There were cheap and ready vaccines for any and all STD's (including AIDS)
And a safe, 100% effective method of contraception was widely available?

I'm not asking if it's possible.

I want people's opinion of the sociological impacts it would have.

Not really no, I think people would get excited and care less, the only thing theyd care about then would be getting someone knocked up, and being caught cheating.

Just because there's no risk involved doesn't mean anyone automatically wants to fuck you.

If theres no risk theres less reasons for you to be turned down though. Bonus for any losers, they have one less excuse to deal with from females.

Is there data that shows that most sexual advances are shot down due to a fear of disease or pregnancy?

If not, I see no reason to think this would change anything other than making the promiscuous more promiscuous. Not exactly a radical social change.

No idea if a database exists. And to be honest i wouldnt really care if it did as it wouldnt affect me that much, I wouldnt make advances to be knocked back, I would only make advances when I know I am getting some.

As far as social changes, who knows if it would change anything [certainly not me], but it may perhaps change the statistics on people going bareback.

I agree with Matt. (Assuming that's Matt, I don't know who anybody is anymore). I don't think it would have any significant effect at all.

People screw because they want to screw, or because they want to have children, or both. That's not going to change anytime soon. Fears of STD's and pregnancy may dissuade a small percentage of sexual encounters that would otherwise happen, but I can't imagine that being more than a drop in the bucket.

I don't buy the whole "the birth control pill changed our society" crap either that the press, particularly womens' magazines, trots out every couple of years. I've seen very little evidence that birth control pills have had any sociological effect at all. The fact that they came out shortly before the sexual revolution of the 60s is probably coincidental, not to mention that the sexual revolution of the 60s wasn't a revolution and didn't even have that much to do with sex.

If anything, the "sexual revolution" was more a rethinking of how we think of sex in the first place.

Not so much having more sex as, it being removed from the list of ultra mega taboo topics.

Has sex ever really been taboo, much less "ultra mega taboo"?

Pornography has existed since the beginning of human civilization. There was a thriving industry in hard core porn films in the early 1900s shortly after the invention of the movie camera. Erotic novels flourished in the Middle Ages in Europe, Asia and the Middle East. Repression of sexual expression is a pretty recent invention, and almost entirely Western-oriented (i.e., in Victorian times in England and in post-WWII USA).

The "sexual revolution" is a chimera in my opinion. It's a cultural construct dreamed up by the baby boomers, who have attempted to rewrite the history of post-WWII America to center primarily on them.

Sex was de-emphasized in popular culture in the 1950s. The "sexual revolution" was nothing more than a part of the swing of the pendulum away from the conservative ideals of the 50s. Somehow, people today got it in their heads that sex has always been treated by dominant culture the way it was in the 1950s in the USA or during Victorian times in Britain. It's simply not true at all.
