[QUOTE="Bullgrit, post: 6264869, member: 31216"] Do UK politicians occasionally get into trouble for their sex lives? Does the UK have a group that’s against homosexuality? Does the UK have general legal prostitution? Does UK public TV regularly show breast nipples, full frontal nudity, actual sex acts? (Curious: Did the UK release of [i]The Full Monty[/i] actually show the full Monty of the main characters at the end, on stage? The version I saw here in the US did not show it, just their backsides.) The more I sit here and think about it, I keep thinking of more and more examples of public sexuality in the US. There’s sexuality freakin’ everywhere. • comprehensive sex education – Some people don’t want such taught by the government. • topless or nudist beaches and other areas – We got those in plenty in the US. There are at least two nudie clubs in my city that I know of, and I’ve never searched. • the amount of sexual content on freely available television – Lots of sexuality on TV. • legal or decriminalized prostitution – Don’t have this. • attitudes of voters or media regarding the sex lives of politicians – Politicians who are involved in “sex scandals” still often get re-elected, so it doesn’t bother most people. (Also, it’s not about their sex lives, it’s usually about affairs, prostitution, and/or misuse of government resources. But the media can get more attention with “sex” stories.) • pro-gay legislation – “Pro-gay”? Do you actually mean, “non-anti-gay”? • age of sexual consent – 18 isn’t young enough? • controversies regarding topic like abortion, rape, and other issues – That’s not sexuality. • freely available contraception – Contraception is fully available all around. • the need to fetishise, ritualise, or label normal sexual behaviour or culture (your own use of the term "one night stand culture" being an example of that) – I’m part of the married culture, and the parent culture, and Southern culture, the gamer culture, the ENWorld culture, etc. Identifying something as a culture doesn’t mean it’s labeled as out of the normal behavior.
