dwellings allowed children quite early in their lives to hear and see sexual activity
among adults. Although curtains might isolate the parental bed, all family mem­
bers commonly slept in the same room, especially during winters, where a single
fireplace provided the heat.” John D’Emilio & Estelle B. Freedman, Intimate Mat­

76. “Sexual access to other persons is subject to some limitations in every
known human society. There may possibly be a desire, which cannot always be
gratified, to keep the human body inviolate, to prohibit or prevent intrusion in
times of weakness or great emotional excitement, such as excretion or sexual inter­
course.” B. Moore, Privacy, 13.

or an out-of-wedlock child or that a man was a homosexual or had had an adul­
terous affair could have disastrous consequences. By the 1990s a distinct shift had
obviously occurred. The majority of the population had come to accept the notion
that adults’ private, consensual sexual acts should be left alone”).

lated with impunity.” 4 William Blackstone, Commentaries on the Laws of England
