  But the US is also weirdly prudish about sex.

    The religious prudes think that any nudity must be sexual. Best to cover up and avoid temptation. They are the hyper sexual ones, in a way.

      Another example is how the think way more about trans-people’s genitals than trans-people do. The most religious areas also consume the most transgender pornography.

        They can’t stop themselves, so instead they want to completely remove the “temptation.”

    That’s actually normal in sexually repressed societies.

    Similar stuff happens in Iran, where young people get down to crazy freaky sex because they’re so sheltered from it in everyday life.

    The more people are told “no,” but the only reasons are religious reasons, the more will rebel against it.

    There’s a state you can own a maximum of 6 sex toys, in law.

    They don’t got their stuff figured out yet.

      That’s Texas for you.

      It’s probably so you can have one toy for every day of the week, except Sunday…

    Only in the official public sphere, off to the side it is very sexualized. Ads and tv shows are full of sexual references. You hit strange limits though like genitalia cannot be shown in movies (not X rated) but you can use a fake penis on men and a merkin on woman which is ok for some bizarre reason. The US forced its prudishness with genitalia on the Japanese after WW2 which is why they pixelate it. It likely has its roots in the US as a mainly evangelical Protestant settled nation vs the more Catholic and reformation Europe. Eastern cultures also have their own rules about nudity and sex but it isn’t seen as inherently sinful.

    That’s only true if you don’t look under the covers.

    Spoilers: there’s a furry orgy hiding beneath.

    I find it really amusing that furries are probably the most unique American subculture, yet we get shunned by most Americans. Go figure lmao.

    Yes. Their idiotic age rules (something about half age plus something, I don’t remember) they spread around on Reddit like it was some kind of gospel really made me question their sanity.
