I think there is a difference between talking about sex and feeling the need to put in the the public spotlight. I am a conservative and I enjoy sex with my husband VERY, VERY much I just don't see the need to have every person know or see what we do.
The left willnot be happy until they are rutting in the streets like dogs in heat.
Just because we don't have pictures of naked women's breasts plastered all over the TV, magazines, and buildings like Europe doesn't mean that Americans are sexually repressed, it just mean that we have taste and aren't as obsessed with sex as you are. I think that's a good thing.
By the way, why aren't rape and pedophilia considered crimes in Europe? Is that a good thing in your part of the world?

The politicians pander to those who favor "abstinence only" sex education and the FCC makes a big deal out of a wardrobe malfunction that most viewers missed. I don't necessarily blame it all on the religious right. News coverage is always about the negative aspects, rape, pedophilia, child pornography, STD's. When I was young the worst consequence was pregnancy, and at least you got a baby out of that!
Out of a number of developed countries I've been to on several continents, I notice that the US is quite unique in that it is a very sexually repressed country. I mean, people are not comfortable with the subject of sexuality and the role it plays as an integral aspect and necessity of life.
Why is this?
I'm sure we all don't want to be sexually repressed. I personally wouldn't mind walking around naked. It's refreshing.
There's just so many johnny-tightwad's out there who are so against the subject being expressed openly. It's sad.
