You want a first-hand account?  I was in Copenhagen during my Seventh Grade
year (LONG ago), and two pertinent things come to mind:
1) There were vending machines on the street selling "pornography" (I prefer
"erotica" -- In America we've striven for erotica and have often settled
for pornography, but that's another story and another newsgroup).

2) Non-sexual nudism was not restricted to beaches: people would sunbathe
topless in the public parks, too. Not a thought was given to it.  People do
that here, too, but only very carefully, and only lying on their stomachs.
Not so in Copenhagen.  (Of course, I am referring to women.)

	There you have it.  I have heard all the accounts of increased
availability of pornography having a direct relationship to decreases in
sex crimes, but I'm afraid I wasn't very socially or culturally aware at
13.  Sorry.
