Example Sentences
- "The deceased, Philip Boyes, was, as you have heard, a writer. He was thirty-six years old, and he had published five novels and a large number of essays and articles. All these literary works were of what is sometimes called an ‘advanced’ type. They preached doctrines which may seem to some of us immoral or seditious, such as atheism, and anarchy, and what is known as free love. His private life appears to have been conducted, for some time at least, in accordance with these doctrines."
- "Joseph’s looks and handsome figure had attracted her attention. Every morning she would beckon: “Come and lie with me, love.” Joseph wanted to resist her til one day she proved too eager. Joseph cried in vain: “Please stop! I don’t believe in free love!”"
- "Sometimes prudish and sometimes outrageous, Marilyn rationalized her behavior through free love ideas."
