And then came the war. That certainly raised the pressure from the personal front. It also brought relief for all the Progressives. They had been against war.

Sex, being unrepressed by Progressives, they naturally maintained that they had debunked war and they dismissed it with a laugh. But this war was different. It was present, pressing.
