Why do British people always write "xxx" after their names?

British people do NOT ALWAYS end their missives with xxx.

X or X means kiss. So XXX or xxx would mean kisses. O or o means hugs so xoxoxo means hugs and kisses.

I don't know when this trend started but it was certainly more than 80 years ago and was or is still commonplace in Canada, at least among the elderly.

Why do Americans and foreigners alike describe the USA as prudish? Why do I see nothing prudish about the USA society? USA feels like one of the loosest countries although Americans claim to be very reserved.
