Sex Revolution: The Pill

In the 1960's the birth control premiered on all counters for women to buy. Birth control was definitely a major influence on sex in society at that time. Now that women had the opportunity to exercise their sexuality freely there was nothing else to stop them. Women now had the same leisure that men had y wearing a condom. Very minimal risks lead the 60's into a sexual frenzy.

Since both my grandparents lived in El Salvador and weren't around during the birth control frenzy in america, I decided to interview my friends grandpa. I asked what it was like to live in this time period. He told me that it was a fast paced crazy time period that changed america completely. The 60's brought friendly old america into the real world. Women were openly having sex with men because the birth control pill protected them from any unexpected surprises. He had many stories that he shared with me about women in the past and how in changed the way women acted and thought. Before this sex was tabooed as an inappropriate act and after this it was freed and expressed everywhere. Because of it americans have sex regularly. It has been socially accepted and it is not uncommon for men and women to have sex without being married. He added by saying how his views on sex changed completely from what he was taught. He realized sex is a beautiful thing that shouldn't be hidden and he is so happy he got to live through that era.
