I think statistics show that they seem to have a lot less inhibitions when it comes to sleeping around. Sure, it's down to how statistics are read. But I don't think USA is any more puritan than anywhere else, for a second. It's obviously just something people say, but don't believe in. So there's plenty of hope.

I also think that can be linked to how much of a taboo it is. Things that are taboo are fun because they are taboo. Swedish culture has few, if any sexual taboos any longer. And we have very low numbers of sexually transmitted diseases and pregnancies and such. So, over here we don't fuck because we aren't allowed to. We fuck for other reasons.

Thread derail?
I disagree (thread derail or not. ) I think that the reason the USA leads in teenage pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases is because of the puritan attitudes that deny us the ability to teach the truth about sex and sexuality.

When you lie, whether overtly or by omission, to a kid on one front, they'll never believe you on another.
