the idea of gay men and lesbian women having sex with each other out of comfort or convenience

This is anecdotal but from what I've read, quaaludes were extremely popular back then, and many people find that they make you insatiably horny and willing to try anything. I can't remember where, but I've definitely read an account by a gay guy who would have sex with his female FWB when, and only when he was under the influence of methaqualone.

I can also imagine that everyone was a lot more sexually open in the 1970s, when it seemed like most STIs were curable with antibiotics.

Dang, now I want to go on the dark web and get some quaaludes.
