The article attributed this type of thing happening under the guise of "preventing fascism", which is very understandable for post-WW2 Germans. Kentler claimed that fascism was caused by repressed sexual desires. Therefore, de-stigmatizing all forms of sexual desires, even pedophilia, would prevent another Holocaust.
In that sense, this wasn't the result of social structures per se, but unique to that period of German history.
