That's a great question! I've also wondered about the origins of the term. From what i've gathered, it looks like a complex issue with distinct contributors. Any attribute it to wilhelm reich, a psychoanalyst who wrote extensively about intimate freedom in the early 20th century. Others suggest it was first popularized by the american journalist and sociologist herbert marcuse in the 1950s. What do you all think?
