Sexual Repression in the U.S.

Why are we offended by sex on television and Europeans are not? Why are topless beaches in France, simply called 'the beach', but are called something teetering on pornographic in the United States? In this episode, Jon and Josh discuss puritanical views in the U.S. and contrast them to views on sex abroad. All cultures have taboos and sexual fantasies, but are they any different than what's thought of in the U.S.? Do we behave differently in bed than our neighbors or foreign nations? We'll discuss how and why we became a culture that sees sexual activity through such a narrow lens.
