- galfarragem 4y agoAnecdotally (according older people I know) having a supply of regular sex was way more difficult before. More shaming, more religion, less welfare, etc, may explain it. At the time, marriage could solve that biological need. edit: 80+ year old's in conservative Europe

- rhino369 4y agoBefore the 1960s, teenage sex lead to having a family—whether you wanted it or not—for the most part. So no, they generally didn’t have access to consequence free sex like we do.
- trentearl 4y agoEven now 27% of Americans aged 15 to 24 are virgins. I have to assume this number was higher for single people 50 years ago.
