Completing the inadvertent theme of my adoptive countrymen's ribaldry over the last few days, here's a poster I photographed in Munich a few months back. While adverts like these may pop up in places like independent newspapers, clubs, and the flyers those skeevy guys hand out in front of Vegas hotels back in the States, it should be noted that this was photographed about a block from the art museum in a tony part of a city of 1.4 million. Ads of this type are so common that it's really not a big deal here-- attitudes towards sexuality in Germany (and Europe in general) are notably relaxed, bordering on blasé. The irony here is the seeming disconnect between posters like this and the fact that Bavaria is generally considered one of the more conservative regions of the country.

I wish Germany was in the U.S. :( Well, at least the advertising parts of it. :)
The problem with most Americans is that they think if they see too much flesh they're going to go to hell. Most of those live in Texas and Oklahoma... hell by any standard.
Hells yeah... I'm down with the German adverts. BTW... thats one nice bootay:)
