Why is porn so rampant in Japan? I mean there are many JAV idols. Thousands I think.I mean, porn is already commonplace in Japan.And I'm wondering why?well my answer is because most Japanese girls are beautiful that's why...and they get paid big time.Just tell me if this is a nonsense topic, so that the mods can close this thread.Just wondering ok?It's not really rampant.There are twice as many porn stars in the USA than there is in Japan. "What about the amateurs????" Well my reply to a question like that: just look at all the amateur porn coming from the USA... Girls Gone Wild, Gonzo Porn, BangBus (when not featuring used-up twenty-somethings acting as teenagers), etc etc etc.I alone in my home city convinced eleven women to model nude for me and six of them were willing to do video if I paid them. See? Japan just hardly any amateur and even pro porn compared to Japan.Quote:Originally Posted by aquamarineIt's not really rampant.There are twice as many porn stars in the USA than there is in Japan.

See? Japan just hardly any amateur and even pro porn compared to Japan.Well, girls gone wild is usually either drunk/drugged up/underage girls, pornstars, or escorts as pointed out by the many court cases against him, which stated most all of them where setup, and the few that weren't where underaged and got him in trouble.All that bangbrothers type stuff is also far from amateur, just pornstars under different names, all of them. I remember spoofing a site and looking at the webcam listing (camz.com) of shows, had a girl people recognized from the bangbus site who was laughing that anybody thought it was amateur, and bitched about how much she got payed compared to a normal porn.Anyways, I think even asking that modeling question would get me arrested here in the u.s. asap, heh.Why would it get you arrested? You're not asking for sex. You're not asking for prostitution. You're asking for a woman to model for you, you could just as well ask a man to model for you too.Quote:Originally Posted by aquamarine[...]There are twice as many porn stars in the USA than there is in Japan.And the U.S. population is like what: more than double than that of Japan?Still doesn't change the fact.Before I proceed let me tell you beforehand that I am not really agree with the japanese culture view on sexuality, but I will write as objective as possible, hopely to answer question asked: Why is porn so rampant in japan.Well, the fact is, how the japanese look at sex is quite different from the rest of us who mostly live in a western countries. It's their culture that sees sexual need as just another need that has to be channeled.Both the men and the girls, they consider sex is just another daily need like, say, their need of food. When you're in japan, it is not strange to see a man riding on the subway reading porn. Also in bookshops, people don't feel shy to browse porn magazine / photobook. It's not strange to see someone drinking coke on the subway, correct?Some people consider the Japanese are immoral, because they choose to let loose their sexual need freely. As we all know, the western countries tried to push japanese to take action on the porn which involve those below 18yo. The problem is that the westerners tried to judge Japanses culture by comparing to the western culture. This is unfair, because we cannot judge other culture by comparing to ours.Thus, I think it's the best for all of us to let the japanese to decide how to channel their sexual need...@ aquamarineHow come it doesn't change the facts? You can't look at this kind of social aspects from the point of view of absolute numbers.So you've got X number of performers for Japan's 127.43 million and a Y number for USA's 305.75 million and you tell me that there are twice as many porn stars in USA? That's almost a 1 byte piece of information the way you put it.What you have to show is that the number of porn performers (star being a somewhat relative word) in USA makes up a double percentage of the population compared to that of Japan. Then I'll be able to size the eventual differences.Otherwise, the way you put it, the whole 50 population of Pitcairn Islands could be shooting porn round the clock and this wouldn't make porn "rampant" in the mentioned state.Yeah - Pitcairn Islands have really bad statistical values.50% of the male adults are convicted sex offenders.Japan is an innocent paradise compared to Pitcairn IslandsWhy is porn so rampant in the USA?That should really be the question here since America has a larger adult industry with even more money tied up in it.The cost of porn in Japan is ridiculous. Something like $35+ per DVD when you would pay half that price for the same thing in the US. The cost of production is relatively the same, but the demand on the market isn't in comparison to larger countries like the USA.I've yet to meet a Japanese guy who actually watches JAV. Not because he doesn't want to watch it, or is too embarassed to admit watching it, but because it is so expensive there even by Japanese standards. Most guys have other things they would rather spend their money on than an embarrassment. Gosh, and do they find it embarrassing! Good luck trying to get a Japanese guy to actually watch a porno with you or something.I don't think we realize just how common it is in the US for people to watch and even discuss porn with each other, like we're doing right now on this forum. Despite how open Japan is about advertising adult material and making it easily available, we're really much more liberal regarding this subject in the west. Porn in the US is now a socially accepted cultural norm. I don't know if the same can really be said about Japan.
