There's actually one really interesting point in here: Zoomers are incredibly "puritanical" and anti-sex. It seems extremely weird that one of the most liberal generations ever is so sex negative.

I don't think that was the point of the article. The point of the article was that they are against sex on camera unless there is a good reason for it. The article tried to explain it with feminism, which could be a cause.

I don't buy this. A gen-X friend returned to college to change careers, and if anything sex and sexuality are much more present than when he was at the same school 20+ years ago.

It might depend on the country. I find them way more liberals than my generation. I mean, maybe there is more backroom in nightclub now than 10 years ago (or less?), but i've witnessed more public sex people in 2017-2019 than i ever did before. We might need data on this. Also, i have the impression that my generation restarted the "menage a trois" that i thought disapeared in the late 70s, but that might be because i became close to a LGBTQ+ community in my mid-20s that was way less impressed by sex than i was.

Any data to back up the claim about zoomers?

I am a zoomer and none of the people around my age I know are anti-sex. If anything, we are all for (safe) sex without the constraints of social pressure/puritan morality.

It’s a twitter thing, which probably points to sec negative zoom era being more vocal perhaps.
