Deep dives
Impact of the Sexual Revolution on Women's Sexual Agency
The advent of contraception significantly transformed women's ability to navigate their sexual relationships. Prior to the pill, women often cited the risk of pregnancy as a reason to decline sexual advances, thus maintaining a level of agency over their bodies. With the introduction of reliable contraception, this rationale diminished, creating social pressures for women to engage in sex, often leading them to feel obligated to comply with male desires. This shift has been linked to a feeling among women of needing to engage in sex to be polite or agreeable, rather than out of genuine desire or attraction.
