Le sexe autour du monde

- Season 2

(2012)

Lebanon is now a modern state, rooted in the Arab world, where you can see women wearing a lot of fabric on their heads or very little on their bottoms. Here, if you are a woman, you can lose rapidly your virtue, but easily gain another virginity, as hymenoplasty is quite common here. We could say that Lebanon is from far the more open Islamic country.

Germany is a country where contrast was born: sexology, huge nudist movements and Benedict XVI. A country where the world's oldest profession is a job. And where saying your cologne smells like ass can be a compliment.

In Israel, sex, religion and politics sleep in the same bed. Even as some go so far as practicing kosher sex. To learn more about how to live out your sexuality in the shadow of the Wailing Wall, follow our guide.

Here, they have sex outside, sex is explicitly linked to politics, and there are hundreds of legal brothels, but it's forbidden to make porn films . In more ways than one, it's an opposite world to ours. Welcome down under, mates.

What first struck you in Brazil is the diversity of skin colour of its 192 million inhabitants, from milk white to coffee brown. This blend of races results from the country's immigration history. Most of Africa's slaves ended up here. Carnival has become the greatest party on earth, and if you look around, there are many costumes that have more to do with lace than any other kind of clothing.

Russia was probably the first country in the world which legalized abortion, in 1920 but hormonal contraception was introduced only in the 1990s. 75% of Russian men are cheating on their wives but their life expectancy is similar to that of Bangladesh, around 63 . The last census showed that there were 10 million more women than men in Russia and the gap keeps widening.

Though only 3% of people claim to practice Confucianism, its values are deeply rooted in society. This seems to contradict the fact that this country has the most online users and the highest porn spending per capita. A visit to Loveland might help us understand Korean mentality.

In Senegal, the people are friendly and colourful. We will go beyond the stereotypes to examine, for example, women's relationships with their husbands and with their other wives. We will see clothes that leave very little room for the imagination, and we'll talk about sexuality with everyday people to see how it works in a country that's practically 100% Muslim.
