Japan's Blurry Views on Sex
Thursday, July 21, 2005 → by Danieru
Japan is full of porn. It's true! Take a stroll around your local convenience store whilst trying to avert your eyes from the school-girl not-so-top-shelf beauties. Hop on down to the video store, you see that curtain there dangling between the rows of old VHS and DVD releases? Behind its mystic ubiquity lies the realm of foot fetish porn, upskirt hidden camera porn, smothered in faeces porn and all the school girls you could shake your stick at. Spend a night at a capsule or love hotel and interact yourself with the 24 hour porn network fed into business men's sleeping quarters since time immemorial.
You can watch the porn, you can hear the porn, maybe you can feel porn too, but in truth you can't see it in its full glory, for live action porn in Japan means blurry genitals and non existant money-shots. No naughty bits allowed. And I'm not the only one to notice:
UPDATE: Japanese Power Rangers Fetish Porn skirts the boundaries of censored...
Confused? Contrasted? Japan always is.

"In Japan, I can find racks full of magazines and manga and movies aplenty. Can I find one that will show me the labia majora? Sorry, impossible. Ten-tentacled space aliens doing weird things to a schoolgirl? Sure, aisle 5, rows 1-6. A clitoris? No can do, but if you'd like a nurse to dance on your testicles - blurred out, of course - you can live that fantasy in aisle 2, next to the hot-springs spy cams. You get the idea. Just don't get too many because you might think you're missing something." - linkAnd where does this leave the Japanese? Strewn between two worlds where the birthrate is falling below recognition, where the modern marriage is one devoid of passion, where kids are playing doctors and nurses at earlier and earlier ages, but a world in which avoiding semi-naked buxom beauties is nigh on impossible.

Many of them have production houses outside of the country, or push the boundaries by having the mosaics be very faint, but still "censored."
