@@Frankygoestohull1 most Irish in my eyes just has weight problem due to food but really still attractive if they just relax on the high dairy and eat plainer healthier stuff like swedes.
"Liberated" is a complex concept, making it difficult to rank. There's the "do we talk about the topic" aspect and also the "what kinds of things are permitted / done / acceptable". Not to mention things like public nudity, sex work legality, etc. Of the represented, I feel like France, Sweden and German aren't really in a sequential line, so much as standing close together in a Venn diagram.
From my point of view the northern people are the most sexually liberated. The French people (together with Italians) seem to talk a lot, the Nordic people just go and do it😁
@@ichbinhier355 italy is under the influnce of the curch too. even if very few people belive now it still some how have a very big voice in the country
Ireland: We're literally told to have a whole champions league squad(have a LOT of kids) France: We have cinema, literature and adult content Portugal: We do it but it's kept private Germany: I mean if you want we could Greece: Yes we do, but with Greek gods Sweden: Actions speak louder than words Spain and Italy: *My time has come*
Definitely the Nordern countries are the most sexually liberated! I am a Southern European but have lived in Germany for some years... the germans and the Swedish have no qualms whatsoever when it comes to the topic of sex. Just as a small example, I have been on first dates and have the guy just nonchalantly ask me "Can I kiss you now?" or " Do you want to have sex with me". I mean they are clueless about romance and small talk... but they have no shame on that topic at all.
@@user-qi8oh2nv9x Depends... I don't like to have men asking me whether I want to sleep with them, in the middle of a conversation that wasn't even flirty. Sometimes its TMI. And gross.You have to learn how to read a room or a person.. Subtlety is also nice.
The Irish woman and the French dude were entertaining af, shoutout to her wearing that Jacksonville Jaguars sweater didn't know anybody outside Florida gave a shit about them.
I think one other reason for the swedes not talking so much about it is because of how normalized it is. Its seen as such a normal thing that people dont think there is so much to discuss about. But idk thats just what ive been thinking
@@Sergio-wn4sp Yeah but sex have been a topic of taboo for most countries while sports have never been a topic of taboo, you can't compare football with sex.
Well Sweden 🇸🇪 is number one without any doubt I mean for them it's more than normal I will put France 🇫🇷 after Germany 🇩🇪 because Germans are like Swedes for the rest it's OK 👍 and I just want to say LOVE YOU IRELAND 🇮🇪
To everyone who keeps putting Italy on the same level as Span and possibly also France: Are you joking??? When I was listening to the Irish girl, I was like, that's pretty much also Italy :D it might be a bit different now with the newer generations, but my generation (I'm 30) didn't grow up with Sex Ed. I mean we had the very odd conversation "little boys have willies (pisellini)", "little girls have flowers (patatine)" and that's it. I could also relate so much to her when she was saying: "I mean people were clearly doing something, but it was mostly 'Praise the lord Jesus' and there you have a full squad of 10" - that was pretty much my grandparents' generations, I still remember them saying things like "we've been blessed with so many children", etc. I think the Catholic Church still plays a major role in all of this to this very day.
20 years old Italian female raised in a catholic environment here. From my experience religion didn't play any role at all😂 rather, society as a whole did, but that is down to personal experience. Anyway I grew up with sex ed😁 the lady that thought us talked about sex as something special and beautiful, no shaming. Althought i must admit that in the family environment it's still taboo (with friends we talk about it a lot, but not the family😅)
35 year old Spaniard here, and I remember them telling us about periods in school after I already had been having my period for over a year. And that was all my sex ed.
Would you want us to tackle this same topic but featuring the whole world? Say AYE! PS I just realized that Lars Von Trier is actually a Danish film director 🇩🇰😂 Sorry, Denmark! Get my book HERE: amzn.to/3xMFpoX
On this matter I think the swedes are categorically the most liberated. Yes,when thinking of people you find sexuality attractive you will naturally be thinking of France long before Sweden but that's a different matter. Actually liberated and comfortable and open with sex is the swedes, hands down.
I'm from Germany and I always view the Scandinavians as the most sexually liberated folks. Especially when it comes to casual sex, women not being slut shamed and stuff like that. I found the Swedish guy's "we don't talk about it" a bit off putting as talking about preferences and boundaries etc. is of course very important but maybe it just didn't come across right.
