Summary

“The more I make love, the more I make revolution.” So went the popular slogan in France at the height of the student revolts in 1968, when radicals also plastered the walls of Paris with signs demanding “Orgasm without Limits.” Or as a West German saying from the era had it, “Pleasure, sex and politics belong together.” It felt as though a new era had dawned. In British feminist Angela Carter's words, looking back on the later 1960s, “Truly it felt like Year One.” In Italy there was a slight time lag. As one commentator put it retrospectively, remembering the year 1975 (in not quite grammatical English): “In my (religious) country we saw sexual revolution only in TV, from U.S.; hippy generation was end in America but was just arrived in Italy!”
