> [@](#): > > Hey, everybody goes a little nutso whils abroad. Yeah but it does allude to the fact that this ridiculous notion of the brits being prudish or somehow more restrained is just plain buw-locks. I mean have you ever visited the place? Seriously, like the pubs or nightlife? It’s one thing to talk about being reserved whilst shopping or doing daily activities (work, school etc.) -everyone does that. But go for the party action, and you’ll see. Just be sure when they rip your pants off you don’t have your wallet in the back pocket. It’ll be soiled before the end o’ the night. ---

> [@mangeorge](#): > > Do you swim naked and screw clothed? 😉 Speaking as one who has recently moved to England for love (and, concurrently, sex) I can assure you that all the English sex I’ve had has been performed naked (aside from when he askes me to dress up :D). On the other hand, I couldn’t say about swimming naked since as far as I can make out, Brits don’t swim. They lie on the beach and turn pink. I recently caused a scandel by going to the seaside and…actually going in the water!!! ---

> [@masonite](#): > > Remember the contrast in _A Fish Called Wanda_ between the British couple applying deodorant before bed, and Keven Kline sniffing his own armpit during sex? (Although I can’t remember if K.K. was British in that movie.) No, Kevin Klein was American. But let us recall that Jamie Lee Curtis ultimatly judges the uptight British guy to be a better fuck than the obnoxious American (as has been my experience 🙂 ) ---

Yeah, now _that’s_ wild alright. 😉 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/english-sex/246887.md?page=1)
