Well, I'm not from a different country than you Gemstone-- so I can't say about other countries views-- but-- I respectfully beg to differ on the idea that the US is conservative on this subject...... my view is that, it is a country that labels women as a "sex thing" first and a human, second. That's why men can go topless here but not women-- IMO. Men aren't "sex things" they are regarded as human only and therefore their bodies aren't considered taboo or evil or sinful. (I think some other countries regard women as human first and then other things after that...... )

I wouldn't be surprised if we, as a country, have more strip clubs, prostitutes/pimps/customers, and more sex offenses committed against women and children than other countries- per capita, so I really don't believe it's because we are, in general, more conservative.... that is my opinion.

In my view it's not the conservativeness, it's the respect for a female human that is a bit lacking.

mandy... oh dear, I hope this all made sense...
