I forget both the author's name and his exact quote, but to paraphrase: As liberty shrinks, sexual permissiveness tends to increase by way of compensation. The assaults on our liberty are severe, and so the promotion of libertine behavior is strident.
I don't know the author's name either, but it's a fairly common sentiment among analysts of decline. Sexual permissiveness suggests a weakening in just those conservative sentiments that help keep society together. We would expect such behavior to go hand in hand with other dysfunctional types of behavior, which will then be weaponized by elites to gain power at the expense of liberty.
