 Sex,
in both the political and the commercial sense, is a big deal in
Estonia. Tallinn’s old town has lost most of its sleazy
nightclubs and saunas, but there are still plenty around. Sexual
morals among more respectable folk have changed a lot since the Soviet
era, when women who were still unmarried at 21 were made to feel like
old maids. Estonia is increasingly adopting Nordic social attitudes
and values—but there is still a long way to go. Men are definitely
less likely to help with the cooking, cleaning and shopping than in,
say, Sweden. But it is already light years away from the habits across
the border in Russia.
