Chapter 1, Page 3: Sex
When it comes to teen birth rates, look at the 2 graphs below.
(Trends in Teen Pregnancy and Childbearing)
As shown in the infographic, many of the states that have a teen birth rate of 30.0 to 39.9 are actually in THE BIBLE BELT!!! How come such socially conservative places get such high teen birth rates while more socially liberal places such as New Hampshire (my favorite state in the union) has comparatively low teen birth rates?
Despite things such as the social liberalization of sexuality & growth in popularity of pornography, teen birth rates have actually gone DOWN. Also, see Fewer American Teens Are Getting Pregnant, and No One Knows Why, & Teen pregnancy rates level off in Canada, study shows. Likewise, rape has also decreased as accessibility to pornography has increased.
Defending Tucker In Japanese culture, men marry a woman to do the housework, and have a mistress on the side for lust and romance. While a lot of people would not approve of that type of relationship, Japan has a far lower divorce rate than many other wealthy western countries.
I know that Japan is not a European country, but it is worth the mention.
If you think that Amsterdam is wild, you do not know what wild actually is. The !Kung tribe (and some other West African tribes) and Trobriand Islanders are societies where children are not shielded from sex, and even in medieval Europe, sex is semi-public.
Expanding on medieval Europe, at 24:47 in the video Twelve Lies about Reality., "if you look at medieval [European] society, entire families slept naked in the same bed, friends and families often had sex in front of each other, friends would often smell each other's s*** at dinner, people would cut up cooked hogs at the dinner table, people would fart and spit at the dinner table as well while eating with their hands, knights were out taking pleasure in killing their opponents and torture was a public event for the whole family. The middle ages was a society that was fine with humanity's animalistic nature." And it is actually the modern world that is trying to make us as little animal as possible.
And I think that Amsterdam-esque sexual positivity is infinitely better than Northeast Africa where little girls are subjected to Type 3 Female Genital Mutilation, also known as infibulation, where their clitoris and labia minora are cut out and the labia majora is cut and stitched shut, or Afghanistan where little boys are sex slaves to men in a practice called bacha bazi, or "boy play".
