34. It's all about politics. Check out pre and post "Code" films.
America pre 1930 quite risque.The sanitized America was created by the Catholic Church, the govt and other groups getting together and deciding this was how we ought to be. In our natural state we were much more earthy.

The battle between how we are and how Organized Religion and the Govt wants us to be continues to this day.

William Blake was one of the first to recognize that Organized Religion and Big Government were conspiring to use sexual repression in order to oppress the masses. By taking a natural bodily function and making it "evil", they made people feel guilty, conflicted, angry---and incraesed their dependence upon the Church-state.

Orwell describes the uses the govt makes of sexual repression quite well in 1984. Naked Lunch is a good source, too. Madison Avenue, an extension of the Govt, continues to exploit sexual repression to sell us a bunch of junk we dont need.
