As always, stay tuned here on !comicstrips@lemmy.world for a slow trickle out of Jucika comics, but if you want to find more, here’s a good post with a large collection that /u/JohnnyEnzyme@piefed.social posted last year: https://piefed.social/post/1258520

Heh. Remember when sexual liberation was a priority goal of modern society?
Jucika remembers.
It still is, unless you’re conservative. They fight long and hard to keep their grindr activity behind closed doors where their wives can’t see them play.
I’ve found the vast majority of even those on the “woke” side of the spectrum to be very conservative when it comes to sexual liberation; and I’ve found we’ve been largely going backwards in terms of sexual liberty across the board for most of my adult life.
And in general, I’ve seen much reporting and media to back up that lived experience. In general, Americans are far less sexual and far less sexually liberated than they were 30 years ago.
I’ve seen a lot to suggest that people are less sexual, but I haven’t seen that people are less sexually liberated. I’m not trying to pick, because it’s very possible, but ime*, the younger you are, the more sexually liberated you are.
What symptoms of reduced sexual liberation have you picked up on?
*My experience with Gen Z is mostly through teaching college students, and I know that’s not necessarily representative of the population as a whole.
Left over puritan nonsense
Most of what I’ve read has focused on increased voluntary isolation related to the internet, social media, and binge streaming. People consume way more media per week on average than they did just 15 years ago, and that’s largely replacing going out and meeting people
I mean it doesn’t help that our society has systematically destroyed third spaces where people could exist freely and socialize with others. Those that do still exist are becoming prohibitively expensive on top of it.
Structurally, we have built a damningly isolated society. So it’s no wonder people are supplementing that lack of social enrichment with media consumption.
It isn’t really a voluntary isolation when you exist in a society that is structured to isolate you from your community.
