NSFW If you engaged in intimate relationships during the 1980s, did you do this?

Below is an extract from an article that discusses how ‘promiscuous’ women discuss sex with their daughters and the author shared her thoughts on oral sex.

She wrote “When I was young, for example, oral sex was not part of most teens’ sexual repertoire. We moved from kissing to touching to intercourse, with oral sex perhaps making an appearance months or even years down the track. A person who engaged in oral sex back in the eighties would have been considered to have been engaging in quite intimate sexual practices.

These days, young people consider oral sex to be foreplay. Many young girls are giving blow jobs to boys as an alternative to sex, and as a ‘safe’ way to experiment with sexuality. I find this anathema to my beliefs about empowered sex; I don’t believe in performing sexual acts routinely without gaining any sexual pleasure in return. But I am not sixteen. I am forty five.”

What are your thoughts on these comments? Do you agree with her appraisal of sexual activity in the 1980s?
