At the risk of getting "flamed".
The basis for most all our Modern western civilization sex hang ups is this
"Thou shall not commit adultery" probably the shortest worded commandment of the ten commandments.
"The ancient Hebrews, in particular, had a very restricted understanding of the concept, limiting it to just sexual
intercourse between a man and a woman who was either already married or at least betrothed.
The marital status of the man was irrelevant. Thus, a married man was not guilty of “adultery” for
having sex with an unmarried, unbetrothed woman."
It seems most all cultures follow this rule and everything else goes.
There have been layers of restrictions added for cultural or practical reasons
eg. incest is BAD for the kids health.
But it always has been pretty much anything goes for the entire world.
USA's pre-occupation with perversion is that the perverts expect
to be accepted as "Special" when they are not "normal" in a our society.
That is the friction. Most everywhere else they keep it on the "Down low".
