Chapter 1: Learning from the Past
In the 1960s and 1970s, driven by certain political and ideological movements, the so-called “female sexual revolution” was promoted—especially in the Northern Hemisphere. This cultural transformation brought mass access to contraceptives, women’s integration into the workforce, political participation, and a new paradigm: that women could express their sexuality freely and voluntarily, without needing to marry.
📌 What were the promises of this revolution?
The political goals at that time included:
-
Implementing mandatory sex education in schools, even without parental consent
-
Preventing illegal abortions, teen pregnancies, and forced marriages due to pregnancy
-
Promoting a “free, voluntary, and planned” sex life, supposedly leading to healthy, loving relationships
-
Introducing topics like masturbation, homosexuality, and prevention of sexually transmitted infections STI in school programs
⚠️ But what’s the reality—65 years later?
Today, we can see that many of these promises not only went unfulfilled, but also had the opposite effect:
🔹 Normalization of early sexual activity
In many countries, the concept of “sexual debut” was introduced—teaching that it’s normal to start having sex at age 14.
Marketed as equality, this led to promiscuity, non-committed relationships, and a rise in sexually transmitted infections.
🔹 Failure to reduce abortion
Despite the promise that sex education would reduce abortion, in some countries legal abortions have risen by up to 6%.
Currently, 60% of abortions happen in women under the age of 29.
The most common reasons are:
-
Contraceptive failure
-
Unstable relationship
-
Getting pregnant by the wrong person
🔹 Unforeseen emotional consequences
The belief that sexual freedom would lead to planned, loving relationships turned out to be false.
Today, around 70% of people seeking help from coaches, therapist, psychologists, psychiatrists, or emergency services for depression, anxiety, or suicidal thoughts are women.
Many of them have been emotionally impacted by non-committed relationships, abandonment, and repeated heartbreak.
🧠 Conclusion: The Price of False Promises
Thousands of women were raised to believe, “You sleep with a man, you fall in love, and then you’ll get married.”
But reality shows otherwise.
Temporary relationships in high school or college often end without commitment, leaving behind emotional emptiness, disappointment, and a loss of trust.
All of this has been fueled by ideologies promoting free sexuality without responsibility, ignoring the deep emotional consequences for those who genuinely desire purposeful love and a family.
