Steven,

If you think sex didn't exist in old post-code (I imagine that is what you
meant by "them days") you are not paying attention.  There was plenty of sex
it was just not thrust (pun intended) into your face at every turn.  It was
subtle, hinted at and given visual and/or verbal euphemisms.

Virtually all cartoons...especially that long ago...specifically omitted any
"anatomical details"...?! S*x didn't exist in movies...filmed or 
drawn...back
in "them days?!" There MAY have been illicit/unofficial "Betty Boop"
films in which s*x was depicted; however AFAIK these were (like
"party records"...?!) undocumented and quite possibly no longer exist?!
