communal sex-relationship between man and woman during their nomadic semi-barbarous state continuing up to 1150 B.C., secondly unlicensed free sex-relationship after they adopted the settled patriarchal family state till Circa 750 B.C., and thirdly sex-freedom under regulated family State till Circa 600 B.C.
When the Aryans and their sụccessors, the Aryo-Europeans, the Aryo-Asians, the Aryo Hittites, the Aryo-Iranians and the Aryo-Brahms, were in the nomadic state; they developed the patriarchal system as the son was of greater importance to daughter for winning wars and subjugating adversaries.
