Whenever my wife and I take a day trip into NYC we like to head into the VIctoria's Secret flagship store to take a look around. It's funny how being in that store reminds you so much about how different our culture is when it comes to sex and sexuality.

There's always families from other countries in there shopping with their kids. Mom's looking at bras and panties with their son right next to them. The other day I saw a family and the mom and her daughter were browsing through panties while the brother and dad were right with them looking on. It's just crazy how different we are when it comes to that stuff.

Which countries?


Not quite sure exactly as I can't always tell from the language they are speaking. It does seem like people from some European countries though if I had to take an educated guess.

Western Europe (excluding the UK) has a generally positive vibe to sex and sexuality and nudity. It always amazes me how we live in a culture that will obscure some nipples on a piece of renaissance art but will show a citizen getting shot - all on the same news channel.

Yep it's pretty crazy. I just got a good laugh at it over the weekend at the store. The mom went and held a pair of sexy panties to her daughter's waist to take a look at how they look on her and there's her brother standing looking on. Good luck finding a family in our culture that would do that.

As much as I hate to admit it, I would be terribly uncomfortable in such a situation.

I don't even like going to Victoria's Secret unless my fiance insists..

I would have been terribly uncomfortable too. It's simply how we are brought up in our culture. I used to be a bit embarrassed going into Victoria's Secret but now I don't care at all going in with my wife. We have a fun time looking at stuff and me telling her all the stuff I want her to get.

Yeah stuff like that isn't a big deal in Europe at all

When I went snowboarding in Austria the spa was unisex and people walked around naked

The root of this is the fact that violence can be fake but nudity is always nudity. If it looks like nudity, it is. There's much more separation from reality when viewing fake violence and so it doesn't spark as much of a reaction in our brains.

Funny considering the nudity in this case was an artistic depiction of nudity whereas the violence is a real person actually dying on camera.
