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

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).

Yaoi

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.

How do you see these below?

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

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

Visual-kei

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

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

Has a cop ever said something to you which was completely unexpected?

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

“None of my business” is the common attitude.

When do you start "growing old"?

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.

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.

What do you do to make yourself sleep early?

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