Many problems arising from the Summer of Love that originated in Haight-Ashbury, San Francisco, during 1967, have been glossed over, say critics.
There was a price for all that free love. From 1964 through 1968, the rates of syphilis and gonorrhea in California rose 165 percent.
Studies support his assertion. Among women born between between 1933 and 1942, 93 percent had their first union with a man when they married, according to the University of Chicago's landmark 1994 study of American sex by professor of sociology Edward O. Laumann and his colleagues. Among those born between 1963 and 1974, only 36 percent did, meaning that 64 percent formed a non-marital cohabitation unit before marriage.
Though the Summer of Love collapsed on itself by Labor Day of 1967, leaving many damaged people in its wake, its lingering contribution has been the freedom to choose one’s own sexual path through life, with all the possible pitfalls and joys that freedom suggests.

I used to believe you get what you pay for. Now, it seems that you can have free love and not pay for it. If you don't have the money to treat the diseases you incur or to support the children you create, the government will make someone else pay.
