Last June, on the occasion of Quebec’s national holiday, Sexxx Plus presented you with its feature on the sexuality of Quebecers. The team was curious to learn about and discover sexual habits and customs elsewhere in the world, which is why today it is offering you a journey around the globe focused on sexuality and what drives it in different countries around the world. You will discover habits and laws that are sometimes familiar and, at other times, completely new and surprising.
Sex in Sweden
Scandinavian countries are often regarded as being ahead of North Americans in several areas, and as you might have guessed, sex is no exception. In Sweden, homosexuality has been legal for more than 60 years, while sex education has been taught in schools since 1960. It may be surprising that sex toys are available... at the pharmacy.
Sweden remains, even today, a very open-minded society when it comes to sexuality. Indeed, members of the clergy can openly and freely express their homosexuality.
Guilty pleasures in Indonesia
Although a considerable number of men and women say they masturbate in every region of the world, this practice is prohibited in Indonesia. If you wish to indulge in this solitary pleasure, it is best to do so discreetly.
Selective sex in Cambodia
In certain tribes in northeastern Cambodia, the young woman is the one who chooses her future husband. To do so, once she reaches puberty, she will have her parents’ permission to “test” several men from the village... and choose the most skilled as her husband.
Slow sex in India
Tantrism is a widespread practice in India. It calls for a meditation session before joining one’s partner and getting down to business. But even then, you have to be patient in order to slowly build up pleasure and desire. You massage each other, look at each other, and desire each other until you can no longer hold back. Interesting and exciting!
Sex among the English
Although having sex in a car may seem tempting and unusual, make sure to limit this little moment of pleasure to that mode of transportation during your next visit to England. Indeed, in this European country, you are forbidden to have sex on a motorcycle... even a parked one. Unusual!
Hungary in the dark
This is a law that the vast majority of us would probably agree with and follow without any problem! In Budapest, Hungary, you absolutely must turn off the lights before having sex... it’s the law!
Sexuality in Italy
If you travel to Italy and meet an attractive Italian man, don’t be surprised to hear him hurl a few insults when you have sex with him. For some reason that escapes us, approximately 70% of Italian men reportedly use obscene words while having sex. Apparently, every means is good for reaching orgasm...
