Abortion rates are twice as high.
The American AIDS rate is three times greater than that of the Dutch.
What are they doing right that we're not? For starters, two-thirds of Dutch parents report
allowing their teenage children to have sleepovers with their boyfriend or girlfriend,
a situation even the most liberal American parents would rarely permit.
Is there something Americans should learn from the Dutch about relaxed attitudes
toward sex (and drugs —indeed, the Netherlands has more lenient drug laws than
the U.S., but three times lower rates of marijuana use)?
