"In fact, the past was more sordid, grubby and immodest than anything we can now imagine." Please elaborate for us.
and.........there were tv crews around to tape the events and disseminate it into homes all around the world...right????? I am alluding to the idea that personal debauchery's influence was pretty much limited to those within eye shot or ear shot of the event in the past, but not theses days. Which means we have more responsibility to keep our personal perversity's private.

Nope. In the good old days you went down to your choice of local whorehouse and did your sinning in person. We've become spectators.
