No it wasn't taboo in the '60s.
Kids were taught that sex was an adult activity and there were responsibilities attached to it.
Kids experimented at their own risk. They had to pay consequences for their actions. Single mother/fatherhood was not acceptable in society. But there was no epidemic of STDs then.
Young single girls who got pregnant either married or 'went away' for a while and gave their babies up for adoption.


It was good. We didn't have kids raising kids. Illegitimate babies ended up with real loving adopted families instead of being unwanted , neglected and abused by irresponsible teenage mothers. Society didn't have to pay the costs of supporting welfare mothers.


Yes, it was good compared to what happens today!

A general called a staff meeting and asked his subordinate officers if sex was work or pleasure. For 45 minutes, his officers made their views known, in an attempt to win the general's favour. No clear winner emerged by coffee break.

The general decided to get a coffee and saw a private minding the table, handing out cups and offering donuts. He thought, what the hell, I'll ask the private if he feels sex is work or pleasure. This was the private's response.

"Well sir, it's definitely pleasure. No question. If it was work, one of you would have ordered me to do it!"

Good one! Thank you for the laugh.
How about the old Ann Landers tale;
In a lecture on sex the lecturer asked, "how many of you would rather go bowling that stay home and have sex with your wife?"
One participant answered, "I have a neighbour who would rather go bowling so when he goes bowling I stay home and have sex with his wife".

There was still a significant number of orthodox religious people in Western society at that time and they condemned sex before marriage.

And some folks know that the more kids you have the more money you get when you are on welfare.

could be one of their many angst-filled problems but at least these brainless wonders will extinguish their kind soon enough.

The evidence is in - Americans born in the '80s and '90s are less likely to be having sex than their parents who were born in the '60s and '70s.

In fact, kids today are having less sex than any other generation since the 1920s – a time when 5 percent of the global population had been killed off by the Spanish flu.

Although it goes against the stereotypes of millennials having easy access to sex from apps like Tinder, honestly… we probably should have seen the signs.

Pokémon Go is now way more popular then Tinder, and teen pregnancy rates are dropping every year. Combine that with easy access to porn and young people living at home for longer, and the results of this study start to make a bit more sense.

And how do they know this? Firstly, people can lie.
Secondly, researches can't spy on people in the privacy of their bedrooms (or not legally or ethically anyway).
Thirdly, even if they coudl legally spy, they wouldn't have the resources to do so.

Of course it may be true that millennials are having less sex, but to pretend that anyone knows to any degree of certainty seems far fetched to me.

There still are some who condemn sex before marriage. But most commonly, in the 60's it was disapproved of and discouraged before marriage. Different from 'condemned'!


Young people now take sexual activity for granted. It's a fun date like in the 60's a movie and a coke and fries was a fun date.
Lasting relationship are not built on sex. That's why most relationships today don't last.


B
oys used to respect girls and didn't marry girls who had 'been around the block' sexually. Now boys seem to use girls with no respect at all.
Girls seem to think sex on a date is expected of them and give it out indiscriminately. Then they wonder why boys treat them like dog sh-t.

What kind of people are raising these kids?

Save more what? Contraceptives trump your stupid statement.

Even if you are a 1%er you get paid the same amount as a welfare mom for having kids but with tax credit incentives that a welfare mom doesn't qualify for.

I think we can safely say that the "give me" generation hasn't matured enough to have children. Millennials expect that everything should be given to them. They are, despite their age, the worst generation for thinking they are owed. Whether it's more money, extra time to hand in assignments, deserving to be management, etc.they leave Gen x and Y in the dust for thinking too much of themselves. There are exceptions naturally, but they are few and far between.

Of course, that will change as they age.
