping through a couple of these..yep..there was clearly no limits to what was available back then.

it was really an eye-opening experience.

I'd imagine the shite that went on in say, the 20s or the 60s, eras that are known for sex, drugs, and alcohol probably dwarf today's amount of savagery that goes on behind people's backs and closed doors.

I will admit that there is not a new sexual position or a new level of chemical impairment available today that wasn't available in the 1920s.

The percentage of females who were virgins on their wedding days in the 1920s was much higher than in 2015.

The percentage of 30 year-olds who had ever used illegal drugs (or even seen them) in their lives was much lower in 1960 than it is now.

A higher percentage of people today do or have done more "bad" or illicit things than did the comparable sin in 1920 or 1960. Generally, the overall morality of American society has declined over the last century if one were judging from a Puritanical standpoint.

There are many factors, economic and physical mobility, the breakdown of the nuclear family, the sexual revolution, changing mores, etc.
