Do you feel like the adage "America is prudish" is false?

[Jaysonava]

I feel like America isn't prudish. I am from New Zealand and New Zealanders are much more prudish than Americans. At least in terms of PDA.

I have traveled from California, to New Mexico to Ohio to San Francisco to Florida to New York to Texas over LONG periods of time, and nowhere in America has the culture been even slightly prudish.

And talking openly about intimacy is more strange in New Zealand than it is in USA.

I feel like, when people say 'America is prudish' they are just making a false claim.

Depends on who you compare us to. Compared to China where porn is illegal? No. Compared to the UK where they have shows like Naked Attraction? Sure

[NorthwestRider]

We have Naked and Afraid here in the states

[Ücool]

Yeah which is censored when it airs live. Naked Attraction they show everything

[NorthwestRider]

We are not prudish. Most people have sex here before marriage and we love porn

[Jaysonava]

I know right?

[SarahsSummer]

I've never heard of or considered Americans to be prudish

[Jaysonava]

Too true. They aren't. it's a dated stereotype

[name_is_eric]

America is the home of pornography, they're quite promiscuous.

[MissDawn7961]

I am an American , was born and raised here and we are fine the way we are ! we Americans do not talk about sex for we have morals unlike you and we are blessed by God unlike you

[Jaysonava]

Hahahaha how jingoistic

[40Ninjas]

I am not sure I have never been outside America.
