Summary/Abstract: Rams examines journalistic publications from 1968 until the mid-1970s that respond to the sexual revolution in the West, broadly understood. He proposes that their main goal was to mitigate the influence and revolutionary potential of countercultural movements on young Poles. It was also an attempt to cope with the effects of the transformations that had taken place in Poland in October 1956, which culminated in the events of March 1968.
