Yes exactly, the youth culture villainizes sex. It's such a norm to crave a romantisized version of relationships and they think that not being sexual makes them morally superior. No. You don't have to crave a romantic relationship or feel ashamed for craving sex especially if it's only with people who you're attracted to.

Our modern porn saturated culture is influencing this; teens no longer get to have their first sexual experiences be awkward private moments with peers and friends, instead kids are being "introduced" to porn at younger and younger ages and the porn is getting exponentially more violent, perverted and brutal. Ofc these young folks villanize sex, their only experience of it has been through violent misogynistic porn-soaked media!! I would too :(

Idk about that. The zoomers I've interacted with seem to be quite interested in sex. They are also often very crass about it. Unless we are talking about a post zoomer trend.
