How conservative the Japanese people really is? And the government?

They don’t have the so-called “couple culture” seen in many Western countries.

In the old era, gay relationships were very common and were even praised among the privileged social classes, such as Samurai and monks.

I sometimes feel people from the West are obsessed with those “gender” and “sex” things too much. Let’s think about something else sometimes. It’s unhealthy.

Why is it rare for someone to despise both the Democrats and Republicans?

They don’t have the value that “guys must be macho.”

It’s very common for a girl/ woman to ask a boy/ man to be her boyfriend.

They don’t tease or beat up cross-dressed people on the road.

How common are novels, animes, or mangas, that are both coming of age and thriller? What do you think of these kinds of stories? What are some examples?

Moreover, buff guys are often avoided for their narcissism.

We don’t instantly tie it with sex when a father and his very young daughter are taking a bath together.

I’ve heard it’s always the male side that is expected to take a move in some countries. It’s not the case in Japan.

What would happen if the Earth stopped spinning for one minute?

This is a very vague question. But considering the asker’s comment on Mr. Nakajima’s answer, your interest seems to be in sex-related matters (I don’t think it’s the only indicator of conservative/ progressive, though).

Why does my penis look like a mushroom when it gets big?

How do you see these below?

“None of my business” is the common attitude.

They don’t bring around their mates everywhere, which means they don’t worry about being single, gay, or whatever because no one cares about whom others are having/ not having sex with.

They were very similar to the bromance of today but accompanied by sexual intercourse.
