Germany is a very secular and liberal society filled with young people that like to respond Ich habe keina lust, which means I have no desire to numerous questions.

What is the first question an American male soldier asks to a German girl once invited to her home? Answer, Do you have a family photo album?

What is the second question an American male soldier asks to a German girl once invited to her home? And, does your friend also live here in town.

The reasons for these questions and answers explain why Germans only like American action films and stare with a blank face if you would tell about the halftime show wardrobe malfunction. In Germany the body is mentally separated from sexuality.

As a result of this fact a soldier will always ask the above questions because every German family has annual pilgrimage to Spain where nude beaches are common. And like all families vacations are captured on film. As the second question is asked the girl will not have a clue in your interest.

Some more conservative soldiers with families will not allow children to watch local TV. Not because they show explicit sexual programs, because of the bra commercials. You see they start out with a naked woman putting on the bra and describe its attributes without thought of sexuality.

Guys, this skit will make you roll over and read a paperback with sunglasses at the beach. I was sunning my bleached white body at the community swim baud, a grassy area near a community pool, when a ‘qualifying Playboy Playmate of the month nominee’ arrives wearing jeans and long sleeve blouse carrying a tote bag and parks just in front of me. Her beauty captivated my attention as she arrived but what followed is seared in memory. Opening the bag she neatly places her towel and sun screen on the ground and then proceeded to disrobe neatly folding her clothing as she proceeded (I’m reading my paperback already) then rubbed her body with sun screen and then proceeded bending down to retrieve her bikini offering an uninterrupted view of the most gorgeous harvest moon I had ever witnessed.

Not one German male rolled over or even noticed.

I hope secular movement doesn’t cause such a change in America.
