Quote by: Mia  This was brought up in another forum, and I contend that it does not. I used the example of Western European nations having more sex in ads and other media than the US, and more relaxed attitudes about sex in general, and they do not have higher incidents of sex crimes.
Someone countered that the laws toward sex crimes are more lenient there too. Age of consent, a difference there would up the number of statutory rape cases.
But crimes like rape - that is defined the same is it not?
So, those of you who live in some other Western Nation with more relaxed attitudes about sex. More sex crimes? Less, the same?
Is your country also more lenient when it comes to defining sex crimes and prosecuting them? |
If the same forien nation is more open also about social sex and allows prositution and if sex is not taboo, then sex crimes would be less. In other words if it was easy to pick up a "one night stand" then fewer men would resort to rape because of the larger supply of women who consent.
Girls that are younger are more apt to consent, but I am not sure if I can support that with any facts.
Also does the other country allow "consent by intimidation" to be legal and not classed as rape? (re - the work place).
And so comparing them with us is too complex.
