20th century revealed changes in sexuality
that no floor-length skirt could hide. We

as electricity lit our cities and love lives

of shifting sexual values. |
Thc Century

 Passion's
Coming of Age
11th September @ 9pm
In his 1928
book WHY WE MISBEHAVE, Dr. Samuel Schmalhausen
described a new generation of Americans who
were all too eager to sever ties with their
Victorian predecessors. Goodbye floor-length
dresses, chaperones, and stuffy mores. Hello
petting parties, flappers, and Sigmund Freud!
We'll cover the Roaring '20s, the Great Depression,
and World War II, and see the radical effects
they wrought on how Americans thought about
sex. |

 Make
Love, Not War
18th September @ 9pm
Men and women
who had embraced the carnal liberties during
war returned home to find a breeze wafting
through their bedrooms. We explore the tumultuous
1950s and 1960s, which began with a cold war
and ended with a sexual revolution. In the
1950s, America tried to turn back the sexual
clock, and when Alfred Kinsey revealed that
50% of polled women had sex before marriage,
the Rockefeller Foundation withdrew his funding.
But the arrival of "the pill" in
1960 would change all that. |

The Politics
of Pleasure
25th September
@ 9pm
The 1970s
ushered in a new era of sexual experimentation
unlike anything America had ever seen -
open marriages, swinging, and pornography
were prevalent. But the 1980s signaled a
shift in thinking, with much of the country
suffering a sexual hangover. Herpes helped
fuel a carnal backlash, but soon a more
deadly disease would grab headlines - AIDS.
With the advent of Viagra and President
Clinton's tryst with Monica Lewinsky, the
1990s proved we're a nation of extremes
in sexual expression and repression.
