History shows that attitudes toward sexuality have been subject to the proverbial "Pendulum Swing" phenomenon.
Periods of promiscuity have been followed by periods of prudishness, then back toward the other extreme. The 1940s and 50s were an era of extreme modesty while the 1960s, 70s, and 80s were a period of sexual liberation.
However, sexuality is phenomenon that is not going to become extinct and no matter what the prevailing attitude is, people will always pursue an outlet for their feelings.
