Any books explaining why Europeans are so American repressed?

Yes it comes from puritanism, which later became the temperance movements with figures like john harvey kellogg promoting circumcision as a solution. Now in modern times it manifests as politically correct feminism/metooism.
It's more accurate to say this is particular to the northeastern culture of the US, other Americans like those on the west coast were always more libertine.

>>22175384
>The only undersexed people are undersexed people

American culture is centered around niggers. They have holidays for niggers. They killed hundreds of thousands of white men to free niggers. They listen to nigger music. They elect a nigger as their president. They dress and act like niggers. They draw the entirety of their modern culture from niggers. They post sassy gifs about niggers. They watch sportsball in worship of niggers. Their biggest event of the year involves throwing parties in honor of niggers playing sports. They use nigger slang like "bruh" and "thot". When you say "Martin Luther" they're not thinking of the father of protestantism. They're thinking of the nigger. Their cities are completely overrun with niggers. They worship their ZOGbot police force disproportionately filled with niggers and their global police force of soldiers filled with niggers. Their men sit around watching nigger ball while their women sit around watching nigger talk shows. They worship niggers like Muhammad Ali and Michael Jordan and Michael Jackson and the late Eddie Murphy while attacking the whites who actually built their country before niggers took over. Their movies are filled with niggers and their music charts are topped by niggers. They send niggers to the Olympics and celebrate when the niggers win because those niggers are true red blooded american niggers. They watch nigger porn to a point where "BBC" does not make them think of an international media company but about nigger penises instead. They will tell you how much they hate niggers and how the mutt's law meme is a stale joke and they are just pretending to love niggers but the evidence speaks for itself in that America has always been and will be a nation of nigger loving niggers.

I see no evidence of that and that also does not mean Americans are sexually repressed. Jewed Euros see an American that doesnt lust after little girls and get moon pounded by men and they say “He must be repressed!”

We both know your source for this is some random 95IQ anon told you it was true and you believed it without question, so why bother with this farce? Almost no one here feels expected to conform to any sexual mores beyond abstaining from rape and pedophilia, anything else goes as long as it is (ostensibly) harmless.

>>22175546
Northern Europe is just as repressed as the US, and countries like Germany are rife with porn fixation and weird fetishes which you rarely if ever find in less repressed southern Europe. Such things are the symptoms of sexual repression and only serve to confirm it.

>>22175597
A sexually sound person is satisfied completely with regular intercourse. There is no compulsion to go beyond that. It's your unaddressed complexes that lead you to satisfy yourself with the abnormal and extreme porn you fap to every night, you'd be much happier if you sought help for it.

"America", as it was defined at the time, no longer exists. If you're asking
>Any books explaining why Americans were so sexually repressed
Probably the bible I guess, or maybe something on the puritans, anabaptists, or the supporters of Cromwell.

>>22175378
Thread over

>>22175369
Yeah it's just because of the Baptists, Anabaptists, Quakers, Shakers, Mennonites, and indeed Puritans. All of which were German or English protestant movements that began to drop more and more of what they would see as the man made inventions of Christianity (clergy, sacraments, eucharist, confession etc) and each had founding figures and theologians. They all sprang from other protestant though still sacramental churches like Lutherans, Dutch Reformed, Anglican etc.
Now I'm not exactly sure why those movements all decided that extreme sexual control was a part of this ''true christianity" but they did, maybe it's just a symptom of the renewal and fervor of their movement, the early church up to 400 AD had itself many extremists like this, but in the west things began to change with the development of the Latin church.

>>22175647
I think that's his point, that having them means they're not nearly as repressed.

What is more sexually repressed:
>country that has communal saunas
>country that can't have gender neutral bathrooms without threatening another shooting

>>22175615
lmao christcucks are insane

Sexual liberation devolved into a dour marketplace numbers game or intellectualized sex into queer theories about infinite sexualities. I see no explanation for this other than because Americans are retarded and puritanically prude even when they’re being sexually positive. Maybe it really is the Jews, I don’t know.
Only in the US would you ever see something like “asexual aromantics into rough sex.” Maybe some really libertine Europeans are into that too but it’s hard to tell since everything is America now.

>>22175442
Irresistible kek

>>22175378
That doesn't cover it
Yes, it was, 400 years ago. All countries and mores have changed since then.
I remember watching late TV once, there was some shitty slasher movie on, American version
At one point there was just this chainsawed female corpse, but the tits and vagina were censored
Yeah, that's the shocking unsuitable part, not the innards and blood everywhere

>>22175496
oof that sounds kinky

>>22177653
It's pretty obvious. When you see tits and vagina normal people get horny, but when you see innards you don't have violent thoughts unless you're mentally ill.

