I think it's more that adults sexualizing children wasn't considered a frequent risk, people didn't think anyone they knew would look at babies that way. Gen X parents really shifted a lot in terms of culture in the US, under their generation child sexual abuse cases have dropped significantly, and that's adjusting to unreported numbers.

If this is true, that's really impressive. I've heard how insanely widespread all kinds of abuse used to be through history, often even openly. But if the culture shift was really as sharp as this seems to suggest, I'd be worried it could go almost just as fast back in the other direction.
