It might be true, as a European I was surprised when I learned that you have adult magazines in the US dedicated to woman breasts. It's just not a big deal here.

Forbidden fruit and all :)

That's a stretch.

Europeans fetishize what they can't have as much as anyone else. It doesn't always result in censorship to amplify the coveting.

The outcomes are just as often built on deep patriarchal control and objectification as anywhere else. I just like that across Europe you can get all of your carnal desires fulfilled in a regulated environment, or various levels of regulation, whatever you are feeling at the time.

In Germany there's also the Playboy and other magazines, dedicated to female bodies. Come on, it's not like in Europe we are also full-on contrary of the US.
