If you ever travel across the pond, you might notice the strong presence of sex shops and porn stores. They aren’t discreet about it either, they are blatantly obvious what’s inside.
In the USA and even Canada, sex shops are disguised as “love shops” and “passion parties”. Why is that?
As Americans, we are very behind on your sexual position, no pun intended! The British and all Europeans for that matter are not as squeamish about sex as we are. They can explore their bodies and they are not as high-strung and prudish as North Americans. Why is that? Sex is taught to be wrong and the crush teaches that masturbation is bad, but Europeans are religious too but they don’t have the inhibitions about sex that we do.
I’ve traveled to Europe and have seen sex shops on main streets with big bright signs. They are located on main streets and in plain view. Do the residents of these cities feel scared about walking it not he shops? I sat and watched at a coffee house across the street from a porn shop and watched the people come and go. I was surprised to see that some people were hesitant to walk in, they would dash quickly in and peek out the door before leaving. Others did not have a problem at all and walked in like it was a grocery store. It did not seem to be sex everywhere that I thought it would be, but obviously the people were not that scared because the sex shop was on a main busy street.
I don’t think that sex toys are illegal anywhere in Europe and I know that certain states have outlawed sex toys and “pleasure devices”, even male strippers are not allowed to thrust their pelvises because tuning on female patrons is illegal yet in these some states, it’s legal to have guns, but not vibrators. But that’s another topic all together!
It’s amazing to see the British gladly get their sex toys and pleasure themselves. Even tough they are know for not being the most beautiful people in the world, they do not have the body hang ups that Americans have. They are more confident in their appearance. In the end, I think that we have allot to learn from our neighbors across the pond. After all, the most Europeans walk around with unshaven armpits and they are not afraid to go topless, no matter what their body shape is. In the end, the moral of this story is that us Americans and eve the Canadians up north must learn to be more confident and less inhibited.
