It's not the sex that bothers me in American movies and TV; it's the violence.

I think Americans are relatively cautious (compared to Europeans)
about showing their children normal healthy erotic love (aka romantic
kissing), or a naked body, and far less cautious about showing their
children someone hitting, hurting, maiming, or murdering another
human.

& I think that says a lot about us as a cultural group.
