There's no such thing as "more conservative" period, morals simply shift from one place to the other: whenever a society opens up on a certain topic it always does so by automatically repressing another aspect. Look at the ancient Greeks, in many ways they were more open about sexuality than modern Western civilization, yet they'd cringe if they could see what we have become now in the same way we cringe at them.
