‘Necking still applied to action that took place above the neck; petting involved enthusiastic probing, short of intercourse, from the neck down …’
‘Society continued to accept the notion that young men would do all they could to encourage their dates towards intimacy, and it was up to the girl to say no.’
America 1941, Ross Gregory
When your heart goes bumpety-bump
It’s love, love, love.
Popular song, 1940s
