A permissive society is a society in which social norms become increasingly liberal, especially with regard to sexual freedom. This usually accompanies a change in what is considered deviant. While typically preserving the rule "do not harm others", a permissive society would have few other moral or legal codes.

The most cited example is the social revolution and sexual revolution of the 1960s.

But what are the results?

The deeper one gets into promiscuity the more shallow the love becomes and if the pool of love is shallow it evaporates. Love quietly leaves by the back door, while up front no one notices because they think they're having so much fun. Hedonism is the philosophy of the permissive generation, who go out for an unforgettable night that in the end they can't remember because a self-indulgent quest for bodily sensation has robbed them of their sense. They quest pleasure and freedom and liberty and find it harder to be happy because they've thrown away the rules that enable people to enjoy the good things in life, like following the rules to enjoy a game.

The modern quest for freedom attempts to throw off the 'shackles' of an older morality only to forge chains to self-bind and rods to self-beat, out of a misplaced sense of liberty which is just a liberty to enslave ourselves. This new morality says "There's nothing wrong except telling me I'm wrong. You can say anything you want, as long as it makes people laugh!"

However, the man who says "I can do whatever I want" will soon find the people, living within the boundaries he stepped out of, have what he wants, but he can no longer have, because he foolishly locked himself out!

"Throw off marriage, throw away being chaste, cast away sobriety, break out and use forbidden language and do forbidden things. We'll call it 'empowerment". What?! The power to be free to get rid of deep love and security and to be more lonely and lost and more rude and crude.​

In truth, maybe we threw away something precious because we thought it was restricting us when all along it was securing us like a wedding band on the hand.

‎When men say they want freedom from law and order, no one is free to walk the streets! The freedom of the permissive society is the freedom of jumping out of an aeroplane without a parachute!

The permissive society has taught generations "It's always been this way, anything else is abnormal." Whereas, the truth is, we're living in the late 20th century's great social experiment gone wrong and no one's interested in examining the results because the kids who experimented on themselves are now the rulers and teachers and parents, self-blinded, leading the next generation, pointing their way with one hand and with the other covering the eyes of the young to their own misdeeds and damage.

The old standards are Christian standards. When a society abandons God's ways for man's ways the results speak for themselves.
