There was a great program on the french "Travel" channel yesterday regarding sex in Japan.
Did you know that they have shops where young (!!!) girls come and resell their worn panties, school uniforms etc ?

They also explained that there is no legal age for sex in Japan and erotism is most of time associated with young girls images.

Any picture of REAL people having sex is not allowed, this is why the hentai is so strong over there.

I'm gonna try & directly get in touch with webmasters living in Japan :-P

I think that show was a bit off. Especially about the young stuff. These days that is more fantasy than reality. Penalties for underage content are increasingly severe. People still talk about the panty vending machines but they have not been around for years. Used panties that is.

There are fairly big populations in US and other country but many Japanese are returning home these days if they can.

Still, a 1st ever Ramen Yokocho Fest this past weekend was a huge success in Torrance, south bay of Los Angeles. Demographic was a marketers dream, young to 50's, tattoos, upscale and the girls were smoking hot all ethnicities.

We ate at this place, silverlakeramen.com - They were among the vendors. Absolutely delicious. A new thing is ramen burgers. Can't wait to try. I guess Japan's answer to Krispy Kreme burgers, lol.

Hentai is also censored. Plenty of pics and images of real people having sex are available, just pixelated.

It is definitely a complicated business both culturally and economically.
We have been working with Japanese content since 2005. Still learn something new every day.
