Of course I don't think things were perfect prior to the '60's. We are all faulty human beings, then and now. But now, we seem to have lost whatever semblance of sanity we had left. We do NOT have a healthy view of sex or our sexuality today. And our use and the readily availability of contraception is another cause of this problem, a major one. What is naive is our view of sex today, that we can have sex without regard for the natural consequences, that we can turn off our natural biological reproductive functions without consequence. False. The Pill has caused all sorts of clot issues in women, not to mention the IUD. ABC is also a major factor in adulteries and divorce as well as more abortions than prior to contraception and the legalization of it. 
You really think that our understanding of our sexuality is better than in the past? That's naive. Our views are not based on reality any more, but on fantasy. Following the "world" is not wisdom.
