Jasenka Kodrnja ; Zavod za kulturu SR Hrvatske Zagreb, Trg J. Vlahovića 6

Abstract

Sexual revolution has been comprehended as an essential change in the relationships between sexes. Liberation of »sexual energy« nowadays appears, as a rule, as an antithesis to the previous sexual prohibitions and suppression. Just a mere liberation from the previous prohibitions, accompanied by the intensification of sexuality, the increase of »sexual consumption« as well as joining of the liberated energy to the civil values, has often been wrongly called sexual revolution. A completely new industry has developed on such a form of sexuality and makes efforts to reinforce these processes, in order to make money, of course. The sexual revolution, being just at its beginning, and as such produced and made possible by culturally and materially highly developed society, as a kind of liberation in sexual relationships and their being built on a new basis in the sense of interpersonal friendship, tenderness and egalitarianism, is contribution to the liberation of man.
