The modern, liberal movement of Enlightenment opposes the concept of sexual repression, inherited from the Church, with the concept of unleashed, sexual expression and sexual liberation. It established a new idea related to the relationship between man and woman, which is limited to masculinity and femininity i.e. confined to sexual relations between them. So the concepts of the Western people about honor, chastity and private intimate relations between the two sexes, were eroded. A sexual culture appeared that promoted eroticism and pornography, reducing women to commodities, whilst adultery and fornication became prevalent amongst men and women in European nations, from the nineteenth century CE, with some exceptions, like Victorian England, as is said. This sexual culture is amongst the manifestations of freedom and so it was not linked with marriage or the intention of child birth to form a family.
