I find this somewhat surprising. When I was there, I found Taiwan to be a very conservative country. No porno mags (not that I was looking), no strip clubs (not that I was looking), the young ladies didn’t wear slutwear (yes I was checking them out). Most of the women in the pool did not wear bikinis (yes I was looking).

In fact I was told that it was not proper for a single woman to live by herself.

Hey Dog...interesting post thats for certain. Perdogg, this is a very 'sexual' society. Lots of porno mags as well as internet sex sites. Lots of strip clubs, hostess bars, 'haircut shops' and just plain whorehouses.
As a matter of fact, there is a large 'sex-workers' "union" here on the island - *disclaimer* - it originated by some busy-body university "feminists" out to make a name for their-selves, but it has been over-taken by 'legitimate' sex-workers. Right now an issue before the Legislative Yuan (Island congress of sorts) is a return to legalized 'Red Light" districts for the organized offering of goodies with health checks and fair treatment of the goodie babes.

As to clothing on the women here...its scanty in the hot weather and its hot almost all year round...me likey...me looky...me no touchy or talky...I'm married...;-(

The single woman living by herself thing is news to me. I live very close to a university and there is a lot of "student" housing that is also home to a number of single persons whose families live elsewhere on the island. They are here for their work and live in the 'stuerndt-type' housing because its safe, cheap and usually pretty well-maintained. Lots of single women, and guys, live in them.
But I do understand what you mean. In many ways there is a lot of conservative outlooks among the 'older' generation.
