Iceland has been voted the most s*xuаlly liberated country. With a tiny population of 340,000 residents and a highly liberal mentality, so we decided to head to Iceland and check out how Icelanders perceive love, dating and s*x. Mostly the s*x.

Iceland - Zábava
Iceland's tourism is booming right after these videos.
Hahaha depends on what the tourists are looking for
Iceland is definitely an interesting and unique country.. best place to pick for a "pilot" of the new series.. other countries will not be able to compete with the standard Iceland has set in terms of being wild and unique and very progressed.. also very beautiful country and its people..
Id recommend people who think they will go there and just f**k everything that moves with eaze to kindly reconsider.. because they will be dissapointed.. better buy a plane ticket to Thailand if you wanna do sex tourism. Thats coming from someone whos never been to iceland but i am very much informed about it from friends who traveled there a couple times. They are attractive, funny, confident, chads, some even with clout. 0 lays.. this video is truthful but it only icelander thing.. tourists get no play there.. except maybe if u a women then its eazy everywhere in the world right?
@@sirbillymctip2549 u r definitely right
@@DatingBeyondBorders what they looking for?
It's so cold there, people are just trying to get warm anyway they can.

You’re so god damn weird.
omg this is so true, ever since i come here to iceland people keeps asking me about one night stand with them. Once i got asked like 3x in a day from a total strangers it's so wild over here, but that was 5 years ago. Now, i prefer to stay home. Having so many sex without proper intimacy and connection can dull your heart eventually.
True ,they are coldhearted
Are you male or female? Do females ask for ONS more often than males there or other way around?

Outstanding job - very informative!
It's an interesting features segment you are having in your show. Hoping I can watch more episodes in the future. A guy from the Philippines.
Lots of guys are probably thinking "oh yeah" but they don't realize that you still have to be good looking though.
rhythmandacoustics, yes and no. I can only speak for Norway which is similar to Iceland. It is not easy to get with a women in Norway, but once she is into you, there isn't much of a barrier against sex. I think these videos give a bit wrong idea of Nordic people. It makes it sound like we are like Brazilians or something. But many foreigners would perceive us as quit cold and hard to get to know.
@@povelvieregg165 "once she is into you" meaning you got to be good looking. One night stands appear to be the norm in Nordic Countries. Latin Culture actually is really against one night stands, the like to do the cat and mouse game.
@@rhythmandacoustics No it is not just about looks. People are different in Nordic countries as anywhere else. Some kind get attracted to somebody else's personality: confidence, humor etc. In Nordic countries one doesn't actually like this cat and mouse game at all. We would find it quite offensive with things like the cat calling and how it often feel like the guy is trying to buy the girl. I think nordics want it more straight forward and honest. They don't like it when a guy is showering a girl with compliments and gifts to get into her pants. I am not saying that is the case, but how it can often feel. We also expect far more respect for privacy. In latin countries guy would come up to girls they don't know and complement them without knowing them. I remember on vacation in France, when French guys would just come over and touch the hair of the blonde Norwegians girls I was with. To us that is very offensive behavior.
Similar experiences in the US. Norwegian girls in my office who studied in the US talked about how the guys would try to check them up by bragging about how successful they were, what sort of summer house they had, how much money they make etc. For most nordic women, that is a total turnoff. A handsome bragging douchebag is not something Nordic women tend to fall for.
@@povelvieregg165 Very interesting but since Nordic Countries have very low economic differences between people, I think most women do judge a man in terms of looks rather than economic standing more than other women from other countries. I do not know how the encounter from the French guy did but I am curious to know whether Nordic women will actually find a man flirting with them on the street will feel. Perhaps the French dude was ugly or merely average. Mate selection in Nordic countries appears to be mostly really driven by looks from what I see due to the socialist economic system compared to other western countries.
@@rhythmandacoustics
> Very interesting but since Nordic Countries have very low economic differences between people, I think most women do judge a man in terms of looks rather than economic standing more than other women from other countries.
I don't think it follow that just because economics does not matter as much, there has to be an exclusive focus on looks. Quite the contrary I think in many countries where economics matter more, women ignore a lot of the personal traits of the man. But I would admit nordic women can be quite demanding. Looks alone is not enough. They want a caring, funny and interesting man as well. And it is very important that the man respect her and her opinions. Nordic women are quite strong willed and don't want to be patronized.
Mind you, although I am Norwegian, I don't particularly like the way "dating" works in Nordic countries. I've actually been more comfortable with dating latin women, and presently I married to an American women (10 years). Ultimately my latin dates failed because I simply did not understand the latin cultures well. However I enjoyed my time with latin girls and made good friends if nothing else. Growing up in a Nordic country I think makes you sort of socially hamstrung. I can thank my female latin friends for figuring out better how to be around girls.
> I do not know how the encounter from the French guy did but I am curious to know whether Nordic women will actually find a man flirting with them on the street will feel. Perhaps the French dude was ugly or merely average.
Would not matter how the guy looked. Walking up to a girl and starting to touching her hair while showering her with complements would be perceived has highly offensive by most nordic girls. If he was really hot and charming maybe they could cut him some slack if they were in a good mood.
> Mate selection in Nordic countries appears to be mostly really driven by looks from what I see due to the socialist economic system compared to other western countries.
What made you think that? I think that is deceptive. Lookup guys who make pickup into a sport going around the world. These guys actually think Nordic countries are horrible, because they think girls are too opinionated and take demand to be taken serious and listened to. For super macho guys, Nordic countries is a terrible place to date.

