Moral decay
The consequences of sexual promiscuity have been the disintegration of
morality characterised by the tyranny of desire and the triumph of bestiality
over humanity, the loss of sense of chastity and any sense of shyness and
reserve by both men and women giving rise to an internally disturbed society.
In a famous speech in 1962, President Kennedy said that American young
people were loose, indulgent and decadent; six out of seven young men were
not fit to join the army because they were up to their ears in lustfulness.
He warned against the ills of such youth leading the country.
In a book by the Harvard Research Centre director, entitled The Sexual
Revolution, the author firmly states the United States is heading towards
a catastrophic situation of sexual anarchy, akin to that of the Romans
and Greeks. He adds that Americans are beset the by dangers of sexual intemperance
that would overwhelm their culture and all aspects of their life.
While the communists were more reticent on these matters, and general restrictions
existed on media coverage, in 1962, Khrushchev declared that the Soviet
youth had deviated and had been spoilt by luxury. He threatened to open
concentration camps in Siberia to rid the society of the decadent youth
that posed a threat to the future of the Soviet Union.
