Yo...Lesbians were less suspect for several reasons. You could seriously suggest nearly two in three guys had received a blowjob from another guy at least once (Masturbating together wasn't seen as a gay sex act in the 50s. Oral was the wobbler, with academics declaring anal a sine qua non, even as gay culture favored oral.), but women were seen as more pure, even the idea of women desiring men was scandalous.<br /><br />As the late 60s rolled in, you really see the rise of modern heterosexism. This is the era of more frank (hetero)sexuality. Sex, again only between men and women, is seen as an essential part of life, but not much thought is given to consent, and failure to adequately desire the opposite sex is seen as a defect.<br /><br />So, two women could live together and no one bats an eye. Two men live together and everyone just loses their minds.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
