I enjoyed it. Never married.
Was maybe 25, now 49, when I met a GORGEOUS gal at a bar and drove to her house and she invited me in.
She said keep quiet because there are a THREE and a FIVE year old in the house.
I told her no thanks.
Going into the house didn’t mean we were going to have sex, but I was horrified that she would invite a man she didn’t know into the house with TWO KIDS there.
Went home and had a few drinks and cried myself to sleep :)
I pulled point in the so-called Sexual revolution back in the ‘60’s. Then was out of action when married for eleven years until the early ‘80s. Then back at it again.
Had a ball. But through it all I knew in the back of my mind that what we were doing was self-destructive to the society and culture.
Still...
In 1996 Bob Dole asked the question “Where is the outrage?” The answer was that there was none. America had come to accept hedonistic debauchery. There was no judgement on Bill Clinton or any other form of sexual depravity that hurt other people. The moral paradigm has shifted. Don’t confuse this feminist faux feminist “outrage” against harassers as a call for real moral behavior. The feminists are merely engaging in a power grab. The fact is that traditional sexual morality underscored a higher ethical goal. Mankind had come to understand the complexity and long lasting psychological effects of sexual activity. Debauchery hurt many people especially women and children. Moral codes were meant to protect them. When these codes were rejected by the majority of society, the harm now witnessed to many was inevitable.
I think this is less about “paying the price” for immorality, and more about the left advancing a revolutionary goal. They hate everything male and white.
This woman’s groped thing is just another prong on the BLM, antifa, occupy pitchfork.
They have been full participants in whore culture. They didn’t suddenly find religion. They saw a way to grab political power and that’s about all this is.
The sexual revolution is over and the microbes won.

Feminism, a leftist organ, is directly responsible, ironically, for the attack on women. When roles were more rigidly defined, women were largely protected from hostile workplaces by husbands, fathers and the community at large.
Watching tv: commercial for liquid plumR showing lots of buttcrack.
commercial for Trojan condoms, couple in a huge rush at the drugstore picking out the best condoms, then a big run for the door.
Shave club commercial, man in a towel blow-drying his genitals.
I can’t wait for the Viagra commercials with 2 homosexual men.
We are in a society so obsessed with sex that the media can’t think of anything else of interest.
“If it feels good do it. Have whatever sexual relationships you want, when you want, with whoever you want. That is and has been the prevailing societal view for decades, and it permeates our music, art, film, literature, social media, and conversations. There is nothing right or wrong. Oh, sure, folks will say it is wrong to hurt other people. But the truth is, when you throw objective morality out the window, everyone gets hurt.”
This is what is behind the latest sexual hysteria. It is about drunken celebrants waking up the morning after feeling as dirty as hogs crawling out of a mud wallow. Well, the chickens have finally come home to roast. Try as you might, most can not escape universal human morality.
They can thank Bill Clinton...he’s still breathing. H played one of the bigger roles in it.
Yep, when we try to replace God’s law with the PC police, atheists, shrinks, this is what we get.
Of course this kind of misconduct goes way back. Predates America. The thing that really changed is women are actually willing to call BS on it.
Wasn’t it Bubba Klintoon that taught an entire two generations that sex was defined differently?
I truly think the sexual revolution was due to women becoming able to screw and not get pregnant. That turned many women into man-like creatures. It also caused them to lose their identity as women. Oh well. We still have a pretty good society that continues to learn. Me too.
The underlying problem is that children from a young age are raised in a sexually segregated situation.
If you have ever raised dogs, you know that if they are raised apart from other dogs, unless neutered they will still want to mate, but cannot help seeing other dogs as “the enemy” to their human-led pack.
Children are different in that again, while they will still want to mate, they have no experience in interacting with the other gender.
In our society they are *effectively* gender segregated until they are 16 or 17 years old, then they are *magically* expected to date one or more of the other gender, pick one and get married, then live happily ever after, with children.
How utterly insane are these expectations?
Demographers know that when a nation reaches an economic plateau unique to that nation, the birthrate suddenly plummets from growth to maintenance. While it is almost impossible for government and the culture to raise the birthrate, it is easy for them to lower it even further.
A recipe for national collapse.
So how do we turn this mess around?
First, we must learn to raise our children in closely chaperoned, gender desegregated conditions. Even if we have to use soft handcuffs to keep boys and girls together. And prevent any efforts to self-segregate.
Second, conservative and orthodox Christian churches need to prioritize marriage and children using the model of the “Quiverfull” sect. Simply put, to *once again* put the having and raising of children at the head of the list of things that the faithful want to do with their lives.
The things prioritized today, like social status, materialism, “personal growth”, and all the entertainments we embrace, must be seen as far behind marriage and family.
Indeed we are propagandized by our government and culture that we should only have children if we are able to give them a fortune in material goods, social status, etc.
But this is the same government and culture that promulgate child sexuality, sexual license, single parent families, pornography, public school indoctrination, and bitter hatred of Christianity itself.
Seriously, would our lives be any poorer by discarding such foolishness?
Pin pulled on that grenade in the 1950’s (Alfred Kinsey, Hugh Heffner, Helen Gurley Brown, etc.)
Yep. And all in the wake of the death of Hugh Hefner. The Atlantic actually ran an article with a title that suggested Trump was worse for women than Hefner.
Huh?
Hefner objectified women as toys, playthings, useful for sexual relief and that is about it. Oh, he elevated a few to business positions (daughter Christie) or to relative “star” status (Marilyn Monroe, Pamela Anderson)...but these are exceptions and not rules.
Trump employs hundreds (thousands?) of women across the globe, has as his primary spokesperson a southern belle, and apparently listens carefully to the advice of his daughter Ivanka. Bottom line is that Trump has RESPECT for women. His braggadocious ramblings were boorish and wrong, but not indicative of the man’s overall record.
(steps off soapbox)
We're all prone to stray, whether you want to call it original sin or biological imperative. People are drawn to beauty and power and biological diversity. We're hard-wired to reproduce or go extinct, yet monogamy and family stability are survival traits as well.
The war goes on daily, even here on FR. For every time we complain about one outrage, we excuse another.
For every "Did the woman accuse a man with political convictions I support? Liar and Bimbo!"
There is a "Was the Teacher Hot? Not guilty!"
And I don't excuse myself.
The real irony is that those who separated sex and morality are now trying to make them one and the same.....can’t make this crap up....
