They don’t have the so-called “couple culture” seen in many Western countries.
In the old era, gay relationships were very common and were even praised among the privileged social classes, such as Samurai and monks.
They were very similar to the bromance of today but accompanied by sexual intercourse.
What exactly is female squirting? Is it only urine or a combination of liquids?

Yaoi
They don’t tease or beat up cross-dressed people on the road.
It’s very common for a girl/ woman to ask a boy/ man to be her boyfriend.
I’ve heard it’s always the male side that is expected to take a move in some countries. It’s not the case in Japan.
They don’t bring around their mates everywhere, which means they don’t worry about being single, gay, or whatever because no one cares about whom others are having/ not having sex with.
“None of my business” is the common attitude.
They don’t have the value that “guys must be macho.”
This is a very vague question. But considering the asker’s comment on Mr. Nakajima’s answer, your interest seems to be in sex-related matters (I don’t think it’s the only indicator of conservative/ progressive, though).

Japanese culture: Is it true adult adoption is common in Japan?
I sometimes feel people from the West are obsessed with those “gender” and “sex” things too much. Let’s think about something else sometimes. It’s unhealthy.
