As much as a supposedly Christian nation that America is, she leads the world in sexually deviant crimes...sad!

I wouldn't be surprised if this isn't the result of so many years of people believing that sex was dirty and something that shouldn't be talked about openly. Once that wall of silence was broken through in the 60s a flood of sexuality hit this country like a tidal wave. It make take a generation or two for those waters to recede.

That may be apart of it, but I think it also involves the lack of skin exposure in non-sexual situations. I've seen Europian style commercials (via you tube and simular services) where they openly use nudity is situations where nudity would be expected (as in a shower for a body wash add) which as I'm told would go out on the TV through the free airwaves. In America, every time we see skin through the media, it's almost always in a sexual context. Although that tide is beginning to change with some of the more recent commercials.

I'm not suggesting that we should all dress immodestly, but if the American society would allow skin to be shown outside of a sexual context maybe we as a whole wouldn't have a skin=sex mindset, thereby moving toward a status where we no longer lead the world in deviant sexual crimes. Of course, that's just my opinion and it's not worth the advertised price of 2cents.

Exactly! Nudity is connected to sexuality constantly, rather than portraying it in its natural place in our lives. A perfect example would be showing people getting into a bed while they are naked. The only time we see naked people getting into or out of a bed in movies and tv shows is when they are going to have sex or waking up the next morning after having sex the night before. Therefore, we get the mindset that the only time we take off our clothes and get into bed is when we are going to have sex. That's the wrong mindset to have.
