    Pleasantville as well. Kids are too insecure to express themselves with the whole world watching, and are more sexually repressed. And that suuuuuuuucks.

        Actually sexual activity among teens and people well into their 20s (Alpha and Zoomers) is down drastically compared to previous generations.

        It’s an oft-cited reason for concern with regard to social alienation and overall loss of community by the social science academies.

        You can have both excessively early sexual exploration and excessive self repression as a product of social media. Just to postulate: at early ages self consciousness hasn’t set in making sexual activity just a thing, and then when the teenage mind forms and self consciousness sets in one sees sexual behavior as childish. It is absolutely possible that what you see and the statistically observed sexual repression of modern youth are a product of the same forces
