How come other counties are more sexed up then UK and America

You can see it in their movies and games. They show more nudity, often putting it in seemingly for the sake of it, in a lot of Spanish, German and Japanese they use a lot more female protagonists in a game. and the game itself seems more of an excuse to put an almost naked girl in, adding some very dubious sounds to her over the course of the action.

It's strange how UK and American both seem to be very lock and key about it all. Can anyone explain why? I may post back later with some examples of things I discovered, keeping it decent of course.

Puritanism.

I had a peak at what Puritanism is, I mean the word pure sticks out in it and gives a hint but I came up with some religious mumbo jumbo, not what I expected. Unless your referring to the meaning of the word itself, which implies a strictness of moral beliefs. It may have something to do with that, as Christianity still has a bit of grip left with it's grubby hands on our countries balls.

There is something different to it however. Ignoring the porn industry for a moment, when we go sexy we tend to do either dress up some pretty woman in tight shorts or stick in the odd wet t-shirt scene. We music videos we will show women dancing in nothing but a crop top, panties and knee high boots, quite often suggestively touching some other girl while the camera flips between shots then zooming in for a close up of the naval area, or we get guys with 6 packs walking topless on the beach. As for video games, a female protagnoist might be made to look appealing, but they keep her decent.

Now for the foreign side of things, they are much more blunt with it. They won't be so subtle, it's more like an artist painting a nude portrait, or perhaps a fetish that's gone wild. I need to clarify this more I think.

We tend to be getting a little more risqué these days, but we are still not unto the same level as them. Some of the stuff they are are very disturbing actually, and I'm not sure if that's my British bloodline kicking in or if some obsessions they have embraced are a little unhealthy.

Most movies have nude women in them. And I don't think our games are edited.

let's see there was this one movie, what's it's called again? oh right, American Pie.

A study done a few years ago showed that people buy far more pornography content in states that tend to vote Republican in Presidential elections.

The problem is repression. When you tell a kid they can't do something, it is the first thing their imagination will run to. The irony is that the more countries like the UK and America hold on to some semblance of puritanical ethos, the more damage that gets done. Whereas the porn industry is a billion dollar profit machine on broken dreams and women with long histories of sexual abuse, nudity in film or television is seen as taboo. This is a shame in my opinion.

I don't think either country is Puritanical. Not even close. LJS9502_basic

Not quite what I was saying. There are simply political forces and a certain zeitgeist with conservative/liberal motivations in both countries that keep these mores alive.

Because we prefer blood and gore on our movie screens. Much more appropriate for the children. Tweetie-Pot

perhaps we are more repressed as a society

UK? You mean the country that created Lara Croft?AirGuitarist87

Lara Croft is amazing.

Eh....there is a difference between a rating code that keeps children from nudity and having a puritanical ethos...your words....that keep adults from it. In the US nudity is not kept from adults and while I'm not from the UK I'd be surprised if they kept it from adults. In fact....I'd wager they don't.LJS9502_basic

Wrong again. In some states they even limit the amount of or ban sex toys that adults can own/use.

...Not too sure about the UK though. But yes, there are laws that prohibit sexuality for adults. (going back to the moral issue, not the movie issue here, though both are entwined)

It seems most have not grasped the full scale of the operation here. I will have to be very blunt with it, but this might have to wait until tomorrow since I will have to use the Internet to goto some dark, seedy places, since I got company at the moment I don't want them getting the wrong idea so I will wait for them to leave.

Watch a documentary called This Film Is Not Yet Rated. You would be surprised how often nudity is censored. It's not full blown Puritanism, but it's interesting nonetheless.

I think it stems more from Victorian era morality, at least on the UK side.

The country I was born in has an extremely lax attitude to nudity, I grew up very comfortable around naked adults. Moved to England in my youth, thought it strange that there was less nudity in the media and you couldn't even go fully nude at the beach, but otherwise quite similar attitudes. Moved to america 4 years ago, would say it probably has the most strict moral attitude towards nudity as any country in the modern world. It's ridiculous, no wonder too many american kids grow up sexually confused weirdos.

Because we are sophisticated. If you want to see sex rent a porno, because we don't want the content of conventional media causing us problems. Such as kids would see these movies and think it's okay to have sex because they see it in a movie. We don't want to pay for their sex relatedmedical bills and other expenses, such as theirchildren. So we discourage them. By the time they are old enough to rent a porno they should be old enough to care for the consequences they come with sex.

Who other than a minor would want to seesex in a regular movie? Older movies did have a lot of sex related gags though. The movie commando comes to mind. When Arnold kicks Cooke through the motel room wall their is a man and a woman having sex on the bed. She jumps up screaming and pivoting so in the background a set of huge boobs are flapping around. :D

Not liking a group does not make one sexually confused. I'm not sure why children need to see naked adults but whatever....LJS9502_basic

For example, our sophisticated movie tastes.

The vast majority of americans are EXTREMELY sexually confused. A country has to be deeply disturbed in it's views of nudity if a thing like 'Girls gone wild' can be a multi-million dollar industry.

The confusion stems from the fact that Americans are unable to seperate nudity from sex. In most other countries in the world, nudity represents innocence, freedom, or purity. In America, it is impossible to use nudity to show these things without giving people a sexual connotation too.

That is was is screwed up. children need to be able to see the bodies of others, understand the simple difference between the sexes that play such an important role in life, and above all not grow up thinking that their own bodies are shameful things that need to be hidden away in fear.
