...which followed the so-called age of permissiveness, had produced all kinds of rules and regulations. Necking in public was prohibited throughout Europe and trial marriages were out. All the strip clubs had been closed in 1977, and there were no more shows like Oh! Calcutta! Women's lib had also changed the whole male-female relationship.