Depends on what you mean with sexually open. Sure Spanish people can be wild but how open is society to it? At least in Sweden having sex casually on the first date isn't really seen as something weird and the woman won't be shamed for it. Swedes won't really "boast" about it though, it's just something normal.
@@Mrsuperdestroyer that'd not be weird at all either in Spain BUT there are way many people still trying to shame women for that reason, sadly we all live in patriarchal societies
In Greece I think sexual liberation varies according to the environment. If you are closer to church, into artistic circles, in town or in a village etc. So I am not exactly sure about what a general answer would be on that... BUT WHAT I AM SURE OF IS THAT LARS VON TRIER IS DANISH NOT SWEDISH! 😝
Agree, its difficult as each country has a spectrum, more than a stereotype. USA being a great example of this. Still stereotypes are fun when comparing countries.
I'd generally say the further up north you go, the more open and liberated people are about sex. So Sweden first with quite a stretch for me, Germany and France are roughly on the same par, and then Greece, Portugal, and Ireland (exception to the common rule in this geography sense) are roughly on the same par because of the churches still playing a relatively big role in their respective cultures.
I would really rank the Germans with the French here, although for very different reasons. Swedes I have experience with, and I’d say that although they’ll do things fast, they do have misgivings and regrets that the Germans don’t seem to. (“Why didn’t you want to be in a long term relationship with me?” Type of things) French have lots of misgivings sometimes, as well, but their very culture oozes sexuality. So I’d definitely give them top ranking s.
I really liked it except that it wasn't diverse enought. All those countries are more or less open about it.... Greece and Portugal only slightly less so...but slightly.... Ask someone from polan, Serbia, Bosnia, Albania, Ukraine.... Russia and compare them those here
@@pingu6028 Boring, so they don't look for love and find sex on the road, they look for sex and might find love on the road? What about love, values, loyalty, a family, life with all its pressures and the old days? Seems strange to us Hispanic societies.
@@amiquigonzales7917 just gave you the reason(s). Also its obviously an exaggeration - it's not thaaat easy just easier compared to other nations. As a lazy guy who dont wanna waste a lot of time & effort with women just to stand there empty handed more often than not Im a fan. But its on you to decide if its something for you or not. Flirting is mostly cringe for me - I met 1 Girl in my life where flirting actually did something for me - and didnt feel like work or reading a script but came oganically. And while admitting that it's partly my fault it's not the sole reason as most girls cant flirt either.
@@pingu6028 Ohhh, smiling and being nice to other people, genuinely being interested in others, learning something (because we can always learn something from each human being) isn't really in their nature? That's not flirting, that's just socializing. You may find attraction and love in the road, though.
Ofc Swedes will listen if you want to talk about emotions lol. But if you want to act like an immature brat and then call it "passion/emotions" then yea, you won't like Swedes not playing along.
I think it would be more interesting to have two videos: one with only women one with men. In some countries men are much more liberated than women and this reflects the ranking just as much as the nationality
Les hommes grecs sont chaud.Tous mes amis et mon ex petit ami sont comme ça.Ma maman quand elle a été en Grèce dans la famille de mon papa,elle l’a dit aussi.
Having a lot of sex and being sexually liberated aren't the same thing. This is more about how comfortable are people expressing their sexual preferences , desires etc and in Greece it's about in the middle (the man in the video possitioned himself correctly i would think). For men it's generally more acceptable (as long as it's heterosexual discourse) to be more open about sex, for women much less so. It would also depend on what generation you are referring too, how religious was their up bringing etc.
@@manchesterunited4619 As someone who lived in Portugal and England( which as a big Irish population) I can tell you that you chatting nonsense my friend. That's why is important to travel and not listen all the time to Americanised propaganda like in the video above
Swedish by far #1, then Germany, France, Portugal, Greece and Ireland. Although I am not sure with Ireland, ok its catholic but it's in General quite liberal i guessed.
Really depends on the definition. In my experience a lot of French people are more openly talking about sex than their own attraction. Because of all the flirting, the vibe must be right. In their eyes I was giving „signs“ I wasn’t interested. So does all the talking actually lead to sex ? Sometimes
I do think of Scandinavian countries as being relaxed, open and natural about sex but the most sexually liberated? I'm not sure about that. For this group I would pick France for sure. Just think of all the turn of the century erotica in early movies, postcards and ephemera, the openness and nudity in mainstream French cinema, all the naughtiness in their literature, Marquis de Sade, the fact that it's very acceptable for men to have mistresses, the "French" kiss, I could go on and on. However back in antiquity times the Greeks were supposed to very open about sex and also homosexuality.
