The government censors porn from the internet in a country in Western Europe. Oh wait nvm that isn’t Europe anymore.

I'm from Spain. Zillions of people saw a bare nipple in the New Year's Eve late night show back in the day. That was about 35 years ago. And no one cared.

And yet you still remember it 35 years later.'

In all fairness, it was an exceptionally nice nipple.

Every time a european tells me that they don't care about nudity I always ask them to strip or have their wife/gf lift up her shirt for me. They never do.

it's exhausting listening to Europeans make such a huge deal about how they don't make a big deal about sex.

We don't care on normal contexts, such as advertisements about shampoos with nude women. We have decor too.

but you don't show women's buttholes in advertising, so you draw a line one place; we draw the line another place. .But if you don't care about it and it's no big deal, then why is it such a big deal not to see nipples, it's like you have this need to see women's nipples or there's something wrong. In actuality, I think you have a need to act like and say that you don't think it's a big deal; but the European porn and titillation industry is quite robust, so the prurient interest is there.
