Just curious, but how do you know the morality benchmark has been lowered?
This was a qualitative statement and observation not a quantitative one. By looking at how men and women courted , first date second date, no sex before marriage, church going etc. Steady relationships, married for life, these practices are not observable as mainstream anymore in the 50s and 60s maybe. The reality today is based on one night stands, teenage pregnancy, lowering in the age of girls having fist time sex. Serial dating is much more mainstream, this represents a shift in behavior and moral standards. Let me know your take on this
