Go on, explain why then. Unlike most girls I knew growing up, I had a healthy respect for my body, knew how to make myself orgasm at 11 and didn't think it was a dirty thing to do, and didn't boys for validation/seeking popularity. I've never been ashamed of my body/don't feel uncomfortable being naked, and I always knew that nobody had the right to touch me inappropriately and have felt empowered about my own sexuality. All because of my parents' approach to sex and sexuality. |
Didn't you have that 3some thing that you felt weird about.:p |

That's odd.
I've always wondered about the general mentality of the American people and, excuse me for saying this, but I've always considered American teens to be fairly...liberal and slutty from a sexual point of view. This might be jaded and ignorant on my behalf and truth me told, I don't know any Americans, but there are tons of stories and videos on the internet that prove that American women are an easy catch. Of course, this isn't as simple as 123, and I realize it also has to do with educational / social / economical factors. |
The US is a big place, with all kinds of people, so sure, there are plenty of women who would be easy catches. I am not aware of any studies done on the matter, though.
Even if we grant that young women here are "slutty," this fact would not be incompatible with reticence or shame in their sexual upbringing. Just about any respectable research on the matter will tell you that "abstinence only" sex education, for example, is entirely ineffective at preventing or even delaying premarital sex. Openness in talking about sex in an educational context and openness to having sex are not necessarily correlated at all. If people have more realistic views about the nuances and difficulties that can go along with sex, they may even end up being less likely to take the "devil may care" attitude of someone who is simply ignorant about it (but eager to try the forbidden fruit). |

I never said I felt weird about it. :conf:
I had a foursome years later, and said it wasn't nearly as fun as the threesome...but I never said I felt weird about either experience. I wouldn't have even done either of those things if I had reservations about them to begin with. |

I'm asking this because, per default, European women require quite a bit of work and getting to know before leading anywhere, whereas the media portraits an entirely different picture of American women.
So my question pretty much is: How much truth is there in what the media talks about American women? |
The perception of European women is the exact opposite here in the US. So generally speaking, the same could probably be said of both places.
Presumably, these sorts of rumours are propagated by male tourists who visit far-off lands and return with tales of impossible sexual conquest. Of course, these tales couldn't possibly be verified by anybody. Fancy that. |

Yup. The whole exoticism thing. Ah, to visit those far off lands of libidinous women! |

I understand. Europe is kinda like the USA, but split. The overall mentality on people here varies a lot. However, I didn't expect the teaching of abstinence to play such a major role in the general context of sexual education as you describe it. My impression was that fundamentalist groups that practice such ideologies were in fairly low numbers. |

JBJ gets it, even though I said it completely wrong. Just goes to show how prevalent it is. :p
To clarify: The perception of European women is just how you, Chimney, are describing the perception of American women.
Truth of the matter is that dumb sluts exist pretty much anywhere, but the allure of a nation's actually attractive women to hang out at tourist spots is generally nonexistent. It's how we know that Jay didn't bed a single attractive woman when he lived in Orlando, FL for 3 months. :p |

They have influence far out of proportion to their numbers. And even people whose religious beliefs are not really "fundamentalist" at all tend to sympathize with them on social issues, especially when it concerns sexual mores and the "dangers" of exposing sex to young people. |