>>22177499
You said it yourself
>the early church up to 400 AD had itself many extremists like this, but in the west things began to change with the development of the Latin church.

Protestant sola Scriptura shit is literally just throwing out all the European parts of catholicism and going back to complete spiritual semitism. Semites are to my knowledge the only group whose holy books talk about the size of their forefathers penises and have very weird sexually repressed fantasies canonised as part of their religion

>>22177667
If you're watching a cheesy horror movie, I think you're old enough to see tits.
Besides, if you get horny when you see tits on a corpse, that's when you're mentally ill. I wouldn't really have registered them as being there at all if they weren't blurred in the first place, but maybe that's cause euro movies have a lot more commonplace nudity

>>22177678
Pretend nudity is completely different than pretend violence. You can do pretend violence in public, in front of kids, as kids. Why don't they show penetration in movies? Sex effects the mind more than violence. Kids are playing pretend war, but are you saying pretend sex is no different?

>>22177690
Are you american? Not asking as an insult but this would actually be the perfect example.
Movies made here do have penetration, sometimes, maybe not exactly fully frontally filmed.
Take Nymphomaniac or Irreversible as the most common examples.

I personally cannot say pretend sex is more shocking to me than pretend violence, if anything it's the other way around cause sex is just something people do and can talk about it casually with friends. Unlike violence, unless you have a very specific friend group you won't be talking about how you bashed some cunts' head in last night

>>22175369
>Even the "sexually liberated" ones seem to hold the belief that sex is evil
Because ''liberated people'' are inwardly still very Christian. The liberation is just to have little bit of excitement over doing something naughty, but if ''liberated'' person meets a culture or community that is more lax or free on some areas, they run back to safety of Christian sexual morality, while still hating the church.

>>22177698
I know there's movies with penetration. My point is they're not the norm in the same way violence is because it's not the same. So you think kids should have pretend sex? And adults and kids have pretend sex?

>>22177706
I don't think kids should have pretend sex. They don't want to either, because a child doesn't really think of sex as a concept till puberty. Violence on the other hand is a concept for human kids and other mammals, so they do it. Its why kittens and puppies will wrestle with each other for fun but don't fuck each other.
As for adults? Well, I'd say strip clubs and the like are pretend sex.
Sexuality, at least here, isn't a taboo subject

>>22177715
>because a child doesn't really think of sex as a concept till puberty.
That's complete BS.

>>22177723
How do kids think of sex before puberty then? And I mean actually think, because of course any kid who managed to see a biology book or lives in an apartment will know that sex exists but it's not really a part of their psyche

>>22177729
I didn't realize puberty is some magic that confers knowledge of sex on us. How did you even come up with this? Do you think 8 year old girl who hit puberty can consent to sex with an adult?

>>22177733
>>22177706
Are you trying to bait me into saying I'm a pedo or something?
And what does consent have to do with conceptualizing something? I can conceptualize waterboarding and disembowelment, but that doesn't mean I consent to being waterboarded or disembowelled.
>How did you even come up with this?
My own experience, and that of other people that I grew up with, I only started caring about what my cock is and all that when I hit puberty.
Was it different for you? Does scientific literature that isn't written by some jewish homoseuxal say that kids are sexually aware prior to puberty? If so, post it

It's more appropriate to suck a dildo in front of a 13 year old girl than to stab yourself with a retractable plastic knife?

>>22177746
curiosity about your body? yes, I guess
>>22177761
why would you do either of these

>>22177768
It's a hypothetical question. Let's say someone is at their neighbors BBQ, messing around. Which is the less appropriate behavior?

>>22177777
See, this is what sexually repressed behaviour does to you. It makes you start asking hypothetical questions about sucking dildos in front of kids out of nowhere.

As for your hypothetical, I guess stabbing yourself would be more appropriate? Neither is an appropriate thing to do though

>>22177792

>>22177795
>QED
There is no QED, both activities are things you should not do in front of children, for much the same reason: to avoid traumatising them.
Note that you were the one bringing up children the whole thread

>>22177669
I think you're right, a lot of the early martyrs or Saints are pretty insane by modern Catholic standards, castrating themselves, standing atop a pillar for weeks just eating a couple beans a day, there was one female saint who "tamed" her body when she got her first period by fasting, not sleeping and lying in ashes, so she stopped menstruating because she was so unhealthy.

So maybe the protestants really are more old school. But a Catholic would say that development in the church is a good thing, there's an idea that the tradition of the church remains incomplete, not incorrect, but that it has not reached the total truth yet. And essentially the means for that is syncretism, they call several main cities the pillars of the church; Rome, Athens, Jerusalem, Antioch and some others I can't remember. But the point is that each city offered a charism to the church, Rome offered law and order, rigid hierarchy, legality etc. Athens formalized philosophy, logic, metaphysics, Jerusalem emphasised the particular ritual practises and an emphasis on scripture. And I've heard it argued that the Irish or other europeans offered new things as well which developed the church, and that this will continue and the church won't be complete until they incorporate all cultures such the far eastern philosophy, mysticism and mediation and "convert" their practises towards the universal church.
If you can't tell I was raised very tradition catholic but I'm basically an agnostic catholic absurdist now so I don't really care.

