No analogue today because, now, parents routinely ship their children off to college, where they are encouraged to imbibe of drugs and alcohol and hook up with other students, of the opposite sex or not. And they are trained to such a lifestyle in their formative years, via the public school system. Now, the only forbidden fruit is conservative thought.
