There's a docu called, "communists have better sex", that talks about how in east germany, even though sex was less talked about in the media, and pornography was strictly banned (unlike in west germany, which created a booming porn industry), ppl generally had more sex in the east, women initiated more divorces, and had much richer sex lives.
There's also a lot of statistical trends about how ppl nowadays are having A LOT less sex than they did when they first started doing sex research in the 50s I think.
It has nothing to do with generational puritanical attitudes, or how much sex is represented in the public sphere, and more to do with late stage capitalism removing all our public/community spaces, and encouraging ppl to stay in our little cages at home, venturing out only as a consumer.
