The Impact of the Sexual Revolution and Material Changes

The sexual revolution of the 1960s was a result of material changes, including the availability of the pill and economic shifts. These changes allowed women to have control over their fertility and participate more in public life. However, the ideological revolution that accompanied it brought about a rejection of tradition and the idea of sex having a sacred status. The sexual revolution has become dominant and questioning its effects is considered taboo. The revolution severed sex from reproduction and changed societal attitudes towards the significance of sex in women's lives.
