Current research and data suggests that there is a shift in society's attitudes towards sexual issues, including  same sex partners, premarital sex and the number of sexual partners.   The research indicates that this shift is more tolerant and accepting of these issues. 

Researchers are looking at the reasons behind these shifts in attitudes.   Is it a generational shift in attitude?  Younger people more accepting? Older generations who might have condemned these issues are dying off?  Or perhaps cultural products such as music, TV, and movies provide a picture of increased sexual permissiveness in recent years.   Then again, are sexual behavior and attitudes really that different now than they once were and we are more aware of it?

Using the information from your textbook, and your own research, why do think there is a shift in attitude towards sexual issues.  I've attached a few articles to get you started.
