The questionnaire probed boldly into questions of sex: What did students think about trial marriage, sexual relations, licit and illicit, large families, birth control, proper age for marriage? The investigators explained that "during the last several decades it has become unceasingly apparent that there is something seriously wrong with the traditional system of marriage in this country."
