Pretty much, they aren't brainwashed with the red anti sex rhetoric. Or the church anti sex rhetoric.
If you pay attention to commericals you'll see sex almost everywhere. There are exceptions such as the Subaru dog commercials which we watch and there's fear and anger promoting political commercials but lust is way up there to get people to buy things.

But you're in California...

Sex shouldn't be a too to get you to part with your money.

Whatever, Americans (most Americans anyway) are pretty uptight about sex. Particularly in the red states and bible belt.

That's the public hypocrisy

By exact age 44, 99% of Americans had had sex, 95% had had sex before marriage, and 85% had married. At that age, 3.3% had abstained until marriage, and 1.3% had neither married nor had sex. Trends in Premarital Sex in the United States, 1954–2003

A Record Number Of Americans, Including Republicans, Now Support Same-Sex Marriage

Also, a loud minority make a lot of noise and browbeat some into doing what the groups want.

Oh the statistics for teen pregnancy, rape, stds etc is very much higher in those hypocritical states.

And they do shout loudest.

Sexual attractiveness also directly controls a persons value. If you are good looking, smooth, young you benefit. In a culture like ours where relationships are not arranged this matters. We identify ourselves with those of similar attractiveness and to products that subconsciously ( I think ) represent our level or group.

No, you don't. Not like other countries. Here you see prudish censors and awkwardness. Australia? They've had a Heineken commercial about sharing with a friend and sharing a friend.

Days and times like this I miss my old back patio at my old house.... patio with a roof over it, with adirondack chairs.... I'd sit there, relax, watch the rain, and drink coffee...or tea...

Its raining and I'm drinking coffee...but my back deck has no roof.....:(

You always have to spoil a good idea with reality.

Buy a tent, set it up on the deck and go inside the tent to relax with your coffee. No ugly views then in fact no view...
