The Sexual Revolution Was One Part Awesome, One Part Dumb

Just because free love and feminism were on the rise in the 1960s, it doesn't mean that people weren't still complete morons when it came to sex and relationships. Some conservative minds continued to view the act of intercourse as being solely for the man's enjoyment (WHAT?), and homosexuality was frequently referred to as a "disease" that needed to be "cured." "Petting" was not something one did to Fluffy the cat, and twenty-something single women were oft considered to be "sluts." Oh, and yes, even your parents believed this crap. —Tina Smithers
