@the100thmonkey Would you go so far as to describe the US as a deviant culture because it legally permits people to buy hardcore pornography of varying degrees of explicitness and aggression towards women? Off the owning, viewing and possession of pornography I would not say the US was deviant. There are areas I believe in my mind, and it for sure is not how many others would see it, that are deviant. A lot of what goes on here I am sure some other nation(s) out there see as deviant. People say often that pornography is a catalyst to aggression and violence towards women, in a true logical sense I fail to see that.
Japan is a much more openly sexual society than the US, which strikes me as a rather prudish place. In the ways I have seen not having lived there, I can agree with that to a point. Some of the areas don’t seem in tuned with there more expressed sexuality, you can eat sushi off a naked woman but you won’t find Japanese porn that shows pubic hair, pink, penetration or any lips to sexual organs without it being pixilated out. I have seen in several sources women topless in the presents of men at bathhouses, saunas, etc. where her you’d not see it. With the US, the grain seems to be a preoccupation with doing it, having it, so long as you don’t actually see it. Much like so long as you can smell the steak and hear it sizzling you can avoid really eating the steak.
But imagine some guy posting on YouTube a clip about his manual , “How to stealthy look down blouses at any location” complete with which camera phone is best to use, the best angle to get the best view, women in this top or that make the best marks, etc. there would be an uproar. I am sure it would be on national network news before the week was out and some prosecutor somewhere would be combing the Sheppard’s for case law to bring the bloke up on some kind of charge. His employer would more than likely fire him, and if he were coaching a peewee team they’d ask for his whistle. Tell me that would not happen here in the US?
@Ajulutsikael After all they used to have vending machines full of used panties. You would NEVER see anything like that in the US. If it were somehow ever legally done, unless in the most private of areas where no one could see who used it, because no one would ever use it for being seen making a buy would label you a deviant.
