Yes, the pill was important and as the  60s rolled on there was much
relaxation on he  part of  parental and school authorities regarding
the  sexes residing together, staying out all night together,
vacationing  together.

But I was mainly referring to the behavior
of  grownups and not to whether sex  was occurring
but whom it was occurring with and how indiscriminately.

Over the broad population, from young adults to the very
late middle-aged.

People were mostly married to someone else.  (or recently separated  
from)

Sex became like shaking hands.

Hope I'm not exaggerating too much.

Roe v. Wade had to be a big factor.

There was nothing to worry about.
