I was just musing about sexual liberation. As I recollect, it only lasted a decade.

In the 1960s it was still considered very taboo to have sex before marriage or extra-marital affairs. I was a teenager at the time and thought sexual attitudes were horribly repressive on something which was a natural response between people.

In the 70s the lid came off and we grew our hair, went barefoot in the flowers and practiced free love with joy. I took the fullest advantage and enjoyed the lovefest very much. (I will spare you the salacious details).....

In the 80s we were terrorised with AIDS scares daily in the media. It was relentless and miserable. We were constantly warned that when we make love to someone we are also making love to everyone they had made love to, by proxy, so to speak. I divorced my husband early in that decade because I was unwilling to risk his bisexual preferences. Notably, I was not the only one who opted for the single and celibate but safe option.

Thereafter seems to have been one long deluge of fear porn related to sex. I so pity the younger generations who missed the decade of free love. They are bombarded with anything that may quell their instincts and direct them into isolation.

Yuval Noah Harari, homosexual darling and supposed genius adviser to Klaus Schwab, suggests that "the useless" should be controlled using drugs and computer games...... I have no doubt that this is happening and soon we will be witnessing a generation which remains virgin for its entire, short and lonely life.

Interestingly, “abstinence” was not listed as a recommendation for men with monkeypox who are considering having sex, while infected, with other men.
