West Germans join Sexual Revolution survey
Stern magazine reports a 1978 Allensbach survey of 1,600 West Germans showing dramatic shifts in sexual behavior. Extramarital sex rose for men to 24 percent from 3 percent since 1963, and among women to 9 percent, triple the earlier rate. Virginity declines and early sexual experience rise, with 30 percent under 17 admitting sex by 1978. Marriage appeal drops as women gain independence and control over fertility and careers.