I'm pretty sure you can stab yourself with a fake retractable knife and it can be 100% appropriate. Don't be a retard. It's not going to ever be appropriate to suck a dildo in front of 13 year old. My point is fake sex is not the same as fake violence. Fake sex is less appropriate. Do you not see what I'm getting at?

>>22177850
You didn't say it's fake before
And regardless, if you walk up to kids and start pretending to stab yourself there is something pretty wrong with you.

My counterpoint is, outside of stuff involving kids which you so eagerly bring up and try to pin on me, fake sex is not less appropriate than fake violence

>>22177855
I literally said it's a "plastic retractable knife".
>And regardless
I think you might actually be retarded. You really only think that's the only possible scenario a person could pretend to stab themselves?
>outside of stuff involving kids which you so eagerly bring up and try to pin on me, fake sex is not less appropriate than fake violence
You really don't think there's a difference in appropriateness if you were at work and fake shoved a friend versus pretending to have sex with them?

>>22177870
Different anon but you have to try and make both scenarios of equal severity, shoving a friend might be the equivalent of making a sexually charged joke about someone which I think is fine.

>>22177874
You have it wrong. Severity? According to him any acts of violence are worse than sex. Sex is a normal consenting act.

I act normal, I don't feel the need to grind on a friend or shove him at work

I love this thread because someone accused you Americans of being sexually repressed, and you come along and prove exactly how sexually repressed you are by bringing up these kinds of scenarios

>>22177878
>MY BROTHER IN CHRIST YOU ARE THE ONE WHO BROUGHT UP THE SCENARIO WITH KIDS
I said to stop being retarded. I didn't mention going up to children and doing it. You could say "look, I have this retractable knife, see, fake" then stab yourself. I can't believe I have to explain it. You can't even understand hypotheticals.

>>22177885
See: >>22177761
If you meant fake stabbing yourself in general, without kids involved, of course that's better than deepthroating a dildo in front of kids. But then like other anon said, it's a different level of severity

>>22177889
That's not what I said. Please learn to read. When did I mention stabbing yourself in front of multiple children?

>>22177904
I misread, and understood the sentence as suck a dildo in front of kids or stab yourself in front of kids.
Again, if you meant randomly pretending to stab yourself or sucking a dildo in front of kids, obviously the former is more okay, but then the scenarios are of wildly different severity and your question makes no sense whatsoever

>>22177917
So sucking a dick is worse than stabbing yourself? Like I said the point I'm making is that fake sex is different than fake violence.

>>22177927
As a straight male, yes being a faggot (in front of kids especially, as per your argument) is worse than stabbing yourself

>>22177941
with a fake knife**, don't forget

>>22177941
So being a faggot (sexual) should be censored more than stabbing (violence)? Also, vagina is the same severity as exposed innards from a violent act.

>>22177954
Therefore, I agree that vagina should be uncensored when innards are exposed, but vagina shouldn't be shown for movies that have something less severe than innards being exposed.

>>22177954
Yes, but because it is a disgusting fetish on top of being sexual
>>22177957
fair, with this I can agree completely

Read Edmond (1982)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edmond_(play)

Harold Bloom on Infinite Jest: "You know, I don’t want to be offensive. But ‘Infinite Jest’ is just awful. It seems ridiculous to have to say it. He can’t think, he can’t write. There’s no discernible talent...We have no standards left. [Wallace] seems to have been a very sincere and troubled person, but that doesn’t mean I have to endure reading him."

Infinite Jest would be the name for the vacuity inherent in the intellectual products that the salient of the military industrial complex known as the "prestige" publishing houses in the US and UK disseminate or indeed confect, with a gaslighting intent coupled with barely disguised derision for the middling middle classes that stand outside looking in at the likes of the Derridean, Deleuzian, Zizekian, labyrinthine factories of obscurantism, which seem very useful for the preservation of the neoliberal system.

