free love?

I see this on a female's T-shirt with a bird (like dove or pigeon) as background. So can you tell me what's this phrase mean? Does this phrase have other meanings when leaving the background? Thanks.

All I know is it's a rather romantic name for the idea of having *** outside of marriage. Quite a lot of it, I believe. org/wiki/Free_love article, the term dates as far back as the 19th century.

The symbol and the expression was used a lot during the 60's era of flower power and the hippie movement. This was a time of sexual revolution for women because new forms of contraception supposedly freed them from the fear of unwanted pregnancies - so 'free love'.

I always advise my young students and their parents to be very careful of buying T-shirts with slogans in English whi
