Go almost anywhere in Holland and you will see nudity and sex products, advertisements, etc etc.... all over the place, not just in the RedLight district. XXX Videos for sale right on the checkout counter at gas stations, Dildo sextoy shop store windows right next to a shoe store and dress shop windows. It's really odd for a Westerner at first.
Once you get used to it and notice how people think about that stuff over there it's no big deal. The youth over there are some of the most level headed and mature minded I have ever seen.
On top of that, if I'm not mistaken, you only have to be 16 to view a porno movie over there. BUT if you want to go see a movie with violence and murder you have to be 18+. (were talking PG13 movies here)
It really makes a lot of sense IMO. You don't see thousands and thousands of minors having babies before they even graduate highschool like you do here.
Same theory holds true about their legalized weed smoking. The ratio of Dutch minors versus US minors smoking weed is 10X higher here in the US, even though it's legal in Holland. Smoking weed in the Nederlands is just not made out to be a rebellious activity in their culture.