En Grèce les hommes sont très chaud.Les femmes je ne sais pas,mais j’ai eu une vie sexuelle très active avec mon homme.Il était dépassé,il n’est pas grec mais belge.Mon ex petit ami grec était insatiable.Les hommes de ma famille grec aussi.Ma maman quand elle a été en Grèce elle dit que les hommes sont très ouvert.Elle était gênée car elle était mariée.C’est étrange car nous sommes religieux.Elle est d’origine sicilienne/irlandaise ma maman.
I'm french and don't agree with this rank. Maybe for a few people it's ok but for a woman, to talk about or to to do it can be a shame. And as a trans person I think it's better for me to don't have and don't talk about it.
Irish people haven't had large families since the sixties. It's actually impossible to afford a large family in Ireland these days... If you're a working person anyway...
@@zachzanal1067 oh snap women are fields? No way! And yet here most women are talking and writing as if they were human beings instead 🤣 don’t worry about women who don’t want to be fields, they aren’t looking for men who see them that way anyway. You’re good 👍
Irish people are so chill. They legit don’t have a snobby attitude like the rest of those European countries. She’s representing so well. They just want to vibe and make friendly memories. Love that ❤️
Again generalities, but I would say 🇵🇹🇬🇷🇮🇪🇫🇷🇩🇪🇫🇷🇸🇪. 🇵🇹🇬🇷🇮🇪 are more or less interchangeable, and 🇫🇷 could maybe be ahead of 🇩🇪. 🇸🇪 clear #1. 🇫🇷 exude sexuality more explicitly in words than 🇩🇪🇸🇪, but are not as sexually open overall (despite the actor’s best arguments)
Having lived in France I wouldn’t put them in first position of liberated sexually people in Europe. Talking about sex is real land mine, people get offended very easily there. It’s the very opposite from the Swedish method “it’s only sex, chill don’t freak out”.
Oui.Je suis grecque et pourtant plus ouverte et sexuellement active que mon ex qui est français.Ses amis c’était la même chose.Ça m’étonne que les gens s’imaginent les français très actifs sexuellement.Je vis en Belgique et ici les gens sont plus ouverts sexuellement.
It really depends on your environment. Here you can be either surrounded with the most liberated people or the most conservative. It really varies. I grew up in a very Christian family and went into a Christian all girls school here in Greece and there yes there was a taboo, but I studied theater and ever since, all the people I have met ever and worked with are French or Swedish level of liberated. So it really depends.
@@helgaioannidis9365 do you live in rhodes town? Because popular vacation spots like that usually are very “liberated”😂. I just mean the non touristic, rural and/or inland places of Greece. My family is from west Macedonia region and it’s a world of difference from Athens and some of the Aegean islands .
It's so odd to see that, despite not sharing any kind of historical heritage, Portugal and Ireland are frequently so similar when it comes to certain cultural aspects
@@KimberlyGreen that’s true. As for the majority of European nations. Do you think there’s something else that binds these two cultural identities? Because I often find them in similar standings and not, say, Ireland-Spain for example
@@KimberlyGreen Of course, and to Italy, and to Spain, and to France but the French are special stuff. Really, they are open about it, they talk about it, but when it comes to behaviour, I find that they are kind of conservative because they are not superfriendly and are kind of reserved and n on-talkative. Besides, they are good-mannered respectful people who have a "tu" (friendly "you") and "vous" (respectful "you"). Difficult to engage in multiple very open sexual activites if you are calling the other person "vous" (respectful "you") . Not impossible but difficult.
@@fritobless I found an article on The Irish Times entitled "Tracing our Lisbon lineage". I think it might answer some of your question. Apparently the two countries have had deep interactions for hundreds of years, including 6 Irish-founded colleges on the Iberian peninsula from the 16th century.
I’m German and I think Germany is quite sexually liberated. We’re not the most romantic tbf but we have no problem to openly talk about sex and we are horndogs I think haha. I know that a lot of Germans love outdoor sex
@Yair Evreuklovic muslim men are very sex driven, and there is a lot of gay sex included, they are just ashamed to admit because of islam and toxic gender roles
If I take gay (sex) events as a criterium, then Germany is definitely by far no. 1. The parties they give in especially Berlin are one of its kind and on a very large scale. France would be no.2 Perhaps Sweden is more progressive in general, but it is quite boring for gay people.
