I would imagine Jesus had something to do with it.
moral standards and family values, they have shaped what has become social standards people live by.
Coming from a different place what I have noticed over the years is that Most people are fine talking or expressing sexuality indivually, but when it comes to addressing en masse it it turns in to rhetoric and safety speech.
That's the first thing I noticed when I lived in Europe. I also noticed some European television (mainly French) have no filters when it comes to nudity/sex.
Someone mentioned, on another forum how backwards they think America is. In Europe, they say nudity and sex is fine on tv, and that violence is what they're sensitive with. In America, the violence is ok, but nudity + sex is more taboo.

Yup, our priorities are whack. 70 billion on college education for everyone = crazy, 2000 billion on leveling a country that is no threat to us = totally cool, 'Merica!
