    How old are the people you’re talking about?

    My granddad was too young to fight in world war II.

    Or was there some kind of light German sniper situation I wasn’t aware of?

        My grandfather was born in the 30s and only died like a year or two ago, and I’m on the younger end of his line (my oldest cousin is about to be a grandma, and I’m a millennial).

      To fight in WW2 you would have to be born in the early 1920 (to fight at the start of the war) or the mid 1920s at the latest, so I would say about 100-105 years old or roughly 2 1/2 generations of very late parents (having kids around 40) ago.

    The author of the text makes it sound as if deviant sexual behavior is unique to our era.

    Have you heard of Sade, Sacher-Masoch, the entire Roman Empire, the Greeks? They we’re pretty well versed on the subject.
