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

How do you see these below?

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

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

Whats the rule that makes "please" pronounced the same as "pleas"?

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

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

“None of my business” is the common attitude.

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.

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).

How do I write a character’s physical description without it feeling unnatural and clunky? I’m able to describe their hair and body relatively easily because my writing puts emphasis on small movements and fidgeting, but I can’t describe faces.

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.

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

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

Why can't ugly women date hot guys? I know a woman who wants a hot BF but people would just laugh at her and ask her "what can you bring to the table for him?", isn't that messed up?

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

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.

Moreover, buff guys are often avoided for their narcissism.

Why would my nipples hurt when I touch them?
