Love and sex
LOVE AND SEX IN DUBAI
In Dubai, the Manhattan of the Middle East, as in the rest of the United Arab Emirates, sexual relations outside traditional marriage are considered a crime, and penalties range from fines to the death penalty, encompassing imprisonment or expulsion.
For Emiratis, who are a minority on their own territory, weddings are often lavish ceremonies. For expatriates, who make up the vast majority of the population, unions take place within their own community. It's perfectly possible to celebrate a Catholic wedding in Dubai. In fact, like everything else here, it's a business.

LOVE AND SEX IN MEXICO
Like many other Latin American countries, Mexico conveys an image of machismo and religious conservatism when it comes to sex.
Yet, the capital has always been one of the most progressive in the region, and some native peoples display tolerance toward sexual minorities unknown in many European countries.
The Mexican society, with 130 million inhabitants, is complex and full of contrasts.
LOVE AND SEX IN SOUTH KOREA
The thousands of ways to love
South Korea is the least fertile country in the world, and its population is estimated to halve by the end of the century. The cause is an ultra-competitive society obsessed with professional success. As a result, 75% of men and 68% of women aged 20 to 44 are single.
As finding a soulmate is not easy, South Koreans have become the world's most prominent cosmetic surgery consumers, and marriage agencies abound.
Faced with these pressures and constraints, many give up: no love, marriage, or children. For this generation, life can be successful in other ways. In return, sex appears to be a less complicated pastime than love.