@@SRBOMBONICA86 bruh why are condoms so expensive in Iceland? Shouldnt there government lower the price or make local condoms to reduce price?
@@DaftPunkSkittle Nah, I assume it has it's own drawbacks. Iceland's population is not that big comparing to the living area. So lowering the price might lead to decreasing fertility rates. However, just my thoughts🤔🤷♂️
@@yukine_it9483 I dont think its about worries of decreasing fertility rates, theres many ways to raise it but most governments are still not at that point or rather use other cheaper and depending on the person more damaging way to increase fertility rate. I heard that plan b and birth control pills are cheaper than condoms in Iceland. This cause STD increase since condoms mostly have two functions, STD and Birth Prevention while Plan B and birth control pills cant prevent STDs but is a Birth Prevention
Floki must be proud of this while sitting and watching this from valhala!!

Emma Berman , hi how are you I’m watching because Iceland 🇮🇸 is so beautiful, and the problem is this I’m still single
John doue Quebec Iceland was founded by 5000 Viking settlers and they’ve never really had immigrants since so 5000 grew into 300,000 naturally after 1000 years which is why most people in Iceland are distantly related to each other
@Sir Surname the First of his Name1 year ago LOL!😂🤣 You're username is funny. Now to respond to what you said. Yes Iceland was first colonised and settled by the Vikings and most of the settlers to Iceland were Vikings. Iceland was also colonised by the Celtics too. A lot of the settlers that came to Iceland were Celtics.

@@magnuskjartansson3013 damn 😔, might as well head to Japan if that’s the case
very interesting and so want to know in more detail
Those two women literally said that they had no choice. How is it liberating if they like they have no choice?
No choice but to deal with seeing those men again and dealing with any arising awkwardness. Casual sex, but in a population of only 300k. Knowing you can have as much sex as you want without being judged is liberating. Feeling some embarrassment afterwards is human.
@@bernardkariuki1365 nothing liberating about having multiple sex partners whatsoever
Just so you know, Iceland is deemed the most feminist country in the world. This is my problem with some part of Feminism. If some women want to be lil feminine, they should have their choice too, and need not follow what u think is liberating.
Japan is the most Feminist country in my opinion. All types of women live there.
@@SRBOMBONICA86 Thank you. Finally someone said that. Millions are happy with just one sex partner in life
Sorry, but they are not forced. Yeah, the truth is that most of the men expect that. But if they do not want, they don't have to have sex right away even they might not be able to find men. It is their choice at the end of the day

I really love this Single's Guide video series. I hope it's being done for several countries such as: China, European countries, North and South American countries, as well as African countries.

