So, there's a few angles here.
To add initial context, I'm referring to the general tendency of younger people to have less interest in sex (statistically) than previous generations.
Firstly, you're starting with adult concerns rather than teen actualities - these typically lag reality (parents concerns about things their kids do come through a lens tuned based on the culture norms they grew up with). Sure, the comic questions are adult concerns, but the answers purport to address reality - it's the latter that seems dated.
Secondly, there's also sub-trends in certain areas of the US of increased subscription to (rather than previous rebellion against) sexually conservative rituals like promise rings. Especially in children of relatively more liberal parents. So, these being prevalent don't necessarily speak to concern for increased promiscuity in younger people.
Lastly, I wouldn't rate Disney as a good gauge for young people's genuine tendencies or behaviours. Focus groups aside, the writers aren't young.
> If anything, this maybe dates you more than the comic and your distance from teen experiences
I don't think so.
