Sexuality in Europe vs the US

In class we mentioned the differences between Europe and the US when it came to discussing sexuality in any way, and how in Europe it was far more accepted than here. Over the summer I spent five days in Ireland and five days in London, and almost everywhere I went in Ireland they had condom dispensers in the bathrooms which I found very strange. Also it was pointed out to me how in America film is more strictly censored. I was talking about movies with a few friends and remembered spending weeks convincing my dad to take me to see Watchmen when it came out even though it was rated R and I was in middle school. I finally convinced him and he brought me but then had his arm around my shoulders waiting to cover my eyes any time any sort of female nudity came on the screen (I specify female because otherwise I'd have had my eyes covered the whole time because of the glowing blue penis in every other scene) and when I told my friend that he said that that's what's wrong in the US.
