SEX AND NUDITY
By Nanna Gunnarsdóttir
I have noticed that perceptions of sex and nudity in Iceland are a bit odd to some people.
So I went out last night with a group of friends and was talking to an English friend of mine that suggested I should write a blog about how open Icelandic people are about sex. (Which is obviously a great idea because everyone is going to want to read about that – and I have so much to say on the topic!) ;)
This said friend has been to Iceland a couple of times (as well as pretty much everywhere else in the world) and he was amused when he was there with myself and my Icelandic female friend and we had a conversation, in English so that he could understand, detailing our sex-lives. Apparently my Icelandic friend was annoyed about some guy she had slept with and wanted to sleep with again but hadn’t heard from, then some guy walked past us and she pointed out and said: “That’s him!”