I hardly ever finish looking at a video, but, I LOVE THE COMMENTS !!!
When the toast is: "Death to your enemies." You're in a hard drinkin culture.
Its bullshit, it just means cup
After a 30 year marriage that was honestly one sided and I was the one being used, Iceland would be a living hell for me because sex and relationships are different. For me, I don't just want sex and honestly couldn't without that feeling of love, attraction, commitment, and a desire to be with that person for the rest of my life. To me it seems like their culture has lost that which I value most sadly. IMHO I believe they have lost the true meaning of what it is to be with someone other than just sex. I want a best friend and partner, her and myself against the world kind of thing. Without that …this would be a trip from hell.
I’ve done both! Both have pros and cons!
Yeah, I think so too and no matter what people say, I believe hook ups is really not a good think for humanity!
If you don't like the idea, then just don't go to Iceland. Wake up, it's 2023. They simply have a different way of doing things. To criticize someone else's culture it's not only closed minded but extremely ignorant. If you want to marry first and have sx later on then mive to an Arab country. You'll be fine there 😂
India is great in culture.
Same for me too. I feel exactly the same. Sorry for how your marriage turned out. But it's never too late to try anew. God bless!
Meeting a good lover in Iceland will keep you warm.

When you think about it, for someone to proposition you then ignore you after they get what they want is a little fucked up
But very common everywhere.
that's so weird lol I need to be mentally stimulated before anything related to sex happens O.O
Thats crazy
Yeah ..me too.that would be weird to have sex with someone that I just met but really isn't in to them in that way.there must be some kind of chemistry. ..some kind of attraction. ..
But its not easy they are choose white ,person with some status
Not drunk emigrant or tanned Arab no no
You must be good-looking, English perfect and maybe you can meet focusing on party and funny , usa , other Scandinavia boys
Same, it's not enough if someone is just physically attractive, there has to be chemistry and passion.
Exactly - I definitely can’t be hooking up with some bar stranger like this. But it also looks like these guys drink a lot over there. I hope you all heard when the presenter said they are the European capital of chlamydia 😂. No thanks
Apparently, in terms of dating, Iceland works like the gay community all over the entire world 🤣

@john connolly It's fascinating how women are destroying women in the name of "liberation" by actually enslaving themselves, and men don't even have to lift a finger...
Dark Horse: women only go along with societal norms. Social programming and state funded propaganda has screwed up more than just “women”. It just shows more in them because they are the ones who need more guidance. We didn’t all just up and decided to start being sluts and aborting our kids overnight. There was massive pushback against those ideas in the beginning and now we are at a point where they are literally teaching kids to do that shit in school. You guys really ought to learn more about how group psychology works if you’re going to be so deep into global politics.
Dark Horse so why you complaining on a dating video...
It makes a lot of sense in a country with such a low crime rate.

Hi
For the girl sitting on the bench that says we really don’t have a choice that’s the problem you really do have a choice
Lol ya, they don’t realize celibacy is a choice they could make, so that tells me that they are hard wired for sex
I suspect it is a poor choice. A woman that obtains a reputation of being celibate will never get a "date" if that comes *after* lovemaking, but for her, it is the other way round.
But it is also somewhat of a recent phenomenon. Where was this kind when I was in Iceland?

