The people talk of the sex in the USA and the Japan

[Snow Sabre]

Hello!

I am read many the topic on the CBR Community Forum is talk about the sex. This is different to expect when I am live in the Japan before. Some of the people tell me the USA people is not talk about sex in the public but I see is not so true.

In the Japan the sex is not the taboo topic. In the media is see more and the people is not feel is shame or embarass. In the USA today is also not seem to have the so much shame. But Michael and Kenny they are tell me that before is different. They are say that 50 year before in the 1950 is the taboo subject. Then is change when 1960 and 1970 year.

The Japan traditional socity is not taboo the topic for sex. But after the Christan coming is change. Become westernize. But now in the modern time is change more to traditional.

[JeffreyWKramer]

What's with this sexual thing so many Japanese seem to have in regard to very young schoolgirls? And panties? Could you shed some light on that?

And what about tentacle monster hentai?

[Devon C.]

And what about tentacle monster hentai?
Understand, Kramer, I was trying to get that out of my mind just now.

[JeffreyWKramer]

Understand, Kramer, I was trying to get that out of my mind just now.

C'mon, when Snow Sabre brought up the topic of Japanese attitudes and sex, we all know that virtually everyone's mind flashed to "Tentacle hentai... WTF is up with that?"

[Charles RB]

Some of the people tell me the USA people is not talk about sex in the public but I see is not so true.

Well, in public they might not but on the Internet? Heck, a full half of the Internet is about sex and I think that's a conservative estimate!



And what about tentacle monster hentai?

It's a disgraceful exploitation and degeneration of tentacle monsters.

You got that right, Snow. The concept of sex being taboo in American society is, well, pretty superficial.

[Snow Sabre]

Hello Mr. Kramer!

The Japan is have so much the man is have interest for the hentai of sex. Is now even the USA people know the hentai of the Japan?

I am not know the reason is so much the hentai interest in the Japan. But is something for the Japan woman is be careful. In the Japan before I am have the problem of the experiance. When I am go to use the subway before is have the man is touching my bottom. But Michael is push him away and hit him. When we are at train station is police taking him away. I am always scare this thing will happen.

One perk to sitting in a chair.. makes it harder to feel (or take a picture) up my skirt.

Kyoko, I think folks are specifically wondering about the anime hentai.


And no, sex generally isn't discussed in person as much as it is here, at least not in mixed company...

[Sanagi]

Kyoko, I think folks are specifically wondering about the anime hentai.
Yeah, quick vocabulary lesson, everyone. Many of us may have learned that "hentai" means anime porn, but that usage is foreign to the Japanese. The word actually means "pervert." So if you go to a Japanese video store and ask for "hentai" they'll probably wonder if you're insulting someone who works there. ("You mean Hiroshi? He's kind of a pervert... But does he have a reputation?)

So, what is the Japanese term for the specific sort of anime we are talking about?

It might be synonymous with the Japanese term for "That's just plain WRONG".

What's this Kansho business, with the kids jamming their finger up adult butts? I almost accepted a job with Aeon Corporation to teach English in Japan, but that was long before I heard about Kansho.

Doesn't that one black dude that posts his stories on his blog or something go through that all the time? I'm sure it was posted on more than one occasion somewhere around here.

[Wild Card]

Remeber this forum isn't just American there's posters from all around the world here. If I remeber right I think that Matt is from Australia.
I think a lot of people whould talk about things on message boards that they whouldn't talk about in real life. There is somewhat of an anonymity on message boards it is posable for two people who post to each other in a forum to meet in real life and not even know it.
As for sex talk in real life in most situations it's very taboo.

[Paradox]

Wild Card is a bit oversimplifying:

As for sex talk in real life in most situations it's very taboo.

It depends entirely on what KIND of "sex talk", the audience and the situation. It's generally not done much between generations, or a lot in unfamiliar mixed company. It's pretty common when it's "just the guys" (or "just the girls", if many movies and TV shows are to be believed), among groups of close friends, etc.

"Clinical sex talk" can pop up in a lot of places and situations that people wouldn't expect, and is often readily accepted.

[Justy]

Hello Snow Sabre,

I agree with Paradox. The censorship really depends on what is the substance of the sex talk. There is an variation of attitude in the U.S. as to what is acceptable in public (specifically national television). In most cases younger people tend to have a more open view of what is acceptable. However, as one poster stated it really is a superficial censorship. The older generations felt the same way they just kept their thoughts secret. Of course, all people are individuals with their own tastes.