@@JC-to5by true, and there are also more conservative parts in Germany. However, a city like Cologne is also quite progressive. I think there's more fluctuation in Germany, but there are a lot of sex events in Germany.
Interesting point of view. I didn't know Sweden could be boring for gay people. I think a society should be seen as a whole so I suppose it's the same scale for straights.
I'll give my opinion on Greece since I'm of Greek origin (even though I grew up in Chile) and I also have lots of Greek friends. It's true that sexual education in the country is not something to be impressed (at school level), and to discuss about sex with your family totally depends on your parents attitude and on how religious and traditional they are. Things also varies from where you are from in Greece. People from villages and small cities tend to be really conservative about it, but it Athens and Thessaloniki they're more liberal. In my personal experience, I have been to discussions about sex with Greeks, where both girls and guys have spoken freely about it and their experiences, without discriminations. To finish, I have to say that I have never met a Greek (girl or guy) who has stayed virgin til marriage.
I have heard that people in the south are more conservative, so probably less open/liberated to talk about sex. But in the city people are more open, but I don't know which italian city comes to mind. Is that kinda true? Are rome, milan etc considered very open?
Depends on the region. I was raised in a catholic environment (north of Italy) and yet it didn't influence me at all. If something, society did. Now I'm in my twenties and i feel like many societal restrictions are gone. (However talking about sex with friends? Yes. With family? ABSOFRICKINLUTELY not🤣)
I think out of all of them Greece is the most conservative, maybe 30 years ago Ireland might be on the top of the list but Ireland has come a long way since then. All of Greece’s bordering countries are much more conservative about sex than Greece is so that might have something to do with why Greece is more conservative about it. Not to mention the Orthodox church is more conservative than other sects of Christianity except for Mormons 🤣 when it comes to sex and I mean the people of that religion not the religion itself.
The younger Greek generation is different though, we are very sexual just not with every single person we meet lol. Church is church, im still going to go out and dress a certain way no matter what my yiayia or mama thinks 😂
I disagree with the notion that orthodox church is more conservative, at least in Greece. I feel like catholic teachings are way more strict, to the point where they reach ridiculusness.
I wouldn't agree. I'm a German living in Greece and I find Greeks being pretty pragmatic and open on many levels in private when it comes to sex, it's just not shown so much in public. The Greek orthodox church is far less restrictive on sex than the catholic church, also because orthodox priests usually are married and have children, so they are well aware that sex isn't only for having babies.
@@whateveryouliketocallme7092 Agreed. Catholic teachings are way more conservative and less forgiving. Greek Orthodox teachings make sense for the most part, Catholics….🤷🏻♀️
Is no one going to mention the fact that Greece is the only country out of these countries that doesn't have legal gay marriage. Surely that has to count for something when talking about sexually 'liberated'. Also it depends where you are in Greece, Athens and Thessaloniki are fairly modernised, but the rest of Greece is pretty conservative, specifically in sexual topics.
@@athina1739 civil unions are legal, but you get less rights compared to a legally married couple, including adoption. Instead of having vows and having a formal recognition, you just sign a piece of paper saying you are a couple.
I live on Rhodes and find things being pretty open. I lived in Rome before moving to Rhodes and wouldn't consider Rome being sexually more open than Rhodes. But probably Rhodes isn't the typical Greek island because we have so much tourism and so many binational families on the islands. Karpathos or Kalymnos are definitely another planet.
How are you wanna make a video like this and not put in Spain?? The Spanish 🇪🇦 are very very sexual people! I think Spain has both things people are and passion and the doing 😉
I don't agree at all, I'm Portuguese and in relation to the older generations yes, they don't talk openly about sex but young people are completely the opposite we are even quite liberal and we are warm people, when I meet foreigners, especially from the north europe these are more embarrassed about sex and relationships
I agree the Portuguese girl is cute but she is not being honest about the fact that the younger Portuguese generation has no problems discussing sex or doing it. The older generations yes but that true all over Europe if not most of the western Christian world.
