There is prominent nodes of reference to main original masterpiece of vision, and main rational premise of thought in Aesthetics, and Practicality theory.

Although, they don't exactly have a synonymous definition. Sensual pleasure is about 5 main senses to people. Hedonism is about maximizing pleasure, and ambition in getting all types of pleasure, including to Intellectual, Memories, Travel, School & Work Employment Economic Wealth, and Personal Successful Accomplishments versions of pleasure. Temperance and Asceticism are an opposing element to Sensual Feelings, and Hedonism. Temperance is about moderation or self-restraint in types of pleasure. Asceticism is about severe self-discipline and avoidance towards self-indulgence.

Countries representing main trends towards Sensual Pleasure, and Hedonism include France, Spain, Italy, Netherlands, Czech Republic, Thailand, Malaysia, Morocco, USA, and India.

Nations showing main tendencies towards Temperance, and Asceticism include Japan, Estonia, Ireland, New Zealand, Ethiopia, Nigeria, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Belarus, and Kazakhstan.

Easily:
More religious - more ascetic.
Less religious - more hedonist.
All (at least, major) religions are ascetic by their very nature.

I'd make the same claim as far as Ireland. Temperance and asceticism are definitely not the words I would use.

the so called "country of love" France people have a a 1st sexual experience average at 18, 5 years , even worse than the UK with 18, 3 years. I'm not surprised, though.

Obviously countries with large proportions of young people - Philippines, Indonesia, Brazil, India - though this is not always captured in surveys and stats since it is not practiced outwardly. Be careful though. With higher levels of hedonism comes STD.

How's such matter a subject of value judgement? How's having sex for the first time in the age of 18.5 'worse' than 18.3?

America is definitely in the hedonism category. All over the world the American lifestyle is associated with acquiring stuff, stuff and more stuff.

Much of America is actually sexually repressed many people are brought up to associate casual sex with feelings of guilt.

Maybe they compensate for it by concentrating on acquiring stuff instead. Even the humble single Christian folks I visited in the US were driving big gas-guzzling SUVs.
