Just for clarification's sake... the label placed above...
does that imply that US Sex culture is very different from German sex culture?

which of course implies that we need a topic for
The German Sex Culture...(and, this isn't about
the cultures you grow in a lab, is it?)

I seem to be the last to enter this topic. If anyone has been to Southern California lately or has seen how the kids in high school dress now...or what they show on television, there is no doubt that we have a thriving sex culture here. However, that said, movies imported for sale in America from Europe have nudity and explicit sex edited out before sale. It is very bizarre. I have a PAL conversion and the For Sale in America version of the same movie, and it is ludicrous what was considered to lewd for us to see. How you define sex is the crux of the matter. Nudity it isn't, but what IS it in your opinion?

I'm not sure i should be here, but I saw this funny programme on TV last night. It was called 'carry on snogging' (=kissing in Brit English). It was a tongue in cheek exploration of sexuality in Britain using film footage from a series of 'carry on ....' films which are rather smutty and rude but funny (well, the earlier ones were funny then they just got smutty)interspersed with real footage from news programmes. In their heyday the carry on films were forward looking and very risque, but as society caught up the films just parodied what was happening. Eventually they didn't draw the crowds at the box office and lost their appeal. The question was, what else could they have done apart from moving into being porn films. Society has changed so much in the respect of what is and is not acceptable, all the things which made the early carry on films funny, just became commonplace.

Those "Carry on..." films were The Best!! Long ago in a more innocent time they appeared very naughty and I just adored them. This is exactly the place you needed to post those comments. My thoughts, exactly. When sex has been returned to responsible adults (are there any of them left?!) and it is held as a union of two souls rather than alley cats joining and parting in the sqalid night, we just might win this battle with crime and vice. I do not think they are are all that different. Responsibility is the crux of the matter - and maturity.
