Rants and WTF are you talking about and Coronavirus!

[QUOTE=Sirioja;2511206]On last weeks, not 1000 but more than 2000/2500 deaths per day for US, and spreading everywhere, even in cold rural North Dakota. Maybe only Alaska to be safe. They rush starting Pfizer on next week, under panic, when effects in UK. But vaccine don t prevent from getting and giving to others, maybe just avoiding to die, if not killing too many. I think pharma and medical will make big business about vaccines and to cure bad effects.[/QUOTE]You should re-familiarize yourself on the concept of "R0, are-naught".

If you can understand, then maybe you will know.

[QUOTE=McAdonis;2511238]Scandinavian countries are "feminist". If a Swedish woman wants to flirt aggressively and occasionally have a one-night stand, society is less judgmental and there is less shaming. However, just because you click platonically or romantically on the first night you meet a Scandinavian, does not necessarily mean that they will open up to you (allow you into inner circle, meet regularly).

Nordics responding to stereotypes about them [URL]https://youtu.be/BpuiQk_v9mY[/URL]: "Nordics are very shy, reserved, and unemotional. Until they get drunk, they like to get drunk to an extreme" (1 min7's to 3 min13). Scandinavians agreed with both parts of this stereotype. A Swedish guy makes a response which is informative: "If you meet someone like super drunk and you have hilarious fun for five hours, if you meet them the next day, you won't say Hello". Swedish girl nods in agreement. This anecdote demonstrates two things: (1) Scandinavians have a harder shell or barrier to break past when moving from acquaintance to friend, and (2) Scandinavians don't stop to engage in small talk (what logically follows after a greeting). Like all people, they require social contact to survive, but they seem to not need it as much as other cultures. They are just socially more independent (as the documentary I posted suggests). And the fact that more Swedes live alone than the rest of the world reinforces the value that they place on this independence.

I remember as a boy my friends and I used to dream of going to Sweden. All the porn we watched at the time was from Sweden and the older guys we knew at the time who visited Sweden told us how easy it was to get laid in Sweden, much easier than the States even though it was the age of free sex. What happened?

Partly because people exaggerated, partly because other countries followed. Sweden was very progressive in many areas in the first decades after the war. It's not as if Sweden was lightyears 'ahead' but I think there were sections of society in Southern Europe and the Americas that was a little bit more conservative. IMO, that's long gone.

What happened?[/QUOTE][QUOTE]A large-scale survey in Sweden (Public Health Agency of Sweden 2019) recently showed that at least 38% of young women (16 to 29 year-olds) report having engaged in casual sex during the last 12 months. It is thus a very common practice in this specific cohort, dropping to 15% in the one that follows (30 to 44 year-olds).

https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s12119-019-09690-8.[/QUOTE]For above 2019 study, almost two-thirds of young Swedish women have not had casual sex in the last twelve months. Nevertheless, the fact that someone has an occasional ONS ("being easy") does not necessarily mean that said person is not living a somewhat or mostly solitary life. ONS is by definition a way to NOT let people get emotionally close you, which aligns with the Scandinavian stereotype. You see them once, and then keep them at a distance. Also having an occasional ONS does not necessarily mean that Scandinavians are comfortable with random strangers breaching their infamous one meter physical distance bubble. Let's say a girl has had four ONS within the last twelve months. That is four strangers that she either found super attractive (or she was inebriated and in the mood). Every other Tinder date, she could have kept at a comfortable one meter distance. Conversely, Spanish and Italian are easier to befriend and they do "la bise" (cheek-to-cheek kiss) with people they barely know, but they are definitely not generally known for as many ONS as the more sexually liberated Scandinavians.

Germany now under more than 20000 cases per day, closing stores, restaurants, bars. WGs can go on holidays or to family, no brothels business on next weeks. Even small Switzerland, small China in Western Europe, is closing more and more. It should be hard winter.

The next day at work, it's as if nothing happened.

Wonder how much truth there is to this phenomenon.

I wonder what planet, I mean country, you're from.

BTW, Swedes, Danes and Norwegians are not the same. Lumping them together as a homogeneous group is a sign of ignorance. Finland isn't even a part of Scandinavia. Please, address the polar bear problem in Scandinavia! You're our expert, the YouTube professor.

Doesn't matter anyway as if they are drug users, what matters is how damaged their livers are as a result of the drug abuse. And as stated, we know their liver functions after initial labs in the ED. Your scenario is both overly judgmental and irrelevant.

[URL]https://www.hotmovies.com/series/28650/Swedish-Erotica-8mm-/[/URL][/QUOTE]I remember Seka well; she came on the scene when I was just getting seriously into porn in the late 70's. I actually always thought she was American. However, I'm talking about the 60's. The porn I saw back then was genuine Scandinavian porn, especially Swedish. I never saw any US porn until much later sometime in the 70´s. Would love to have gone to Sweden back then. My first trip to Europe was in 1973 with family. We did not go to Scandinavia but had a blast watching lots of porn in Amsterdam's red light district with my brother. We did not have the money to sample hookers.
