Tokyo Love Dolls

Thats one thing that made me angry about the movie "Lost in Translation", It showed a scene on the subway where a kid is reading a pornographic manga. So that one scene prompted some of my friends to start thinking, every manga and everyone who reads them is a pervert.
I can't say that I've seen anyone reading any hentai manga, but I've seen more than a few people reading manga just about everywhere...

I went to a fairly nice coffee shop, more like a cafe, granted we were in Akihabara, but even when you try to escape the streets filled with otaku walking at you sort of mindlessly looking at whatever, you get a guy across the table from you reading a phone-book sized manga... At a point you think, just put it down for a second!

Quite a lot of what might be considered "perverted" manga, such as yaoi & the more explicit, shotacon, (though you'll get different answers from diffrent people), are in fact read primarily by females.

I use craze michael because you can go down streets in japan (cities at least) that are dedicated to the sex industry while its not as bad as Amsterdam lol
Well, that's a red-light district, this isn't exclusive to say Amsterdam, and keep in mind all of Nevada has legalized prostitution... Sex isn't something that is unique to Japan, everyone wants it, and if selling it is legal or not, there will be places that offer it to those who will pay.

[...]compared to Manchester its unheard of. Hear people are ashamed to walk into an Ann Summers
I had to google that to figure out what that is... People in Japan don't just casually walk into sex-shops either, pornography (as a social more), is sort of seen as an otaku persuit... I mean, comparatively to the United States I'd say that Japan is the exact opposite. In the United States pornography has become something that's seen as sort of edgy and 'cool'... Instead of it being taboo, its considered natural for adults in certain demographics to buy it together, etcetera... I know a lot of women who like pornography... so I'd say that this is a stark difference from Japan.

And, if you're saying Manchester is chaste, (I've never been that far up, only to Birmingham, and frankly I didn't want to go any further north than that)... I saw a documentary on the beeb not but a few years ago that reported that Manchester did in fact have a huge prostitution problem.

[...]maybe Japan are just more open to sex. Compared to the UK the sex industry is big but here there is alot of money to be made selling drugs, illegal as they are but in Japan ive neevr even heard of drugs.
I don't know if they are more or less open, but they definitely have different social mores concerning sex--- But it's a lot like religion... People often think that the Japanese are very religious, or Buddhist or what-have-you, even though throughout a great deal of Japan's history the Daimyo tried to suppress Buddhism... There is a religious aspect to Japan, to be sure, but it's not as talked about out loud as much as it is say, in the United States... You do see some fliers here and there for "cult" like organizations though--- But this is much like you find Jack Chick Tracts lying places in the United States.

If sex isnt Japan's vice then im not sure what could be.
If you want to know what Japan's vices are, I can tell you, at least three things: manga, food & green tea.
 
I agree that alot of people consider manga is for kids from outside of Japan and compare it with cartoons like tom and jerry so quite often when gaijins see grown men reading them they find it strange. I also agree that i know more women then men that read the ones considered as yaoi and shotacon, to my suprise. While im not a pervert I'm also opened minded and never though there was anything wrong with people reading the books they want. :)
 
talking about sex industry my country counts 65% women and 35% men(among them are the half bakla (gay) ) so thats why my country does also have a lots of those tourists, curse them but yeah also bless them for the girls to give food to their family, i myself i always give money to girls, cause the peso isn't worth anything then the euro. so it gives me an advantage, i'm not a pervert so i don't need their bodies, in the contrary im trying to say stop selling your body and try to find other ways that not crimefull! boy you have to see the faces when im back in my neighboorhood, you can't get the smile of their face when im back in town 😌 they're really happy because me and my family and some other japanese friends we care for the poor people. and they always do something friendly in return as a token of gratitude :)
 
Hmm Manchester did have a problem with hookers but that was more so cause they were on the streets (and many still are). But we dont really have a red light district. If you have been to amsterdam your know that some of the things you see and can buy there is unbelievable, they even have a museum on sex. (Oh BTW Ann Summers is like a dulled down sex shop, at least from the outside anyway lol) Whenever ive been in Japan ive noticed things. If you picture a man going into a brothel you imagine an older man but quite often ive seen young guys who were not necessary ugly either with many young people admitting to paying for sex because that women is a professional so it will be better for them.

