Deep Research Prompt
“Create a sexual morality transformation report for the U.S. (1900-2025). Build a legal/policy timeline of key rulings and legislation that removed constraints on sexual behavior. Provide time-series data on non-marital births, cohabitation, age at first marriage, divorce, fertility, and abortion rates, with citations. Add media indicators that show normalization (MPAA ratings trends, explicit content prevalence, industry market size if reliable). Synthesize how the legal shifts, behavioral changes, and cultural signals align across decades. Output includes a metrics table with sources and a narrative analysis with citations.” (source: MASTER_DATASHEET)
