Sex in Our Century
In  this classy little site, The Learning Channel explores America's obsession with sex. The timeline of sexual evolution in the 20th century hits all the highlights -- the Kinsey Report in 1948 and the birth-control pill in 1960. It also uncovers some less obvious influences on American sexuality, such as the car in the 1950s and the miniskirt in 1966. For a unique view on how much sex has changed in the U.S., check out the interview with Hugh Hefner. Listen to audio files from the original swingin' bachelor, who was raised in a typical Midwestern Methodist home, yet went on to found Playboy. Don't miss the "sexy facts" popups about chastity belts from medieval days to World War I, the Puritan bundling board, and how the condom got its name. You'll even find amusing accounts of childhood sex education. Finally, take the Are You a Prude? quiz to see if you're easily shocked. Prude or not, we think everyone will like this PG-13 site.
