I have the impression that there was a lot more pedophilia in previous generations. Like wife beating, people let it be kept within the family. I get the impression there was a lot more child prostitution in the past as well, especially in minority communities. White cops weren't really out to protect non-white children safe. For sure getting your hands any information you might want to get a hold of has never been easier and increased availability of kinkier porn has led people to explore things they never would have without easy access. I don't think we are seeing the crumbling of western society. The easy availability of porn to young boys isn't great for them, we had to work hard to get our hands on one or two dirty mags back in the day and I think that was for the best.
