Where are you from, and what's your cultural background? I'm from Melbourne, and my parents are from Adelaide (possibly the most puritan city in Australia). Not a single person I know would take offense to this. My South African wife's family, however, is a completely different story. Her mother's side (English) would be horrified by this, whereas her dad's side (Afrikaner) wouldn't be upset in the least. Point is, it's geography and upbringing far more than age that predicts puritanism. If anything, the young people from your area are regressing to the global mean.
