As a European, I find it strange and amusing that Americans are so afraid of sex.
Here (in Italy, in Spain, in Netherlands, in Sweden) sex is good, normal and nothing of much interest, just a regular part of life.
- microcolonel 11y agoIt's not so much "Americans", as the sniveling snots who write and frequent what remains of the New York Times. They don't seem to understand that some people might in fact enjoy sex, maybe explore variety; and leave judging to the courts. That said, I've heard some rather sad or misleading material come from programmes in essentially every corner of the states. It seems like the sort of thing a publisher could remedy by providing an excellent and scientifically-supported course free of moralization to one or another side of the debates. I grew up in Canada, and had an okay sex ed class. I hear from teachers that things have gotten worse over the last few years, likely owing to to socjus pressure on schools. They are now completely misleading about consent; and seem to easily convince boys that they are not worthy of saying no; and girls that they can lead people along endlessly.
- 0x4a42 11y agosex != porn EDIT: downvoting me for saying that porn is different than sex is like downvoting me if i'd said Hollywood movies are different than reality...
- atemerev 11y agoPorn is also nothing special here.
- 0x4a42 11y agoWhere is "here"?
- nfd 11y agoEurope?
- 0x4a42 11y agoThen I'd like to know in which part of EU "porn is nothing" or whatever is the meaning of this. Because I live in Europe and I don't know any EU states that doesn't tons a laws about pornography.
- atemerev 11y agoAll right, what are the laws in, say, Germany or Spain? Except for some basics like "it's better not to show outright porn on national TV channels, at least before 11PM".
- 0x4a42 11y agoIn Spain, exposing minors (under 18) to porn/violence/gambling/alcool/drugs get you to jail. For Germany you can Google it yourself.
- true_religion 11y agoThat may be true, but in Spain pornography is shown daily after 11pm. Any minor who can stay up late, and has access to a television will see it if they desire. Essentially the same is true in the USA or anywhere in the world, any minor who has unrestricted access to the internet can see pornography.
