Prudery is a subjective concept. What's prudish to one person might not be so to another. The two of you shouldn't act as if there's such a thing as objective prudery. Wink

Prudery is not a subjective concept, Dibble.  Whether it is 'good' or 'bad' is subjective.

Then give me an exact, objective list of what constitutes what is prudish and what isn't - one that is not based on your subjective opinion or the subjective opinion of any other person.

Just because something is a relative observation does not mean that it is subjective.

It has nothing to do with relative observation! How is what constitutes prudery not a subjective opinion? What one person considers prudery another might not, exactly the same as what one person might consider moral another might not. If it's not subjective, then again, I challenge you to point out the exact dividing line as to what constitutes prudery and what does not.

Not a real word and I will always say that.

The dictionary says otherwise.
