I once saw a couple having sex while wandering on campus in high school. They were in a spot near the football field that was across from where some of us hung out to wait for the bus home. At first I thought, "Oh, God!", thought it couldn't be, and did a double take. O_o

Okay, okay, maybe 'sex' existed prior to the sixties. But there was a 'sexual revolution' in part because of the introduction of the birth control pill. So there. There's your invention.....and it's hell-a important, too. I think it was released in 1960.


And sorry for vandalism.
