Japanese Sexual Preferences, Trends, Fetish…

One of the most fascinating cultures to me is Japanese.  So cultured in all aspects from the temples to the Geisha discipline, the wedding ceremonies, the festivals, the cherry blossoms, the art, the language, the written form, media…I could go on and on.  

I’m also fascinated by the Japanese’s Sexual Preferences, Trends, and Fetishes.  Does it reflect on their culture?  Perhaps in the last 25 years or so it does.
 

Many Japanese women, not all I point out, grow up to remain immature like, with young teen tendencies.  If you observe a young Japanese girl say in her twenties,  chances are you’ll find her social habits and accessories to resemble the ones of a person half that age. 

The reason?  They’ve been taught to behave like this to please and attract Japanese men.  You may grasp this through Animé or other Japanese visual medias. 

It’s what makes the world go round, we’re all a little different and Vive la différence!  While we’re on the subject of Japanese society, did you know Japan introduced a sexy Ronald McDonald a few years back to promote a hamburger?

Would you look at that neck?  Quoted from answers.com:  In traditional Japanese culture, the nape (known in the Japanese language as unaji 項) was one of the few areas of the body (other than face and hands) left uncovered by women’s attire, so that the nape of a woman’s neck held a strong attraction for many Japanese men.

So getting back as to why some Japanese women appear to remain school girl age even in their twenties.  Socialization maybe?  A popular form of behaviour for these  young school girls is Enjo kōsai (援助交際, Enjo kōsai^?).  Known as assisted dating in Japan.  The practice involves young school girls escorting older, salaried men.  Often the escorting can involve sexual services.  It began in the 1980’s economic surge.  The payment is not always money.  It can involves fashion related items bearing popular names in exchange for dating favours.

The school girl uniform becomes a representation of "sexy" throughout other Japanese media such as animé or Hentai.  If you want to find out more about Hentai, you can visit our friend Shay at The S Spot, who has a category of her blog devoted to it and regularly uses Hentai images throughout her posts.

In a country where the age of consent is 13 nationwide, 16 to 18 in most prefectures; the age of marriage for a female with parental approval is 16, Hentai is only sold to people over 18! 

Japanese girls really don’t have to change their undies, they can sell them on their way home and buy tons more.   Each pair can be sold  for 5,000 to 7,000 yen.  That’s anywhere in between $40 and $60 USD.  Not bad money for walking home from school.  Ha yes, and all this for the scent of a woman!

As for Fetish, I found this great gallery on Radar .  Do enter the gallery.  There’s some fun shots there.  If you’re more inclined on the artsy stuff, you won’t want to miss the Kariwanz Gallery. 

And of course all of these interesting little facts add even more to my fascination of Japanese culture.
