Academic research would agree with you. A good book called Not Under My Roof is a good study of it.
edit: a word.
If you're still interested, a great comparative study of teen sexuality in the Netherlands and the US was recently published. It's written by a Harvard-trained sociologist, and for me it was certainly very informative; it really focuses on the parent-teenager dynamic, specifically how it's relatively acceptable for Dutch teens to spend a night in the house, and bed, of their boyfriend or girlfriend, while that's almost universally unthinkable in North America. (As a Canadian teenager, I got it for my parents this Christmas, trying to encourage them to take a more... Dutch-influenced approach.) There's also a lengthy section about, historically speaking, why the Netherlands is a lot more forward-thinking about sexuality than the US, while it was much more conservative only 50-60 years ago.
Because of the nature of the subreddit, I feel I have to ask: has it been your experience as a Dutch person that a sleep-over with a romantic partner, even during the teenage years, is relatively acceptable?
