European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - February 22, 1993, Darmstadt, Hesse                                O of a. Denmark s free-love7 image lingers but the reality is far More subdued byjoe Harnapp the associated press n Denmark a hotbed of sexual revolution the free love generation has settled into family life and the pornography Industry has retreated from the streets. So dramatically have things changed that a museum of erotica opened last year to preserve relics of the 1960s and 1970s, the age of sexual liberation. Denmark legalized pornography in 1969, creating a new Export Industry and held the world s first International sex fair that same year. In 1989, it became the first country to permit marriages of homosexuals. By 1975, there were 75 Heaters showing a rated movies in Copenhagen a City of 1.1 million. The last one closed Early in 1992 and the famous sex District has dwindled to about 15 adults Only stores. Intellectuals who advocated sexual promiscuity a generation ago say Little about it now. Suzanne Brogger 49, a household name 20 years ago for writing about her carnal exploits extols the Joys of monogamy. Brogger said the sexual Volution was a historical necessity that liberated social attitudes but that it is Over for now partly because of aids. Her play after the orgy addresses the new trends.

When foreigners see topless beaches and Parks and explicit Media reports about sex they find it hard to believe much has changed. Berl Kutchinsky a Copenhagen professor and researcher said Danes Are no More sexually freewheeling than other westerners just More open about it. We do not have the double standards we accept the sexual liberality said Kutchinsky who studies the relationship Between crime and sex at the Institute of criminology. Steen Hegeler a psychologist who runs a private sex clinic said danish children learn at Home in schools and even in some churches to be relaxed about sex. For example an unmarried Young couple might spend a night together at the Home of one of their families and without reproach join the parents for breakfast. In Southern Europe the kids Are in the Parks Kutchinsky said. In the United states they have to buy a  the easygoing attitude makes it easier to discuss sex and aids openly. Few Danes blushed when the government had giant condoms painted on the sides of Public buses in a Campaign against acquired immune deficiency syndrome. Some Small religious groups have tried to frighten Danes into celibacy with the threat of aids Kutchinsky said but everybody laughs at that. There has been no change in sexual morality but of course a certain  Karina Banner of the privately owned museum of erotica said there is still a Market for pornographic movies usually on videotape but nothing like in the old Days. When the first sex fair opened in 1969, everyone wanted pornography she said. They could not get enough. Now interest keeps going Down. People want to be More erotic now. The difference is that eroticism has something to do with  permanent exhibits at the museum include photographs of etruscan pottery depicting love goddesses a replica of a room in a turn of the Century danish Brothel and assorted sex paraphernalia.
