More normal… still kinda weird though.
Comment on Why is the approach to nudity and sex in films and tv so vastly different between the US and Europe?

The people who settled America were puritans who were hung up on sex, while Europeans are more normal about it

In a way “kinda weird” is still normal. People in real life are kinda weird, we have different things we like, not just missionary position for the purpose of procreation. There’s collars and vegetables used in non-culinary ways, toe-sucking and fantasies and handcuffs, etc. Normal people often do kinda weird stuff.

True but this is the bad kind of weird in my personal opinion. Much of Europe is still quite puritanical–it’s just by comparison to other places they appear enlightened.

Yeah, but it’s bigger than that. The dutch sent all of their religious extremists here for instance, they rounded them up at church one sunday and herded them onto ships at the point of a bayonet.
A lot of religious crazies came here, and helped convert more weak minded fools while here. Evangelicals being the main problem now.
