DA. Hmm, this is actually an interesting comment. I don't think of myself as asexual per se, but it's the closest label that fits. Probably low libido would be more accurate. And yet, there is this pervasive societal attitude (outside of fandom, anyway) that if you're NOT having sex, then you're not fully experiencing life and there's something wrong with you. So it was kind of a relief to find out that asexuality was enough of a thing that there was a label for it.

I believe you're correct, though, that the trend of overt sexualization is relatively recent. And it's an interesting inverse of the past. Nowadays, there is an expectation that everyone is having sex, and there's something mentally/physically wrong with you if you're not. In the past, the expectation was that you were chaste (unless properly married), and there was something morally wrong with you if you were not.
