Samples (N=2) of older and samples (N=2) of younger adult respondents, surveyed in 1972 and in 1978 with regard to permissiveness toward specific sexual behaviors, revealed considerable, but not complete, attitudinal similarity between men and women in all groups and increased permissiveness toward nonmarital sexual behaviors among older adults.
