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

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

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).

Yaoi

What measures do celebrities take to protect their images from being used for commercial purposes without permission? How much does this typically cost them?

Visual-kei

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.

Why do I feel so down and not happy anymore? I also feel really tired and non-motivated. Is that normal for someone to feel that way?

“None of my business” is the common attitude.

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

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

Why do some people have loving parents and some do not?

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

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

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

J.K. Rowling said that 65% of people in Britain are transgender. Where did she come up with that statistic?

Moreover, buff guys are often avoided for their narcissism.

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.

How do you see these below?

Is it common for Americans to feel "trapped" due to the size and distance of their country from other countries/continents? Is this feeling an exaggeration or a reality?

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.
