That era shouted at me to have an orgasm! Take a closer look at the cultural history of sexual liberation and the youth of the American era of sexual liberation.
Sexual liberation, also known as sexual revolution, was a social ideology and movement that challenged traditional concepts and sexual morality in the Western world from the 1960s to the 1970s.
Mainly represented by hippies (but more accurately, the Beatles of the early 1960s), they wanted to break free from constraints and challenge authority, so under its influence, rock music and sexual liberation began to rise.
The sexual liberation of the 1920s did not begin in the 1960s, but rather in the early 20th century, when some scientists began to spare no effort in promoting sexual science, resulting in a large number of books and magazines on sexuality and pornography. Some young people have started advocating for sexual freedom and happiness. Premarital and extramarital sexual activities have significantly increased, and the women's liberation movement has further emerged. At the same time, prostitution is also accelerating its development.
Until the end of the World War in the mid-1940s, society shifted towards a period of peace. After the recovery and adjustment, in the 1960s, Europe and America experienced another explosive revolution, transforming sexual conservatism into sexual openness, which was a thorough criticism and reaction to Victorian sexual asceticism. The emergence of the sexual revolution is not accidental, but a historical inevitability, the result of a series of inevitable factors. As mentioned earlier, in addition to its historical roots, modern science that emerged from the late 19th century also had an impact on the sexual revolution, especially Boris and Freud, the two psychologists who first proposed that excessive sexual repression can cause psychological harm to individuals. In the 1950s, the United States experienced rapid economic growth after the war. During this period, the generation that grew up did not have material scarcity or hardship. They were idle, lonely, and eager to have intimate contact with others, which provided the potential for rapid development for sexual liberation.
American hippie culture, a culture centered around men, alleviates inner distress and confusion by having sex with women in the shadow of war. Among thinkers of all ages, Freud was the most popular, and some of his famous sayings were spoken by young Americans who believed in liberation at that time. Freud said: All happiness comes from sexual pleasure; Psychosis originates from not meeting a person's sexual needs; Sexual interference is the most powerful influence of diseases, regardless of gender. Putting these words together, Hefner, the founder of Playboy, has developed a set of sexual philosophy that he is most proud of: people need to vent their sexuality, and serious venting creates healthy people. The Federal Drug Administration has officially launched oral contraceptives in the United States.
This provides convenience for sexual and reproductive decoupling, thus quickly breaking the chain between sex and family. The mechanism of sexual love - not having children - not being brought into the family is the only way to truly achieve 'sexual liberation and freedom'. At that time, there were 16 states in the United States where laws did not allow white and black people to marry. And it happened that in Virginia, a white man who married a black man was going to trial, and the final ruling of the United States Supreme Court was that white people had the right to marry black people. This verdict delighted the rebellious youth of the 1960s. Herpes and AIDS, which cannot be treated with antibiotics, are mainly transmitted through sexual intercourse. These two diseases have a certain obstructive effect on sexual liberators. People discover that sexual liberation is linked to death!
In the 1990s, it was not only the conservative ideology of family morality, but also the revival of the pursuit of romantic love. Therefore, the clamor of sexual freedom began to ebb. The above is a general review of sexual freedom in the United States over the past 50 years. From this, we have at least gained the following inspiration: it forces people to reflect and examine their own behavior, re recognize the value and sanctity of sex, re experience the harmony of both sexes, the fusion of love and the gathering of love, restore human sanctity and dignity, and then return to traditional sexual ethics and family happiness. This brief historical repetition and cost will provide rational support for the new consciousness of human civilization in the 21st century.
It must be admitted that the sexual revolution deviated from the predetermined track, resulting in a large number of social consequences. Most young men and women in the United States prefer to cohabit without getting married and constantly change their cohabiting partners. Playboy began to be released in the United States, which was a clear sign of the sexual revolution. At that time, playboys also played an important role in sexual indulgence. In 1986, its sales decreased from 7 million to 3.4 million. There is a famous pornographic street near Times Square in New York City. During the heyday of the 1970s, there were 20 pornographic cinemas, but in the early 1990s, there were only 4 remaining. Most discotheques in the United States are places where teenagers drink, dance, and indulge, but since the late 1980s, many newly opened discotheques in American cities have only had dance and drinks.
In fact, sexual interpretation is only a feminist movement that opposes gender discrimination and strives for equal social status and political and economic rights for women and men. At the same time, it demands a change in the Christian prohibition of divorce and advocates for freedom of marriage. I just didn't expect to gradually deviate with the changes of the times. In fact, sexual liberation, literally speaking, can easily lead people to think about sexuality, but if we can explore this matter deeper and wider, today's sexual liberation should focus more on supporting diverse families and same-sex marriage systems. This is the truth behind the true pursuit of sexual liberation.
