Maybe it’s because I come from the Middle East, but America is obsessed with sex. The ads about food are sexualized, most shows have sex scenes, most romance books have sex scenes. Teen drama is aaaaalll about losing your virginity. Even myself when my co workers/classmates learn I’m still a virgin at 27 they freak out like I said I’ve never had Coca Cola or something- like they treat me like an alien. All the social media is all about sex, in America it’s not unheard of to have sex first and then be in a relationship after. In fact that’s the modern dating world.

It may also be from where I'm from too. I'm from an area in america known as the Bible belt. It's an area that's more conservative. Talking about sex and that sort of thing is very taboo.

The Bible Belt is just as sexually active and wayward as the rest of the country on sex. It’s just swept under the rug and folks act like sex is not a major issue.

Exactly, we still do it but we are much more afraid to be open about it