Apparently being young in Iceland without becoming an emotionally damaged, alcoholic golem with herpes is harder than a Resident Evil speed run.
That's funny, but I don't see how you came to that conclusion. Have you spent time in the US?
Dating culture is little more than status obsession, lies and neuroses.
@@johncaccioppo1142 I was born in California, raised in Nevada, lived again in San Francisco for 6 years and now live in Texas. Lots wrong with dating culture here, as anywhere, but America is enormous and there are many ways of life here that are radically different from each other. My point is that indiscriminate promiscuous sex with strangers is not an equal alternative lifestyle or indicative of a liberated, woke society. It's symptomatic of a deeper pathology, and aside from the obvious physical health risks, it creates a lot of emotional problems.
When people are unwilling to face this or have degenerated deeply enough into that lifestyle, they turn their criticism on monogamy and long term relationships because they subconsciously feel guilty and don't want the norm to be established too far above them in a way that would make them feel dirty by comparison. This video's interviews show the young residents of a tiny country saying basically the entire population has this problem. I don't hate Iceland at all. I just hope slutty alcoholism isn't the religion of Iceland's future.
@@AlexHandI don't see open sexuality as their problem. It's a lack of industry that deprives them of a deeper sense of purpose, amplified by economic inequality due to a global failure to think about alternatives to predatory capitalism... that's what makes people turn to quick pleasures and even addictions.
But again, I don't even see the kind of violence or level of disease here that indicates the problems you are suggesting. I can only guess you are stuck in the American mindset where even liberals are becoming less competent at seeing outside the Handmaid's Tale reality we are getting pushed into here by the ubiquitous religiofascist propaganda of the day.
It would be a good topic for a real documentary. I watched one one Kanopy that addresses just this problem of American sexual ignorance and it was pretty illuminating.
Obviously there are worse places, but the effort that goes into keeping Americans the hardest-working, uneducated consumers is such a phenomenal process. The lies we believe for no other reason than the notion that we have been carefully trained to associate conspiracy talk with insanity... it should roil anyone's blood.
@@johncaccioppo1142 That's a lot of assumptions, but I'm not religious, fascist or aligned with any political party. Your position sounds defensive in the way I described in the last post. You can live your own life and draw your own conclusions.
@@AlexHand I was not being defensive, but I see that now you are and I apologize for triggering that response. I was merely responding to the current zeitgeist.
The whole point of my writing was to underscore how the American mindset doesn't allow people to really think for themselves as they are always internally strapped to social judgments based on an unfair economic system that funnels all value away from the commoners to the minority ruling class.
Which includes the freedom of sexuality, by the way.
Now i wanna visit Iceland :D
Its interesting and its sad at the same time .
Looks like for spring break I am going to Iceland. What's a one way ticket from Chicago to Iceland cost?

And the downside to all this is that there's a huge amount of extremely lonely people here because, amazingly, not everybody is comfortable sleeping with someone they just met. It's even worse if you don't drink very much. Those unfortunate people have no choice but to leave the country in order to get laid. Unless they get lucky and meet a foreign person that's moved here.
Personally, I can't wait to emigrate. Sexual liberation has done nothing for me except cut me off from having a sex life.
Thanks for sharing! Very interesting
Thanks for replying :D I actually saw this video on an Icelandic news site and I thought it was quite well done, despite the fact that it made me want to pull my hair out, hahaha. And in no way am I trying to suggest that sexual liberation is a bad thing, by the way. It's just that this is what you get when the population is not only this small but also (almost literally) trapped on an Island. And the majority lives in one city. It's very scary to even try to get close with someone because in the back of your mind you're always aware that, if you have a bad breakup, you can never quite get away from him/her. They're never more than a day's drive away, in fact.
So we drink heavily to lower our inhibitions, so that we can ignore the fear, so that we can connect with someone. Even if it's just the thousandth one-night-stand in a row.
There are probably other means. I'm sure there are women with similar opinions and needs. That don't want one night stands. Find them
Thanks for sharing this. When have the icelanders turned this way? I dont see how a society can work like this.
I remember reading from a newspaper a story of a Portuguese that was living in Iceland, saying EXACTLY what the bartender says in 7:45 . DAMN that's a weird thing... the next day, they don't say hello ?!?!?!?! I mighty be wrong but this seems to be a problem with intimacy.
When the alcohol it's not in action... just... nothing
Ticket to Iceland: Booked!
More of these kind of guides, please. I like the more in-depth treatment than the "You know you're dating ..." videos.
Happy you liked it! I like YKYD videos for fun and quick overviews but I do want to get deeper with the videos
@@DatingBeyondBorders Just remember ... sometimes it's not the depth but the breadth that counts. So go deep and wide ;-)
😂😂😂
@@KimberlyGreen That's what she said
I like the you know you're dating x when.. videos too and they should definitely not stop doing them.. but this new format is amazing. i LOVE the in depth stuff you can really learn more about their culture then y.k.y.d.x.w. series.. i feel like ykydxw series is the tl;dr version of these new guide videos with a bit of added humour and its awesome. Im loving it ❤👌
... if somebody sticks with you, it’s possibly because they genuinely like you. Bravo! I’m going to Iceland next!