I think however you are seeing a difference is what is acceptable in a more substantive way. The very substance of the sexual talk is different, not the attitude towards it. The U.S. is very plain in this regard. To use a little slang we are very vanilla. Japan is much more open and adventurous in what is acceptable in a public forum.

[Rachel Grey]

Azrael of Oupost Nine? Yeah, though he's gotten damn good at dodging them.

My sociology 101 professor said to us in class once that "75% of the Internet is just smut." I had to refrain from asking him to show his math.

I seem to recall that traditionally in Japan, nudity was considered natural (things like public baths, etc.), and the emphasis wasn't on covering up one's body; rather, it was on how to be polite when around someone naked. That makes much more sense to me than how the vast majority of Americans are about nudity. :)

As for the U.S. and sex... well, Kyoko, it varies widely. The U.S. has a lot of different cultures within it, and I'm not just talking cultures of immigrants from various countries. For instance, you can generalize and say that small towns in America have many more taboos on speaking about sex, or what is said about sex, than large cities. That's true to a point... but some of that also depends on the region those towns and cities are in, and the populations within them. The reason it's true to a point is that, in large cities, it's easier for like-minded people to gather together, whether it's at parties or clubs, or in neighborhoods, etc.... and it's also easier to have businesses that cater to those people's tastes.

For instance, there's many strip clubs in Atlanta, and a small amount of clubs for swingers (people who have sex with more than one partner, in one way or another... usually someone in a committed relationship, but it sometimes includes single people too). But the small town where I was born, in North Georgia, has *no* clubs of either type... in part because stuff like that is frowned upon, so people are less open about such interests, and in part because there simply aren't enough around to patronize such places that would make a club like that a money-making business.

But, in comparing Atlanta, which is a very large city, to Ft. Lauderdale (Florida), which is a smaller city, Ft. Lauderdale actually has more clubs and venues and shops for people of alternative lifestyles than Atlanta. That's because Ft. Lauderdale has a larger population of people who are into alternative stuff, are more open about sexual matters, and are less inhibited in general, than the population of Atlanta.

There's also the fact that, when someone has an interest that isn't popular where they live, if they find a place where it *is* popular, or at least is accepted (versus being frowned upon), most people will want to move to the place where they are happier in being themselves. In fact, it's one of the main reasons we want to move from Atlanta to Ft. Lauderdale---our interests are taken much more as a "matter of fact" thing down there, whereas up here they're often frowned upon... and up here, there's not much to do and not many shops to go to, for that kind of stuff. (Fetishwear, etc.)

CBR is unusual, in that it's not a site dedicated to sex talk, but that we as a community are pretty open to talking about sexual topics, in general. We're also very open and welcoming to people of widely varied interests and morals, in terms of sex stuff.

But neither CBR, nor television and movies, are really accurate reflectors of the American society's average viewpoint on sex, or on willingess to talk about it. Much of America still has a lot of inhibitions, or judgements, or whatever, that are pretty negative toward sex itself, and toward people who view sex differently than they do.

Also, the majority of Americans (as far as I can tell) still equate nudity with sex, in terms of taboo. As a society, we get as uptight and upset over nudity as we do over sex---especially in real life.

I'm glad to hear that Japan is going back to the more traditional viewpoint on all that.

***

As to the hentai tentacle sex thing... over here, there's a specific type of Japanese anime that's gotten labeled "hentai," so whenever you hear an American say "hentai," that's probably what they're talking about. And I too have noticed that a fair amount of those animated fantasy/scifi films that have porn in them tend to have sex/rape scenes with some weird monster or demon attacking some tied up woman... and the tentacles going into every orifice possible.

Is that kind of thing really that prevalent in Japanese porn cartoons, or is it something that they came up with to freak out and/or intrigue the American market? Or do you even know anything about it at all? :D (I don't assume that, just because you are from Japan, you know about everything that's been marketed over here... hee.)

Well, I can tell you that there is MUCH more anime and manga (both hentai and normal) in Japan than will ever be translated for the American market. Only a very small fraction of what is produced over there will ever be seen or heard of here.

Most comics in Japan go through at least 2 stages. They usually first appear in a large anthology title like Shonen Jump. These are huge books, literally the size of telephone books and with about the same paper quality, containing many serialized stories. People buy them, read them, and throw them away. Between the huge size and poor paper, they are not meant for collecting.

