sexual liberation and sexual freedom

谈到性解放就不能不提及美国。美国20世纪60年代提倡“性解放”、“性自由”，成为了一种道德价值观。出现了性放纵的概念，十五六岁的女学生如果还是处女，会遭到耻笑。美国联邦食品药物管理局，让口服避孕药正式上市。间接导致性爱与生殖脱轨，性爱与家庭之间的链条断裂。性爱,不怀孕,不生孩子,不引入家庭的机制，才有真正的“性的解放和自由”。

When it comes to sexual liberation, one cannot fail to mention the United States. In the 1960s, "sexual liberation" and "sexual freedom" and became accepted moral values in the United States. Males and females as young as fifteen or sixteen, were finding themselves being ridiculed if they were still virgins, and for many teenagers, of both sexes, this found expression through unbounded sexual indulgence. It was in the 1960s that the US Food and Drug Administration officially listed oral contraceptives for women, and sexual appetites and mores changed virtually overnight. Indirectly, this led to a detachment of sex from reproduction and family. A love of sex, replaced traditional expressions of love between a husband and wife; sex within or outside marriage no longer meant pregnancy and children, and this in turn helped fuel a breakdown in traditional of family structures, and an unprecedented rise in the rate of divorces.

So were "sexual liberation and sexual freedom" good things or bad? Were they, in the old language of marriage vows, “for better or for worse”?
