| Jan 26, 2012 at 23:36 | comment | added | dmckee --- ex-moderator kitten | just not recorded openly is the point. In the story Superman and Lois are pure, unsullied blossoms. | |
| Jan 26, 2012 at 23:33 | comment | added | Tango | @dmckee: We think things were handled differently, but people are people and things like sex were as much on topic then, just (sometimes) in a veiled way. They just didn't make it into written or recorded sources as much. For example, I was doing research on Colonial Williamsburg, were people think behavior was more Victorian, but I found that near 50% of all marriages were "with child." We're not the first generation to discover sex and we're not the first generation to talk about it and find ways to reference it indirectly. It happened, and it was discussed, just not recorded openly. | |
| Jan 26, 2012 at 23:26 | comment | added | dmckee --- ex-moderator kitten | @Tango, I'm talking about the nominal rules expounded by "polite society" at the time. Certainly real life didn't actually work that way, but it is clean that Lois is a Nice Girl (tm) and Clark Kent is a Gentleman (tm), so how else could it be? | |
| Jan 26, 2012 at 23:23 | comment | added | Tango | @dmckee: But that code of conduct really applied to film more than anything due to the Hayes code - and before that there are many films that show the "code of conduct" was not what people thought. For instance, the early version of "The Maltese Falcon" includes homosexuality (which was dropped in the Bogey version due to the Hayes Code) and Mae West got a way with a lot more before the Hayes Code. | |
| Jan 26, 2012 at 22:26 | comment | added | dmckee --- ex-moderator kitten | Er...consider the public code of conduct from the time of the story's origin. Whatever may have been happening behind closed doors, I think the readers (children, originally) were meant to believe exactly that they were not physically involved. | |
