In an interview, Juan Eslava Galán reflects on the significant improvements in sexual health and freedom in Spain over the last 40 years, highlighting how the country has caught up with its European counterparts in terms of sexual liberation. He notes that after the end of the Franco regime, Spaniards embraced various freedoms, including sexual liberties, experiencing a cultural shift that allowed for more open discussions and acceptance of sexuality. Galán positively emphasizes how citizens have adapted to these changes, moving away from decades of repression characterized by national-catholicism.

Despite the advances, Galán acknowledges the influence of a neoconservative wave that seems to be pushing back against these freedoms. He points out how certain societal groups respond to evolving sexual norms with attempts to impose restrictions, yet he finds humor in the misinformed efforts to abolish prostitution, suggesting a level of absurdity in the debate. He argues that while there may be pockets of resistance, the overall progress made is substantial, and public acceptance of sexual freedoms remains strong.

The interview also touches upon the broader implications of this cultural evolution, noting that while challenges exist, it is essential for society to continue advancing and protecting established freedoms. Galán's insights reflect a broader concern in Spain about potential regressions in social attitudes, yet he remains optimistic about the resilience of progressive values in the face of conservative pressures.
