Yes, I remember when Egypt was such a liberal, progressive place. Back in about 640 CE.

Egyptian men are proper sex pests.. even Jenny agrees with that.

Not a place where a woman needs to attract any undue attention.

Colombia and Brazil gets the price for most revealing. In the coastal towns it's all about how little you can wear. Age or size does not matter.

Never traveled to very conservative places, Cambodia would top my list there.

I never been to Colombia Brazil but I assume women can wear revealing clothes more freely without being judged from others because both countries belong to western world. I mean many western countries in general are more liberal than most non western countries regarding revealing outfits.

As for Cambodia, it seems like its not that conservative at least in cities like Phnom Penh. However, in most rural areas, it's more common for people to dress more conservatively, covering their shoulders and legs. And Cambodia is certainly more conservative than neighbor country Thailand due to the fact Cambodia is a much less developed country in many aspects though both countries have very similar culture. Overall Cambodian women don't dress nearly as provocatively as younger Thai women and Western women.

Thailand for streetwear, Greece for topless sunbathing on the beach.
Japan is very conservative.

Yeah surprisingly Japan was by far the most conservative country in East Asia. It was even more conservative than less developed East Asian countries such as Laos, Cambodia.

Just to say that I don't really agree with the idea that the most conservative countries are less developed or vice versa.

Anyway, IMO politics has nothing to do with the way people dress. Conservative dress in Tahiti might be considered outrageous in Utah, USA.

Still, no used panties automats neither hardcore hentai comics nor weird porn in legit websites in south east asia, go figure...Selectively conservative i'd say.

By the way i guess you can put the whole East Asia as less developped than Japan ? Or close tie with SKorea maybe ?

Kudos to Japanese for creativity in the face of Japanese law and societal norms.

Illegal to show penetration of human genitalia, hence the birth of tentacle porn.

The desire for privacy and respect leads to lingeries vending machines. No need for lingerie stories with employees and customers seeing and judging others. Just like the love hotels. Anonymity, privacy.

Just my opinions, of course.
