    Only because we’re still allowing prudish believed to dictate our lives.

    One doesn’t have that go back far in history to find a time when everyone in the family slept in the same bed.

        Both.

        Poor people didn’t have a home with multiple rooms. Children weren’t shielded from the concepts of baby making to the extent that they are today.

        The idea that making a family isn’t family friendly is the result of recent cultural norms that are facilitated by our larger homes, cheaper beds, abundant bedding, whole home heating, etc.
