Do you miss the 90's?
It was a simpler time. Lots of good memories. I do miss that era.

I really miss the 1970s before AIDS etc, we never used condoms on dates with lasses then, nor were we expected to

@Dez580 There was still syphilis and gonorrhea, and there was still pregnancy. And in the U.S. it was before Roe v. Wade. Responsible folks still used condoms. "No glove, no love !"

@bijouxbroussard that is true, but amongst the 18-30 age group it was how i described it. What has Roe v Wade got to do with the UK? Plus most were on the pill here in the1970s. Remember too condoms were not so openly sold in supermarkets etc, but mostly at chemists etc or vending machines

@Dez580 That’s why I specified the U.S. because I understand that was my point of reference: abortion wasn’t legal here (it’s since gone back to being illegal in some states). I thought perhaps people were more lax in the UK because abortion was an available option then. Chemical birth control was also less effective than now, with unpleasant side effects.

@bijouxbroussard i understood that, but you were commenting on my answer. No matter, healthy interchanges are always good to share, and thank you for replying agin to me so quickly, much appreciated. Though abortion has never been a form of contraception since the pill was made widely available in the 1960s

@Dez580 Not as a form of contraception, but as a last resort when contraception failed. And the pill of the 1960s and 70s often did.
