Look at italy. guatemala. fiji islands. china. india. iran. russia. in fact, there are only a handful of countries that i would say are less repressed than america. (maybe parts of brazil and europe. can't think of any other places. even the caribbean is more repressed if you don't count the tourist places.) and historically speaking, this has to be one of the most sexually permissive times for the entire world!

With 192 countries in the world, it's easy to cherry pick ones that fit your argument
. In truth, the US is arguably the most repressed nation
of its type. I think we can all agree on what kind of nation it is without splitting hairs: We're wealthy, technologically advanced, educated, and at peace (within our borders, natch).
It is better to compare ourselves to Europe and Canada than nations that are communist, religiously fundamentalist (although the US is heading that way, at this rate), tropical isles, or fallen and struggling former superpowers. When you do this, the picture becomes much clearer: The United States does appear to be much more repressed than its comparable nations.
