(5,106 posts)experiences without being "sluts." In my teenage years in the late fifties until mid sixties, girls were on a very short leash and were not educated about their own sexual urges, despite all the films on physical maturation. There was this impression that good girls needed to draw the line and hold back in a relationship. I f you had a responsible boyfriend, he'd marry you if you got pregnant. Girls who avoided pregnancy but had had sex were tramps. Experiences past high school taught most girls what a "crock" that was. The worst part was how much the boys of that era bought the line. Long story short: guys were always trying, but if they really cared for you, didn't really know if they wanted you to "give in" or not. Afterwards they might lose respect...or maybe not.
