I don't see what difference it would have made if I would have named the whole country than the capital, but it's an easy thing to clear up. I just really meant "where you are."

I used 9 1/2 weeks because I wanted to compare a mainstream movie with a lot of violence with a mainstream movie with a lot of sex. Somebody suggested it wasn't fair to compare an X-rated movie with Saving Private Ryan.

I don't know the effect of sex education and/or exposure to sexual material may have had on Denmark. Has it been good? Was it really bad before Danish children became educated about sex?

Here in the US, widespread sex education beginning in the early seventies has gone hand in hand with greater teen pregnancy, STD rates, and general cultural coarseness (hard to quantify). If sex education hasn't been the cause, it certainly hasn't been the cure.
