If you have Netflix, Christine Amanpour (formerly of the BBC, now of CNN) has a series on sex and love around the world. It’s quite good. The first episode is in Tokyo, in a country were 40% of all marriages are sexless! The series goes on to New Delhi, Beirut, etc. The common theme is that Colonialism and/or orthodox religiosity screwed up cultures that were once hotbeds of sexual freedom. Amazing what happens to cultures when sexuality is repressed. Especially for women.
Check it out!

I don't have Netflix.
There are interviews on Youtube
I heard 40% of the men (late teens-mid 20's) are still virgins.
My take away was lack of money-job competition, the expensive cost of living, and very little privacy, reduces sexual desire if a person is responsible.

In China, the male child takes care of the parents so many female fetus were aborted. There are more men than women of marriage age in China and it has become a problem. It is estimated by 2020 there will be 24 million males of marriage age that will remain bachelors because of the lack of marriageable females. Men go to work while many women go to university /college so many women are better educated than the men. Dating has gotten so selective for the women that often a man has to have a sizeable bank account, a nice place to live, a dece3nt and stable income and he has to do housework and cook. In Japan, there are dating services for women that charge the women thousands of dollars (US equivalent) that only have men that have very high incomes and a very stable government job. In Japan and China it seems like nice poorer guys just give up on marriage type relationships and settle for some paid sex.

My favorite documentary hands-down was Rambo - First Blood Part II
Followed by Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

That does sound interesting. I'll have a look. Alas, Netflix in the UK has a slightly different line up than Netflix US so it may not be available for me.
I do love a good documentary.

You ever consider using a free VPN service? It essentially creates a tunnel to a US server and fools Netflix into thinking you're coming from a US IP address.

You were responsible for the Clinton email fiasco weren’t you ?

Shamwow, how about naming a few free and low cost VPN's you trust that aren't slow.

On a side note, from what I read about her setup, it was pretty much saying "hack me". Pretty much assume whatever was on there, the chinese and Russians have.

I hope everyone knows I’m just being sarcastic. It is my native language.
