Definitely agree that people were just as sexual then as now, and that the strict policing of women's sexuality was a major part of it. Then, as in here in the 50's, young unmarried upper class women's pregnancies were kept secret and the babies adopted out or the parentage denied. Lower class women were simply persecuted.

Porn was available to upper class men though, at least, from what I've read.
