I think of all of my friends, and other than one judgemental guy I know, none of them have ever made any similar statements as to what I am reading here. I can recall more than a few dinner parties I have attended where the conversation turns to sex after a few red wines and the explicit stories about past experiences flow and no-one EVER lays out the kind of judgement I am reading here.
Must be a Canadian thing that we are way more laid back when it comes to sex than Americans. We certainly don't run around quoting the bible (none of us go to church - we'd probably just spontaneously combust anyway.)

Canadians are so cute when they try to pretend they are different from US citizens, but other than higher gas prices, French no one reads, and better Walleye fishing, someone would have to tell you you crossed the border to really notice it.

In Canada's North, Spread of AIDS Is Feared
If the uninhibited sexual mores of young Eskimos lead to an AIDS epidemic in Canada's far north, it will not be because Nader Barsoum didn't try to prevent it.
Mr. Barsoum, 35 years old, runs the only privately owned drugstore in this community of 3,000 people about 100 miles south of the Arctic Circle. Last month, he placed an advertisement in The Nunatsiaq News, a weekly newspaper circulated throughout Canada's eastern Arctic region.
''AIDS is a killer!'' the advertisement proclaimed in English and Inuktituk, the lingua franca among the territory's 25,000 Eskimos. ''If you cannot afford to buy a condom, your druggist Nader Barsoum will be pleased to offer it to you at no charge.'' Handing Out Condoms
In a few weeks, Mr. Barsoum, a native of Egypt who came to Canada in 1976, has handed out about $500 worth of free condoms to the Eskimos, or Inuit, who constitute more than 90 percent of the population of Iqaluit, formerly known as Frobisher Bay. Eskimos account for almost half of the 51,000 inhabitants of the vast spaces of the Northwest Territories.
So far, only one person in the territory has been diagnosed with AIDS. But territorial medical authorities say as many as several hundred others have been infected with the virus that causes it, leading to fears that the disease could spread as rapidly as other venereal diseases in the area.
