ORIGINAL: LadyPact quote:
ORIGINAL: leonine "When some people say they hate to think, they really mean it." - Bertrand Russell Considering some of the things that have come across the forums lately, I'm really tempted to steal this for My sig line. I don't blame you Lady P, I noticed that quote myself. I would like to know where Russell said it since I never heard it before and cannot find the source anywhere. I am familiar with this similar quote by him: "Most people would sooner die than think; in fact, they do so." Bertrand Russell I can find this quote on multiple sites, but not the original quote. If leonine could give us the reference I would appreciate it. Sorry for the highjack. As to the question posed in the OP I can say since I knew a licensed sexual educator in the state of California who was working long after the 70's there was still ample ignorance out there. Some of the stories I heard I would not have believed if I had not known the source to be credible. Many of the myths mentioned here were still going strong.
