Question:

How come American audiences seem less comfortable with sex in the movies, then over sea's audiences??

In many foreign films, the sex (and the sexuality) is very explicit, and the nudity can be quite prevalent, yet most European, and other over sea's audiences don't seem to mind, or feel uncomfortable with it. I mean, even a number of there commercials on regular TV, are very sexually charged. But if you screen that same film in the states, so much is made of the sexuality, that many people will walk out of the theater, cause some kind of a social uproar about it, or just not watch it in the first place (just a few examples: Last Tango in Paris, Eyes Wide Shut, etc...there was even some backlash against a pretty tame scene with Kate Winslet in Titanic). Are many (not all) Americans uncomfortable with sexuality in movies?? Do those in others countries see sexuality in a different light then those in the U.S.?? Is it just not so taboo in there culture??

Your thoughts??


Answers:

No question: Sex and sexuality are not as much of a social taboo in Europe as they are in the U.S. One possible explanation is the fact that most Europeans declare themselves as atheists or agnostics but most Americans declare themselves to be Christians (even if they're not really good about obeying The Bible) and as a result Americans think sex belongs behind closed doors, not on the big screen.
