Unlike the enlightened French, Americans are prudes, hung-up about sex and unduly influenced by religious ideology. Religious groups interfere in the public square, getting in the way of open, rational talk about sex. This is what I am told incessantly in the French media and by my French friends.
And rightly so. Yesterday, for example, a sex shop was fined by a court and will be soon closed. A petition had been started by a Catholic group that was concerned that the sex-shop was too close to a school. The court agreed, citing a 2007 law in protection of the family.
Oh, wait...that didn't happen in the U.S.
That happened in Paris yesterday.
