Chuang notes that sexual liberation completely transformed American society. From one marriage per person, it became a society of multiple marriages, where those shacking up together or divorced endure less pressures and kids can live happily with a parent, a step parent, step-siblings and half-siblings. "It may be that the single husband and wife structure will still be the mainstream, but can society tolerate other possibilities?"
誠如莊慧秋所說，美國社會在經過性解放後，婚姻、家庭、男女關係的形態已經轉變，從一生一婚到一生多婚，同居、離婚的社會壓力減低，同父異母或同母異父的孩子可以一家共處… …，「或許一夫一妻制仍然是未來男女關係主流，但社會是不是容許其他的可能性？」
