The fact that there has to be class a school to teach basic personal biology tells you that we are still quite puritanical when it come to sex.
It's no surprise to me that at the time of the writing of TKAM the euphemism of "taken advantage of" was used in place of rape. The book most likely would never have been published otherwise.
No doubt. I don't think we'll get past these puritanical ideals (to reiterate your words), until Christianity either evolves significantly or just goes away, which won't be in my lifetime for sure.
Why is it so?
