Not having been to Europe, I’m limited to what I’ve read and seen in the media.

My understanding is that nudity is widespread in commercial television, newspapers, etc. Is this inaccurate?

According to this tabulation, the US is pretty far down the list for cohabitation rates. This seems to me a pretty good indicator of the extent to which the Sexual Revolution has been accepted by society.

Certainly most European countries have had their birthrates fall off a cliff, which I consider another pretty good indicator. Though much of the higher American birthrate is among depressed minorities.

I’m certainly willing to consider your opinion, but I’d like to hear why you think Europe (by which we usually mean Western Europe) hasn’t had their morality deteriorate even farther than ours.

I’ve been to Europe repeatedly. Compared to them we are a bunch of prudes.

Yes. The U.S. is rather conservative in it’s sexual mores as compared to most of Europe. Nudity on billboards is fairly common.

I would also hasten to add that western Europe is dying out.
