  • Sexual Attitudes in The U.S

    Sexual attitudes in the U.S. have changed over time from restrictive to more permissive views. The sexual revolution of the 1960s promoted a philosophy of "if it feels good, do it" and introduced new forms of birth control like the pill. However, this led to a counterrevolution advocating a return to traditional family values and sexual responsibility. Today, Americans have mixed views, with about half seeing premarital sex as acceptable and half disapproving depending on age and religion. Married couples report the highest levels of sexual satisfaction and fidelity, while extramarital sex is more common among certain groups.
