I don't know which is more correct, or if they are both wrong.

I think neither.
Here's the thing: I find it quite awkward that American or Canadian tourists or temporary residents in China, Korea, or Japan have very bipolar opinions on how people view sex. It is either very liberal
or very conservative to them.
In the West, there is a huge tendency to bring sex-related issues to the public way way often whether it is negative (like Conservative religious people) or positive (like pride or culturally liberal people). So, there is an assumption that East Asians have a well-expressed and deep personal opinion on sex that could be shared by someone unfamiliar.
The answer is: People living in CKJ don't make sex-related issues as much as possible; very reserved opinion. Sex is really a personal stuff
or closet stuff for few like-minded people over there.
When I used to live in South Korea, I have never seen anybody who would talk about sex to a familiar person unless it is a very close friend. Then again, when I had a sex-ed class in South Korea, it was more about academic purposes, no "sex is evil!" or "sex is good!" attitudes.
Hope that make sense. I can see huge differences between the attitudes.
