Famously unnecessary scene in Star Trek So what is it? We are prudes. No, no, scratch that. We are liberated. No, wait, not that. We view s*x positively. Absolutely not that.

The UK, Canada, and America are not s*x-positive countries, yet the adult industry rakes in billions a year; women often have to position themselves as sexy to sell records or be seductive to further their careers in the film industry.
