The Sexual Revolution of the 1960s and its Continuing Impact   

The invention of the birth control pill in the early 1960s marked a shift towards sexual openness after the restrictive 1950s. Women embraced sexual autonomy, Hollywood abandoned its censorious Code, and abortion was legalized in 1973. Additionally, LGBTQ liberation began with the Stonewall Inn rebellion in 1969, leading to broader acceptance. Swingers emerged in suburban culture, sexual guides proliferated, and pornography became mainstream. However, by 2023, some of these advancements face challenges, while the Internet continues to reshape relationships, including sexually. This illustrated talk explores the ongoing sexual revolution and the resistance it encounters, highlighting how societal attitudes towards sexual and gender liberation have evolved over time.
