I'm not even sure that much is really true. At least not to the extend you might think. They were probably a lot more open about it with their peers than they were with you. Just like the people here probably wouldn't be as open about it with their children as they are here.
This doesn't really hold up as sex positivity and openness has shifted significantly in recent decades. Yes, people are more open about it with their peers than cross-generationally, however, at the societal level, it is absolutely objectively true that current generations are more open than previous ones (irrespective of current rates of sex by generation).
I think the current generation is a little less open about it than the past couple - Millennials and Gen Xers.
We had glam metal, gangsta rap, worldwide porn etc. Nowadays teenagers kind of cringe when there's a sex scene in a movie. The opposite was true when we were kids.

People act like eating ass is a new thing but that's only because we're far more open about sex than our elders
Plenty of what they did in private was just as raunchy as what people do today