Only the best/most popular stories from the anthologies get their own book, which is much smaller in size and much better paper, that contains the collected reprints of just that storyline, similar to TPBs in America. These are meant to be collected and saved, as volume after volume comes out.

And only a few of THOSE books will be translated and made available to the American market. I have over 1,600 Japanese manga, and when I brought them over to the US in 1998, I'd say less than 3% of the books I owned had translated versions available in America at that time. With the boom in manga now, that percentage has gone up significantly... it's probably now 20-25% or more. But I tended to choose what I considered the best of the manga available at the time, so the actual percentage of translated books is much smaller than that.

[Tommy]

As far as the tentacle monsters... The explanation I heard is this:

A few years ago the Japanese Government decided to crack down on porn. So they outlawed explicitly showing a penis. (Hence why in Japanese live action porn the penis is pixilated.)

To figure out a way to have penetration and yet not break any laws the makers of Anime porn created monsters with tentacles.

So in other words the situation got much much worse for the government.

I want to know what's up with the dirty panty vending machines, myself.

[Donald M.]

Japan is weird. Sometimes scary weird.

I saw this video that was basically one guy hiding in the bushes with a camera while another guy went up to random young women on the street wearing skirts and pulled their panties down.

I stopped it after a couple of minutes, feeling queasy and a more than a little dirty. Who the hell actually likes crap like that?

[Donald M.]

I want to know what's up with the dirty panty vending machines, myself.

It beats breaking into women's houses I guess.

I wonder if the panties are really used or if they can recreate that smell some other way. Possibly with wood shavings?

[DarkBlade]

Did anyone beat him for it?

[Donald M.]

Did anyone beat him for it?

I assume you mean in the video I mentioned?

I didn't watch long enough to find out and possibly the whole thing was staged, but it looked real enough, with the women (the one or two I watched long enough to see) looking very shaken and upset, that I wouldn't shed any tears if he was found dead in a gutter with his buddy's camera shoved somewhere painful.

I don't know if that's even illegal in Japan. I've seen videos where people have sex in public and other people just walk around them and no one tries to stop them or call the cops.

With these weird Japanese fetish videos, it's hard to tell if the stuff is real or staged because people's reactions are so genuine.

I was in Osaka for a couple of months in 1987 (granted in was 1987), and Iloved it.

The strangest sexual thing I saw was a porn vending machine in a residential neighborhood.

The place is awesome - and violence (rape/abuse/assault) against women is extremely low. I would rather have my daughter live in Japan than America.

I have read there is public groping - and have heard its a problem - but I never saw it.

Anyway my .02

When I was in Japan, and people found out I lived in New York City, they asked me how many gun fights I had been in. Why? Because their whole image of New York was from TV and movies. I think we're mischaracterizing an entire culture because of some stupid fetish videos.

[SUPERECWFAN1]

Hopefully he's not the Godzilla 2000. If he is , fuck em. I don't want his autograph. I want the creature that flattens Tokyo almost every week.

[Donald M.]

It wasn't my intention to suggest that Japan is full of roving packs of pervs who run around tearing off women's clothing, just that they produce some singularly weird and disturbing porn.

I've been there. It is a beautiful country. The people are very friendly, except old men riding bicycles ^^. I was yelled at by one guy who claimed I was walking on the wrong side of the sidewalk. Aside from that I had great experience that I will remember always.

If you can afford it, then visit. Japan is no different from any other country, just be streetwise like any other place you go.

I am very sorry it is so long I am not give the reply in this topic. It is becuz I am busy take care of the two kid and also the photograph studio. I am apologize.

I am very thank you for the knowlege you are share with me about the atitude of the American people for talking about the sex. I know is very complicate. Is same in Japan. The diffrent genaration is have the diffrent idea.

You are right the meaning of the hentai. In the Japan the phrase hentai is have the meaning change the charactar. Is change the charactar in the bad way. Is usual mean the sex atitude is same in English call pervert person. In Japan we are have many but is probably every country have this.

It is the very strange thing.

What I've heard is that once women learned there was a market for it, they started selling because, hey, it's easy money. I suspect the vending machine angle is an urban legend, as it doesn't really make any sense. (But then, this is the nation that brought us lap pillows (http://www.jlist.com/IMAGE/xv8d5) and Katamari Damacy... (http://katamari.namco.com/))

And my general response to the question of why there's so much "crazy sex" stuff for sale in Japan is simply that they're better at recognizing a profitable demographic.