I gotta say.
I really dig the Rick Steves vibe. I love his show.
haha I'm a bit on the younger side (and don't show the museums except for one!) but I love the reference. I've bought many of his books :)
Dating Beyond Borders My favorites are his Italian episodes and the art museums.
He gave one of my favorite TEDx talks.
Also some of the best food porn in the universe!
I'm reading an amazing memoir "My Awful Luck With Men" by roya shynz. She said there was a time back in her conservative country when guys would ask if she was open to sex . If her immediate answer wasn't yes, they would just move on to the next girl.
Iran, right? How would that line work for those guys? Probably not well at all, right?
@@truthlemonade9793 actually in the modern upper class they got what they wanted, or they would have learned to stop saying those words
So these guys were fucked up! And no conservative would ever ask like that, but in islam countries things are really fucked up! However I think this sex situation in Iceland is sick to the bone!
What country is that?

There's only 3 dating rules across any nation:
1. Be Attractive, if not you need to...
2. Be Rich, if not just...
3. Be Gone, because you didn't stand a chance, lol.
No ,trust me ,not in Chechenia
Looks like I'm moving to Iceland!
it was interesting when she tried to explain the guy is Spain asking for a date and she thought he was a creep
poor dude probably still doesnt understand why she and her friends did a ugly reaction over him asking for a date 😂
That was really hilarious 😅😂😂
Who else says, "Death to your enemies!", before a shot?
I like it . . . Viking style!
Had a really good experience there.
That bass they keep playing is real human being
As an Icelander who hates the sex culture it brings me a lot of joy seeing so many people feeling sorry for and trolling on Icelanders in the comments. There is a lot of fucking here but there is also a lot of herpes, chlamydia, alcoholism, depression, cheating, etc. That Icelanders will never talk about because we are, deep down, a very emotionally underdeveloped culture. I think that in the coming years, if we get our mental health and drinking issues resolved, this sex culture will change. It’s a product of parental neglect, social anxiety, boredom and insecurity more than anything, if I could speculate- not all happy and healthy “sex positivity.” And, I am happy that so many can see that.
Idk bro no offense but I think most icelanders have such sex culture cause they have less hobbies and interpersonal values, underdeveloped mental health, and parental neglect. Nothing can be done and nothing in their minds as much as sex. Sex is also used to cope with bad situations, instead of sharing stories with a partner. I think they need love and guidance from that culture
Actually the sex culture itself is the reason for what you have mentioned, consuming sex just for the sake of satisfying the desire destroy human being way of functioning which result in depression, alcohol addiction and other things, hope you guys get rid of this immoral way of living before the country disappear and extinct.
Yazan Dib the country surely won’t go extinct as Icelanders have a lot of unprotected sex. But, that’s kind of the problem. Iceland only recently became a wealthy country. Now, but also (especially) 50 years ago, there were many teen/young mothers and alcoholic fathers who had unintended children that they consequently neglected- I believe that is the primary cause of this. A lot of us raised ourselves and started drinking in our early teens- it’s because we simply don’t have parental guidance. While we now have money, the mentality has not yet changed. But with time and influence from American culture, for instance, I think things like marriage and true love will become much more appealing. A lot of Icelanders simply don’t know any better. But then we pass it off as being a “sex positive” culture- we don’t know how shitty it is because we don’t know what to compare it to.
Ignas People who have healthy romantic relationships usually have healthy parental relationships. In Iceland, our parents had us very young and neglected many of us. As young teens we start drinking and experimenting with sex. Many of us don’t know what a good loving, relationship is. So, we have sex. It is very depressing. But, I am glad so many people in the comments identified it as such rather than glorify Iceland’s sad sex/relationship culture.
@@ominomi5130 Well, at least there are people who wants to change this culture, for teens it might sound fun however on the long run it can cause so many psychological issues. it's really sad that some people don't experience family love
Hope all the best for Iceland
