Sorry you weren’t getting any.
I had to fend them off with a stick.
Actually, I was in my twenties by
then, and not particularly trying.
But did alright, anyway.
It’s probably easier today, with all
the ‘hooking up’ and little to no
stigma attached to living together
while unmarried, not to mention the
‘single mom’ phenomenon.
I guess the point is that love is a
lot freer now than it was back then.
So ease up on harshing the Age of Aquarius.

Best explanation ever. The widespread usage of birth control pills in the 60s changed our society. It changed who scored and who didn’t.
Prior to birth control, women did not want sex outside of marriage for one reason... the baby.
Post birth control, a majority of young women ...and teens ... wanted sex with the guy to whom they were physically attracted, regardless of his suitability as the father of a kid. In my NW Chicago Catholic neighborhood virtually every Polish, Italian and Irish girl I knew age 16 to 26 was doing it. The Puerto Ricans were a little behind...maybe 80% were doing it. The Mexican girls were even farther behind .... maybe 50% were doing it.
One Catholic Pastor/Priest was openly doing it with the Catholic head of the public welfare system. The post Vatican II attitude of all the old Polish and Italian women who felt born in the wrong generation was the remark:
“At least he isn’t doing it with little boys, like the other priests.”
The daughters of Sen Chuck Percy openly joked with Catholic High School girls “give a fuck for Chuck”. There is no doubt in my mind that some of those high school girls did.
Of course, the pill didn’t always work. And sometimes girls weren’t taking the pill when they came across a cute guy. The 80% success of the pill is the reason for the abortion rate.