I'd argue Joyce's Ulysses is actually quite antithetic to the mockish/obscurantist ideological function aforesaid because it encapsulates and thus is a boon to actual thought: to a density of thought both qua content and in the architecture that organizes and structures said content. There is no thoughtlessness to the thought that went into the creation of Ulysses: every iota and atom of its composition, of its architecture, is a testament to the linguistic and narrative mastery of its creator. At the risk of waxing overly poetic, the writing in Ulysses is never not beautiful and controlled, constituting a type of empyrean score which can alchemize any aspect of human reality into a sort of music of the spheres, the voice of a god, the genius of the muses. The exaltation of the every day, which is the clay of all glory (every act of writing constitutes the engrafting or recording of a particular human mind, it is its phenomenological score, itself demonstrative of some awareness of this state). The greatest works of literature are obviously neither indoctrinating nor incoherent, least of all mindless, regardless of how ironically self-aware they may pretend to be in this regard. They instead manifest and elevate even the most quotidian phenomenology into an extended instance of human perception's faithful recording of the unity of "external" nature and itself in a language that is simultaneously a faithful ledger of reality as perceived by a particular mind acutely aware of its own self-perception. A ledger expressive of this mirroristic complexity in a manner constitutive of the transformation of prose into a faithful echo of the nature of emotion and the emotion of (human) nature, in ways that may be radically innovative, but are never thoughtless, superfluous, or a consequence of direct neurosis. Rather these represent the supervening of the ugliness or brutishness or incoherence to which all minds are subject, by the transformation of any and all states into something approaching the "music of the spheres," retaining mastery of both "subject and form" to the last.

It's natural in a human way. Sex goes against the sapient spirit of our species. The dichotomy that arises creates this repression in both a social and a personal level, and this isn't just a cultural, atomized monster.
Sex also happens to be a fantastic bargaining tool for social status and sexual repression is seen as the normal because, inwardly, sex is such a huge part of our existences it breeds a whole slew of insecurities, fears and confusion towards it. If you grow up sexually repressed you'll feel inadequate and insecure, if your house is open about sex and you experience it from an early age you'll feel gross and confused, if you get too much you'll begin questioning the why of sex and hear the devil laugh after coitus and damn your nature, if you get too little you'll rip your dick off through masturbation and end up trans, her/they, and part of a growing majority; sex is your identity, sex is your value, sex is your art, sex is your livelihood and your life, sex in modern societies for modern men and women is just another outlet for our psychoses. We never see sex as just a thing, an act, a moment of intimacy or a night of pleasure, or an awkwardly shared second of eternity with the goal of creation. The moment we do the candle's lit out, we need more, this relationship is constraining us, we're choking here, our wings are clipped, we're not sure this is what we need...
And so on.

>>22175369

I just really really really extra fucking super find fat people revolting and would never want to have an encounter with one even for "practice", so. Personally, I don't understand how fat people manage to put up with each other at all as sexual partners. For me, solitude is preferable to a fatty.

I also really really really extra fucking super never ever want to have a kid and I also really really really extra fucking super never ever want a really nasty social disease. I'm not talking about the more treatable/manageable straightoid stuff, I'm referring to HIV/syphilis since I also like the cock and also don't act on that urge either.

>herp derp you just use condoms/birth control you naive incel
True, but my larger point is that nature, uh... finds a way. Nature runs its course, straight people make babies in spite of themselves (or else because they want to follow the evolutionary imperative), and gays poz each other up, despite their best efforts to the contrary. I myself was conceived as a surprise, my understanding is that mom was on the pill around that time and either she missed her dose or (conceivably) intentionally got off the pill and hid it from dad. My mother is a saint and they've been married happily for over 40 years, so I have a very hard time imagining the latter, but it's not impossible.

I just have no interest in most of the departments of life which seem to result from sex, or else I fear them. Particularly given my advanced age and extreme inexperience. I also don't want to go into debt on some house, not even for the purpose of building equity. At the most I would want what is effectively a relationship fuckbuddy with no children and no marriage. Ever. I wouldn't entirely rule out a house but I really despise the idea of debt (women and even men generally want at least one of the three of these things).

You might need help.

It's not just puritans, religion continues to do this shit across the globe. Why the American flavor is so strong compared to the rest of the west might have to do with how Christianity was integrated into our politics. It was no longer about groups speaking up about indecency, it was laws being made and enforced.

Alabama still has laws in place that prohibit the sale of sex toys.
Last time it was challenged in court was 2009, and the Supreme Court of Alabama upheld it.
One of their state reps has brought forth legislation to repeal it a couple times. Gets shot down every time.
Sex toys sold in 'Bama are considered "novelty" or "educational" devices.

I think some younger posters may not realize the amount of people that are still alive and old enough to remember when we stopped charging people for writing literary pornography in the mid 70s. (There was also the attempt in 2008 as well, but we don't talk about that fanfic).

You can tell everyone here is addicted to porn and never had sex because their definition of being sexually liberated is shoving shit up their ass and incest

>>22175369
It's really not complicated. The United States is a more religious country, and most of it is rural. People who live in cities often come from rural backgrounds. In rural areas sexual activity has more word-of-mouth consequences as well as outright violence in cases of cheating and foul behavior.