The sexually repressed religious conservative Ireland is an outdated stereotype, Ireland is up there with the nordic countries in its liberalism, Ireland is one of the youngest populations in Europe
Omg I'm shocked. If France it's a liberated country what about Spain? I've lived in both countries and the difference it's huuuuge. Go to Madrid and you'll see what I'm talking about 😍🌈
@@jdjphotographynl they are probably less open than people from Madrid (it is normal though cause people are always more open in big cities) but in general people from Spain are very open about sexuality, LGTBI, etc.
@@zaydalaoui9397 you just have to think of some examples: where is the biggest pride in Europe? Where are there bigger feminist movements? That is liberated to me, when you can be and talk openly about who you are when it comes to sexuality. Maybe it doesn't mean the same thing to you :)
1- Greece 2 - Portugal 3 - France 4 - Ireland 5 - Sweden 6 - Germany Sex in this context is not about just discursive practices (Almodovar's movies don't make Spanish people sex champions), but as a bio-cultural (and sociological, obviously) approach.
I enjoyed this one too. I think the line-up was correct with one major difference. I think Germany and France should both hold first place together, my experiences with people from both these countries point me to that.
@@tyunpeters3170 I would normally refuse to answer that but you asked and I love this channel and its creator and it is a fair question so here goes the reply. I am half-Polish but almost all of my behavior plus looks and the family are like are German, no offense. I had to wait for months for the "you know when you are dating" a Polish man and a woman. Doing such a video about the Polish would likely result in finding little to no participants because my Polish people are reluctant to discuss why the stereotypes are there, their background and all that. Well, that is unless you get them very drunk, they will tell you then or you will learn everything first hand. I suggest you come to a Polish establishment and get drunk with them, that way you will know everything first hand and have the worst hangover you will have in your entire life the next day unless you're Polish (oh, I suggest you do not try to understand this). I am not trying to be offensive, just stating a fact. Good luck with that. Peace out. Disclaimer: I really want to see a video from this series with Polish participants, do not get me wrong, I just think finding people careless enough to explain how our stereotypes work will be tough, surely it took the channel creator a long time to find a Polish woman and man open enough to present dates, moreover the video was to the point, informative, tongue-in-cheek in my opinion and all. I seriously hope that I will not be banned for this post which I am pretty sure will happen but I wrote this anyway. It's... complicated, I know.

Come on! There are still French people talking about the sexual immorality of Sweden and other Nordic societies. In addition, France lags behind Sweden and Germany in terms of gender equality. The French person in the video is very focused on the specific French community he belongs to, and cannot evaluate his country in general. The order on the basis of sexual liberalism is definitely as follows: 1- Sweden, 2-Germany, 3- France.
I think that line is pretty much correct. I'm surprised though that the Irish think they're the least out of all of them... I would've thought, esp in this day & age that they'd be somewhere in the middle. Clearly I'm wrong. I think that Swedes (or Scandinavians in general), don't talk much, they just do it, not much thinking needed; no inhibitions nor obligations & they feel it's normal for them. It's almost like the vikings with a club; grab a woman, do it... Done. And opinions about this are mutual for both the male & the female. Nothing more to say. The French seem to like to talk about it, openly build up the 'emotions', verbally romanticize about it & then go do it. And even after it's done, there's even more talk & the process is continuous. The Germans, I think, are not that far off from the Scandinavians... They'll do it when they're ready & no need for much talk at all. No need for committment but definitely more emotional about it than the Swedes. Greeks are passionate people... & their sexual drive is so high it's not funny. Traditionally, the girls were taught to hold back, but over the past 60 years or more, this has eased off a lot. It's on their minds all the bloody time, both males & females... & if they get an opportunity to hook up, they will... If their local community is more stringent about this, they'll do it on the quiet anyway. The Portuguese, I think, are what she said. Traditional, on the quiet & if possible. There are definitely expectations within their communities.
Oui c’est vrai je confirme (grecque).J’ai un ex qui est français,et il ne suivait pas mon appétit sexuel.Quand j’aime je suis passionnée et ça me donne envie d’avoir beaucoup de rapports sexuels avec celui que j’aime.Si je n’aime pas,non je n’ai pas envie.

@@Frankygoestohull1 Gay marriage? Good for Portugal gay couples. Good for them. Other than that, I did talk to people that lived there. I watched videos about dating Portuguese girls. I tried to talk and date Portuguese girls. My mind is that they don't date, they want a love story.
As a Spaniard who lived in Ireland for 6 years, I was shocked about how much grasp the Catholic church has in Ireland. In Spain it's baaaad, but Ireland was so much worse.
