The 1950s Where Sexually Degenerate by Modern Standards
Join Simone and Chance as they delve into the surprising history of sexual norms from the 1920s to the 1950s. They analyze how societal standards have shifted, particularly in terms of public nudity, mutual masturbation among men, and the transition from nudist cultures to more private norms today. The discussion includes various practices such as key parties, public porn viewing, and even sexual behaviors involving animals. Chance and Simone also touch on contemporary issues, such as the impact of the legalization of gay marriage on today's DEI and trans right movements, and how modern technology and societal changes have influenced our views on sex and nudity.
Hello Simone. I'm excited to be here with you today. Today we are gonna be talking about the way that our society used to be. And I don't mean like in Roman or ancient Greece. I'm talking 1950s, 1920s. Much more debauched than it is today. Oh, the areas where sexual norms are tightening rather than loosening.
And we're gonna try to build a model to understand in which areas does sexual norms seem to loosen over time, and in which areas does sexual norms seem to tighten over time? So just to throw you guys in the deep end here, if you're like, wow. Come on. Things couldn't have been that much more sexually loose in like the 1950s.
Well, around that time period, and we'll get to the specifics later in this, around 40% of young men participated in mutual masturbation with other young men. This was normal. If you have four grandparents you're dealing with. What? Like that. Oh, why did you to take it there, chance? One of them did this
given that all of you have four great-grandfathers, that means there is an 87% chance that one of your great-grandfathers participated in something like this.
I am gay.
In today's society, basically, no guy does this.
This is like, no, only for gay guys. Okay.
I don't even know if it's for gay guys. I don't know, man. Well,
and this is something of you're like, wait. Is this continuing to happen? It happened to me when I was going through with an AI asking like, where has sexual norms tightened? Yeah. And it's like, well, of course, a long time ago they used to have public showers in schools for the boys and the girls.
And now it's all private stalls. And I totally
remember in my high school gym, there were, I remember this too. I was like, what? Yeah, they got rid of that. Well, I, we never, one, we all changed for gym class, but we didn't show each other. Like we didn't, we changed very carefully and there were showers and I always wondered why, because we never No, no, no,
no.
I remember when they had that in my school, they had that in every school I ever attended. I never once used a public shower despite it being in every school I ever attended. And the somebody could be like, wait. What it's like because they were already, these norms were already changing within our generation that I knew it was weird to be naked around other boys my age.
And I didn't want to do that even though the facilities were still structured that way. And a lot of the schools that are doing these changes now are saying, well, if we leave them the old ways, no one will use them. Right. And that's
fair because no one used them at my school. It was wasted space.
Yeah. No one used them at my school anymore.
They were from like a previous era where and I've seen shows like apparently this was the thing that happened at one point in human history. And I think that if you were on like maybe the football team or something, there might have been some norms around using them. Like if you got like really sweaty and gross in whatever sport you were doing.
Maybe they used public showers, but even then, I can't imagine they used them in the girls' rooms. Had you, had you ever seen a group of girls using the public showers at the same time?
