Who said "raped"? Customs were different in that day and men much more restrained. After all, there was no cure for any of the better known STDs.

New Yorkers probably threw all care to the wind, but folks from the American Midwest had farms to take care of and injury to their reproductive capacity brought about by an indiscrete daliance meant economic disaster!

It is an error to project current beliefs and standards back on earlier generations who had different problems.
