By the way, one other point: Americans are becoming less prude in terms of homosexuality, premarital sex, and even teenage sex. The only trend towards prudery is for extramarital sex: 82% say it's always wrong. That's about a 7% increase from the mid-80s. Then again, the GSS began in 1972 (when only 70% said it was always wrong), so maybe we're not becoming more prude, but returning to normalcy...
