”When in Rome, act like the Romans”, often Finns say to me when I try to bring out some of the issues that bother me as an expat in Finland. I found their response inadequate because it doesn’t leave any room for critical assessment of the local host culture. In the 21st century, anyway, cultural assimilation is considered passé. The ”melting pot” metaphor is replaced by the notion of multiculturism that asserts that cultural differences within society are valuable and should be preserved.
Even though I have willingly chosen to live in Finland, I shall still stay true to my roots and personality as it has been formulated by my culture, the environment and family I was raised in and my personal values. But if foreigners were forced to ”do as the Finns” in order to adapt to the way of living and acclimatize to their new host culture, would that mean that we should engage vigorously in short-term, casual sex to catch up with the Finns?
According to an international research, Finland ranks first in promiscuity among 48 countries. Finnish men and women are the most promiscuous in the Western world. This global research – led by professor David Schmitt at Bradley University, Illinois and Founding Director of the International Sexuality Description Project – showed that when it comes to one-night stands, numbers of partners and attitudes to casual sex, Finland is leading the way.
