Kim C: I had not meant to suggest otherwise. The stuff I posted was in response to something SRS said earlier.

The notion that sex is something new is strange. Just look at world population figures. What you say about repression is true. Even in my mother's day, women were perceived to be loose if they smoked in public. However, they did smoke in private. My grandmother told me that "some girls" used to get pennyroyal from the drug store to use as a 'morning after' tonic. And all one has to do is read the history of the condom to realize that sex could be here to stay, because it sure as shootin' has been here since the beginning of this thing we call life.
