I will use parts of this wth my A-level students whe teaching A-level sexual ethics. Thankyou - informative. I have taught for many years and have seen the changes in the attitudes towards sexuality amongst the young people I teach.Many aspects of sexuality once considered controversial are no longer seen as such. I have to work hard to present alternative viewpoints to challenge the overwhelming orthodoxy that every thing is permitted as long as consent is given. This may be a legal view (in most cases) but ignores ethics entirely and exposes a concerning naivety about unintended consequences and human nature. I am often very concerned for safeguarding and also that young women in particular are not coerced into unwanted sexual behaviour. Where there has been no liberalisation of attitudes is towards adultery - if anything attitudes have hardened. There is little or no possibilite route to forgiveness and recociliation. Clearly the past was often cripplingly repressive but the unintended consequences of complete permissiveness, have yet to be fully recognised.
