I think we all know what "prudish" means. But the dictionary is oddly unhelpful here:
Main Entry: prude
Pronunciation: 'pr�d
Function: noun
Etymology: French, good woman, prudish woman, short for prudefemme good woman, from Old French prode femme
: a person who is excessively or priggishly attentive to propriety or decorum; especially : a woman who shows or affects extreme modesty
My concept of prudish is someone who is extreme modesty about exposing one's body or talking about sex. If anyone wants to elaborate on the definition, please go ahead.
The poll function only allows 10 options. Use other for other countries and don't rag on me for not including your choice. Frankly, I think we can safely omit countries like Iran as being a bit too obvious, but whatever. |

France is not remotely prudish and an excellent omission by Flummuxt.
How well-travelled are you? |

| Strange voting. I would vote that parts of the US are the most prudish, but overall, not even close. 30 million people live in California. |

It's a very good idea to wear long sleeves at the beach, frankly. Not only does sun exposure prematurely age you, it can cause cancer. |

I dunno, Marco Polo. Ever been there? I have.
(Why does this dude feel like he is an authority on stuff he knows absolutely nothing about? He has already said Korea was his first foreign destination to which he has traveled outside of bum-f#ck, *beep* your cousin, stare at the sun, backwoods Canada (not a slam against Canada, just this guy's admittedly socially-retarded locale of origin).
His posts are starting to bug me because they are always in this same vein. I don't claim to know everything, and I defer to those who know more than me on any given subject.
This clown, however, is an insufferable chooch. I hope he reads this. Unfortunately, after he does, he will probably come back and tell me why I don't understand, and will try to re-educate me based on the knowledge he has gleaned from his log-cabin-based culture.  ) |
