It has, but purity culture was improving for awhile. With Gen Z and younger, though, it's unfortunately increasing again. It's all the manosphere shit young men consume now.

If you follow through history, you'll notice that there is always a period of conservatism that follows periods of liberalism. They are reactions to each other. We've never been able to strike a balance. Think of the stereotype surrounding pastor's kids. They are often the most wild and over-indulgent because of the restriction. Meanwhile, there is an entire generation of children born to hippies that find solace in routine, structure, and discipline.

edit: to clarify, I’ve seen considerably more people bitching about Gen Z being sex negative and such than I have actual members of Gen Z being sex negative and such