I've actually never been to Amsterdam, my host didn't really think it worth going, and I wasn't really either interested in van Gogh, prostitutes, or coffee shops... so it was no big thing. Mostly I was in Rotterdam, Haarlem, and a town that I can not for the life of me spell... (Dave? Beijivik.... something like this).

Yeah, I googled that up.

Paying for sex for some people is so much less messy than the commitment involved in real relationships... again, I think this isn't unique to Japan.

Craigslist, the DIY personals/classifieds site has a section called "Casual Encounters", simply for people who want to have anonymous sex... with NSA (No Strings Attached). And this is pretty much now a world-wide site.
 
True you cant even visit Yahoo without seeing a dating site. Many of these things dont just happen in Japan but from my experiences our young people dont do this. In fact its quite shameful to be caught doing it lol.

I was in Amsterdam for only a day and half but from what i seen its a great city. At first i would say to people why would i want to go amsterdam i dont do drugs and i wont be using their bothels but when i was there i found theres more to the city then i thought. Id like to visit Rotterdam too one day.
 
lol! The wallekes in Amsterdam! man that's just a funny name for a street for (hookers*) well yeah back to topic i really find it disgusting seeing a guy taking a love doll that very hard looks like my ex-girlfriend (^_^')

I will tell you that, having signed up for a yahoo Japan id, I get a lot of e-mail with advertisements for idol videos, or what-haveyou... It seems as if the raw marketing of desire is more prevalent in Japan--- especially where computers are concerned... People who use computers might be more likely to visit an idol site...

Now that's what i'm talking about

They are so life like. It's almost like a real live women wants to sleep with you!
 
There are even Doll Brothels, instead of real prostitutes you can grab your hook on a doll (o_O')?
You can even buy there some clothes for them! (O_O')

Well yeah everyone has his own hobby, it's just that people are weird.
 
Yeah. I suppose it's personal preferences. I read something the other day on Waiwai that men are not into Sex anymore. They get more pleasure from Masterbatory aids than they do from a woman. Do you think having sex with a love doll might produce the same results? I don't personally see how that would work, but it could. You never know. Depends what features are installed into the doll. :D :D :D
 
Japanese Brain:

Haha. I think the actual caption is more like it. Average Human Brain. Or... should it be changed to Average Male Brain?

Ok... so far we've made a mildly racist joke (suggesting that it's the Japanese brain) and a sexist joke (suggesting that it's the Male brain). How many more non-PC jokes can we make? Haha.
 
Well I can tell you that Sex is Tokyo`s Vice for sure. You can find just about any kind of sexual desire in Tokyo; along with a place to indulge in the desire of your choice. It is that, in Tokyo as least, the Japanese feel that sex is no big deal. There is a motto in Tokyo, `Do what ever you want just don`t hurt anyone and please don`t tell me about it, unless you want to include me in the action of course.`

There are a lot of people in Tokyo who use sex as a release from the extreme work stress that can build up over the course of a week. I could write a 20 page essay about the sexual habits in Tokyo and only start to explain.
 
Haha i'm still glad we can discuss things, because really if you invite someone at home and they ask: 'How's your wife doing? it would be very embarrasing if you showed the doll and anwser this: Happy and Smoothly as usual.... :eek:
 
Eew... that's wrong... haha. I suppose, the actual people with the dolls think it's normal, otherwise we wouldn't know about so many people who own them. I mean, some guys appear on TV showing their collections.
 
Sex dolls are nothing new, the fact that these are versions made for Japanese should make little difference. Sometimes I think people actually like feeling outraged or disgusted at things like this. :p
 
Haha, I do see what you mean. It's just another one of these popular perversions, like Dominatrix behaviour or using toys of some kind. It's just the fact that these behaviours are not "vanilla" makes it weird to some people.
 
I really liked the "not so vanilla" description. :) A friend of mine for example spent a week in Japan. According to her, one of the first things she started to look for was one of those dildos because according to her that's something you have to get when you go to Japan. :eek: That really made me pissed.
