I am a Brit living in the US for many years. I was too busy working a new business to notice how the Puritan “ethic” still underlay life here. Since now leading a more relaxed life and requiring some companionship it became quite stark! Back in the UK many years ago inBrighton, Sussex we had a great health club in the center of town. Sauna, dip pool, hot tubs, coffee bar, snooker and much more. The first 3 items were mixed “non clothed” just a towel to sit on as in Scandinavia, Germany and other countries. Then trips karate training to Okinawa again hot spring baths mixed no clothes, and exceptionally invigorating massages which are regarded in the USA as criminal. Why? The whole Chinese massage scene is seen as a den of iniquity and trafficking. This is likely due to the activities being illegal. Make something illegal and it attracts crime. In Holland some retirement homes offer to bring in local prostitutes if you so desire on a monthly basis. Intimacy is deemed essential to good physical and mental health! I. Japan your prostate is going to be massaged as a matter of course. Far less troublesome prostates in Japan than the west! So the puritans hate people having a happy time.That is why as an Englishman we waved them goodbye from Plymouth Hoe in 1620 as they sailed away! The taverns and brothels could then reopen safely and the parties resume! Thank you comments welcome as are female invitations too!
