In 1940, when the Red-Headed Kid is born, sex is a subject that is not discussed. Men who openly want sex are perverts. Woman who like sex are whores and homosexuals are social pariahs. But, beneath the surface things are not what they seem. Kinsey has begun to ask questions that have never before been asked, and, as the fifties commence, the subject begins to come out of the closet. No one is supposed to do it yet, but at least the world is beginning to openly admit it exists. Then, the sixties storm in. Margaret Sanger legitimizes birth control, freeing women from the threat of unwanted pregnancy and all hell breaks loose. Over the following years, the Kid experiences all of the sexual revolution: starting in the 40s, when sex isn't mentioned; through the 50s, when there isn't any; into the 60s and 70s, when it never stops; until the eighties, when it morphs into a fatal disease. The world turns upside down, intercourse is no longer the point. Players direct their sexual energy into elaborate games; enacting detailed erotic scenarios in which the sex goes on forever and pornography sets the standard.
