No, I meant the majority of the 2T, that time when, for the male gender, a hard penis was as good as hard currency. Even if you weren't that much into it you could still meet and mingle with people a lot easier in those pre-cellphone days than you can now. Some feel that the hookup sites and apps have taken over where free love left off, but am not so sure about that. Studies have shown that people in general are having much less sex today than the 20 and 30-somethings of our youth did. Very likely there are many contributing factors, including a general power struggle within the society which seems to be spoiling the mood. And, while it was a wild and fun time in many ways the period did also have its dark sides. In some circles cheating on one's spouse or lover created many bruised egos along with many visits to divorce courts. There were more workplace flings in those pre-sexual harassment times and although workplace romances still do exist (we are reminded of this every Valentine's Day), the journey from boardroom to bedroom is located with more speed bumps these days. You now have to be way more careful to avoid saying something that you may regret later. Do however think things there went farther than they really needed to.
Nevertheless, every year when the fourth Thursday of November rolls around I give my thanks that I was able to be part of the world during that halcyon period after The Pill and before AIDS. No doubt the best time in the history of the world to be single.
