The United States has many laws governing sexual behavior more than all the European nations combined. The only legally sanctioned sexual act in the United States is private heterosexual or homosexual intercourse between married adults. Some societies have no words for indecent, obscene, or impure in their vocabularies. The topic of sex is not considered shameful or embarrassing. Boys in Mangia are given sexual instructions and taught sexual techniques and various coital positions, breast stimulations, cunnilingus, and methods displaying ejaculation so their female partners can experience orgasms. The inhabitants of Bali and India have no elaborate practices of seduction. If sex is desired, one needs simply to ask.

Americans are exposed to some form of sexual innuendo about 12 times an hour or every 5 mins.
