Really agree with Aaron above. Its the puritan mentality that pervades our society to this day.
Grew up in the same atmosphere as a kid. Moved at 35 or so to Europe (Germany & Denmark) and spent over 10 years there. People sunbathe in the nude or minimum topless there, and go to sports clubs and swim and sauna nude, men and women together.
No one thinks a thing about it, its just the English and Americans who are prude and cover up. After a while I got used to it and could care less about being nude outside or in a pool/hot tub.
The majority of the Europeans have the same open feeling about sex. While for many in this country its "dirty" and done only in the dark behind a locked door at night, the Europeans for the most part feel that its natural and fun. Personally I like that feeling and have stopped going out with American girls long ago unless they were a bit liberal in this area. Not that I want nor expect to shag everything in sight but sex is not dirty, its a pleasant experience between two adults (in my house at least!) and does not need to be hidden in the bedroom with the lights out.
