How culturally different is sex where you live?
Random curiosity question.
In the US, most people’s sex lives seem pretty “standardized” — some foreplay, maybe oral, then the usual positions. Nothing particularly ritualized or culturally distinct, just kind of default settings.
For people from other countries:
Does sex feel culturally different where you live, or basically the same?
Not asking for wild stories — more about norms, expectations, and attitudes.
For example:
• Are people more relaxed or more reserved about sex?
• Is foreplay treated differently?
• Are certain things more or less common?
• Any cultural patterns you’ve noticed?
I’m curious how much of what we think of as “normal” is actually just cultural conditioning.
