Colonial vs. Present era
Now here is a subject to discuss, how sex is different
in the colonial times compared to now a days. First the time periods between
these two eras are very dissimilar so many areas to both males and females are
dissimilar as well. One thing I know is the twentieth century has invented
rubber condoms that have a more durable and elastic protector to the male. Back
in colonial times they used chemically treated linen and animal tissue, which
is the bladder and intestines.[1] Another
difference I know is today we have a pill called birth control that prevents a
woman from being pregnant and there is also a patch you can wear that prevents
as well. Back then they did not even know what the word “abortion” means and
they did not have these new inventions. Also, I do believe that the birth rate
was much higher in colonial times then today due to the lack of technology and
improvements. In addition to the health care was not as advanced and they did
not have the tools we have today for the babies’ safety. Furthermore, thinking
back in the colonial times I am sure diseases were worse and the spread of
sexual transmission was accessed easily due to lack of protection. Today people
are a lot cleaner and their personal hygiene is much higher. In colonial times
the fashion mainly consists of big dresses that tried to cover the majority of
females’ body. I also think females are a lot hotter and sexier today and they
have more freedom. One thing that has changed is the choice to wear clothing
that shows more skin and less clothing. Now a day’s people are more open about
the topic of sex and more people are informed. The young age groups are
becoming more aware now, because of the social media. Television, computers,
and phones were not thought of in colonial times, but that’s also not a bad
thing for the colonials. The technology we live in today has a big impact on
the age groups that view inappropriate sits on the internet, and watching
advertisements, or the people that influence you too. A big difference between back
then and now is couples were for absence and chastity in the old days. Now
today the premarital sex rates have gone up and more people are becoming aware
of sex.[2]
