A combination of things is far more likely to create widespread sexual aberration.
To start with, in America there are no polite, chaperoned, social events that young people can attend that involve socialization without strong distractions.
When asked when do children socialize, most people respond by saying school, first, then church. But in both of these cases, children are kept very busy doing other things, so their interaction is minimal.
Even if you just put children in a big room together, they would self segregate by gender, so in a chaperoned environment this could not be permitted to any great extent.
One suggestion to achieve socialization sounds almost bizarre, but might be particularly effective, to literally (padded) handcuff or ankle cuff a boy together with a girl for an hour each day for a week, then they switch partners and are handcuffed to other children of the opposite gender. To go to such extreme lengths shows how very important such socialization is to our society.
Familiarity with the other gender in a polite and social way goes quite a way to preventing what Ann Coulter recently proclaimed to be a terrible social blight: single motherhood, which statistically produces anti-social children far more than children from two parent families.
Children raised without gender socialization are terribly vulnerable to false information, intellectually and emotionally. They do not understand the other gender, yet are propagandized into sexuality long before they are ready for it, under the mistaken belief that their peers are far more sexual than they are.
There are many perverse adults more than happy to exploit them for their sexual naivete and innocence. Both commercially and personally, to the point where such abuse is mainstream. Why make a movie where 10 year old children are dating and kissing? 14 year old children are having sex? And in recent years, it has taken a strongly dark turn in Hollywood, with movies about young children who are raped and even murdered.
But this situation, a lack of socialization, has been going on for many years. If you examine the young lives of men who are pathologically sexually aggressive as adults, you will likely find no understanding, or even concern about girls and women other than sex objects.
One thing we did with the Christian student group at my university was take ballroom dancing lessons. It was pretty successful(and educational, how many college kids know how to ballroom dance?). Of course the gender ratio was never even so we’d have to rotate, but that was just an opportunity to get to know even more people, really. We used our organization funds to hire a professional instructor and were given free access to the dance studio on campus.
