I have lived and worked in Europe, and found most of the above to be true (I never really surveyed the scene quite the same way, so I cannot give a wholescale agreement ) It's been my contention that all of the prudes immigrated in the first wave to the US, and they set the foundation for 200+ years of body inhabitio/neurosis that followed.
The pilgrams came here because they wanted more restrictions than were allowed in England. That says a lot.
