Britain in bed

[tinkerbell23]

Watching this...

I didnt realise how liberal people actually were "back then"....

Always been led to believe that nowadays people have more casual sex etc

However this prog is giving years that "changed" sex

1961- pill invented/prescribed
1968- 18-30 holidays (shocked at that)
1970ish - page 3 models began
1978- sex parties

You dirty buggers LOL!!!!

Ps im aware i watch alot of sex programmes hahahahah

I think there were two distinct types of people in the 60's- people like my mother who thought sex was a sin (Belfast Catholic) and people like my mother-in-law who was a bit of a wild child being in London and sharing a flat with a lot of other girls in Covent Garden. That continues to old age I think because my mother-in-law's husband is a much younger man and she quite frankly doesn't give a rat's a7se what anyone thinks of anything she does, wheras can't really ever have seen my mother with a Macedonian toyboy in her 70's.

'Back then'.... Blimey woman.... there's been plenty of rudie action way before the sixites.... There is much absolute filth out there. Autobiography of a Flea was first published in the late 1800's I think and it's certainly erm 'liberal'... I've never been able to see the word 'spend' in the same light since reading it.

The world has a long history of 'dirty buggers' ;0)

I wanted to see that prog but something got in the way and I missed it.

Yes - I was there..... IMO there has always been the wild child stuff going, people have always had sex after all - but before the pill (or widely available and reliable other methods of contraception), the huge risk of pregnancy and the social stigma of illegitimacy (and being a "fallen woman") was a huge disincentive. It still happened though! - when I was a teenager in the sixties, it was as if life had been invented, just for us - it was a fabulous era, I'm glad I was there!

Don't remember..................

[boxtops]

Tinks, it's really amusing that each generation thinks they invented sex (I know we did!)

You are bringing back some good memories.. I still remember my thigh length shiny patent leather boots...

[DTCwordfan]

And no AIDs back then, tinkerbell, or at least it wasn't known - and even other STDs weren't really discussed......

Can remember going to Reykjavik and staying in four different beds in successive nights (1977). Those were the days.......

[tinkerbell23]

I mean i know of course people were havin sex but i think ive just grown up around people who got married then had sex and stay married forever!!

Certainly my parents did it before marriage as did my aunts n uncles but 24yes isnt so long ago and my mum wasnt very popular at home being pregnant!!

I just dont think i realized it was as wild- and im just bloody jelous really hahahahahaahahahaha

Glad im provoking some happy memories haha!! Id defo have been the thigh boots and micro minis hehehehe!!!

[boxtops]

I don't think it was quite so - thoughtless - as it is now, though (or am I wrong)? We tended to get to know someone a bit before you went for it - although DT's story might suggest otherwise, perhaps mine is only the female perspective!

[tinkerbell23]

Mabye it is that boxy? It dosent seem as "bad" then as it is now?

I think im a bit..a lot more liberal than my parents- its a generation thing though im sure!!

It will be on again the prog defo worth a watch!!!! Its made me want to see madonnas sex book LOL x

[ummmm]

I think people are just more open now. When my Mum started her periods she thought she was dying. I don't remember a time I didn't know what a period was....same for my daughter and my sons.

How old are you tinker bell. I do think that this is a bit generational. I was born in the mid 60's so grew up 70's and 80's. My kids grew up during the 90's and 2000's and I agree they are much more conservative (small c). I do wonder what the AIDS publicity during the late 80's early 90's might have done to change attitudes.
