A study
This may explain some things about the crowded family dynamics of then vs. now.
A study was done in the early 1970s in which researchers (in human behavior) put 20 strangers (men & women from age 20~30) in a room that was pitch dark for a few hours. Researchers had night-vision camera and microphones and recorded what they people did.
Its just past the 60s... so what do you think they did?
First, typical chat - they are in a room they couldn't see a thing. After a short while - they would talk about naughty things. There were touching... and feeling going on... maybe even groping. Nobody shouted "STOP!" or stopped anything from happening. That's about it. Door opens, and they left.
In the past year or so, the exact same study was done (with better cameras). What do you think happened?
First, typical chat - they are in a room they couldn't see a thing. After a short while - they would talk about sexual things. And then... nothing more... Nobody TOUCHED anyone. You would have thought in TODAYS more sexual freedom world - that they would have had oral and intercourse sex - or at least a hand job.
(In some of the parties I go to... the DARK room = lots of people having sex)
But no. Why? Researchers think the following: Because women and men have more sexual freedom, women have more rights today then the 60s and are allowed to show skin... and of course there is plenty of internet porn. That as a modern people - we have sexual outlets available. While in the "good old days" - people kept appearances and such in public, but in the dark - with anonymity and nobody to witness them being naughty - they would touch and catch a feel.
We're all still human. We are as sexual today as we were in the 70s, the 50s, the 30s, the 1880s, etc.
