+1 Seems like maybe the people of past generations had a point in fostering rigid and strict sexual mores among st young folk. So far this free love experiment has just led to more confusion and accusations. If that is so, we can return to the sexual mores of before, no sex before marriage. Full stop. At least society can be upfront about that instead of espousing free love and sex positivity then leading to all this hand wringing over what is acceptable sex and what is not.

[b]I don't know why the hand-wringing. It's very simple. [/b]

Acceptable = all involved parties consented
Not acceptable = everything else

Also, the official sexual mores of before may have been no sex before marriage, but what people actually did was very different.[/quote]

Sure, it's all very simple... among rational, level-headed people.  Unfortunately, there are certain women who will claim after the fact that a sexual encounter wasn't consensual when it very much was, whether in a drunk stupor or heat of the moment or what-have-you.  So it's very flippant and facile to say consensual sex is acceptable, until someone decides to throw out a false narrative, either out of regret, embarrassment, anger, etc.  Of course we should be teaching our boys to be respectful of women and when no means no.  But our girls absolutely need to know that false accusations are completely unacceptable and IMO, should be strictly sanctioned.  Did anything ever happen to "Jackie," of UVA fame?  Any apology from her?[/quote]
