A country as prudish as the US (for example) may consider itself enlightened, but the rest of the world may disagree. I know I do. It's sadly hilarious watching all the self-righteous these days.
One thing I don't understand is that I frequently read about what is happening "these days" with prudishness, or religious moralists taking over the country, or a vast wave of intolerance that has sprung up in the US.
It's kind of crazy. Traditional sexual mores are now in full retreat. The conservatives lose every battle they fight. When gay marriage bans were being passed in the last decade, their passage was cited as proof of a growing right wing push to control our lives, when in fact what was happening was that they were getting around to codifying something that everyone before had just assumed was a given. Today, the same thing is happening with transgender locker rooms.
Meanwhile, directly to the topic of this thread, not only has chastity outside of marriage been relegated to a quaint topic of yesteryear, so has the notion that any sort of consensual sex could possibly be bad. As a result, young people are trying out every possible kind to see what they might like.
And, just in case anyone wonders, I'm ok with that. Count me in among the people that thinks what you do with your own body or, with permission, someone else's body, is your own business, and if everyone involved likes it, it's an actual positive things.
But to say that somehow "these days" are prudish just doesn't make much sense to me. What little of traditional morality we still see is a faint minority trying to reclaim power that they once held. Those days are done, and there's no indication they are coming back.
You could use your DA powers and fix it...
