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

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.

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.

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

What does "feeling like your life is over" mean and why is it not in any dictionary online?

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

Yaoi

How do you see these below?

What is the difference between anxiety and depressive neurosis?

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.

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

Moreover, buff guys are often avoided for their narcissism.

Why do my friends always say "yeah, we've heard this before" when I talk about something I'm passionate about?

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

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).

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

Undercover cops in New York are riding the subways with iPods on to entice robbery. Is that a form of entrapment? If not, why not?

Visual-kei

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

“None of my business” is the common attitude.

What is the meaning behind people claiming to hear voices of God in their heads without anyone else hearing them? Is this a sign of mental illness or possession by an evil spirit?

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