My thoughts, first, the sexual revolution of the 60’s gave birth to a culture that embraced the idea that sexual intercourse was first and foremost for pleasure with pregnancy a consequence to be mostly avoided...once it became acceptable to have sex outside of marriage, all pleasurable perversions became acceptable.
Second, Western culture has lost its sense of sin. The numbers of people in Western society who attend church service regularly is abysmally small. Ask people to name and explain the 10 commandments and you would be horrified. In it’s place we have moral relativism which makes everything acceptable depending on your point of view.
Finally, there is always a sense of pleasure in the taboo... as everything sexual becomes acceptable it requires a greater depravity to achieve the thrill associated with sexual deviancy and our downward, evil death wish continues.

I agree. I also think the “women’s movement” has done its part to advance this hedonistic view. Even Christian women of today will be ready to lift your scalp if you dare voice the opinion that Scripture says woman was made for man as a helpmate and to reproduce and should never usurp his power
or try to rule over him. If that doesn’t get you burned at the stake by the “Sisterhood”, make the remark that there are, most likely, no female angels. You will NOT experience a civil debate! :)
