Le sexe autour du monde

- Season 3

(2013)

Mexico may be a haven for macho men, but to understand the sexual mores of Mexicans, we must compare Mexico with the rest of the country. A quarter of the population lives here. Abortion is allowed, women have subway cars and bus lines dedicated to them. Elsewhere, in some parts of the country, men are considered in some subcultures to be more macho if they can have sex with men and with women.

Few countries have experienced as much upheaval as Vietnam for a hundred years. Let's enter the great waltz-hesitation of the Vietnamese and search with them for the place of sex in their lives, somewhere between tradition and modernity.

In South Africa, desire has been expressed in a multicolored way for thousands of years. However, not everything is rosy in the land of the rainbow nation, where very contemporary issues seem to stimulate the imagination far beyond the conventional.

A non-Arab Muslim country, Turkey is unique in the world. Polygamy has been illegal since 1924 but still widely practiced. One in three women marry the man they want, but another third must marry with the consent of their family. This is the country whose inhabitants have the most sexual partners in the world.

Apollo, Aphrodite, Eros, Sappho, Priapus: Greece is a real temple of sex fame. In the country of the alpha male and the island of Lesbos, we seek to know how much the current crisis undermines the mythical libido of the Greeks.

The country stands out for its religious orthodoxy, its rearguard ideas and the most conservative and homophobic politicians in the world. Since the fall of the Berlin Wall, abortion has become a criminal offense, sex education at school age has been replaced by religious education and the purchase of contraceptive subsidies has been abolished. In addition, Poles spend 39 minutes on average to make love, some villagers make lingerie and a Catholic priest preaches "divine sex" to married couples.

Italy has a beautiful tradition in sexual matters: until 1968, adultery was an exclusively female crime, it was in Florence that the chastity belt was born, the Supreme Court approved the divorce of a man because his wife simply dreamed of cheating on him and she also confirmed that a woman had the right to lie to the police to protect her honor.
