The USA are really weird in that regard. On the one hand very progressive, but in regards to everything sexual they (as a country/culture) are completely prudish. Why, though? They also like to fuck. Why are they so childish that they can't look at a nipple or even - god forbid - genitals? And, even worse, why can't they even talk/write about it? One of the central things of any living being, and they treat it like a disease that needs to be purged.

Germany is an outlier in the world when it comes to acceptance of nudity in public and in the media.

Sure? I would at least extend that to Europe. The scandinavian countries, France, Spain, ... they are all quite open with nude presentations in media, from what I can tell.

On my first trip to the UK (from good old prudish US of A), I was surprised to have the TV station I was watching change to porn after 9pm. Mostly because it was right after some random sitcom and then bam nudity fires up.

I think it's great and wished that the US wasn't such a bunch of fearful cowards.
