online child prostitution

[OS]

"The girl started looking for customers on Web sites in the summer, when she was 13 years old.

She did not need to make a living. She only wanted pocket money.

She said she found a customer as soon as she posted a message reading, "80,000 yen. Let's meet at a local place."

She uses the money men give her to buy designer clothes and cosmetics. When she runs out of money, she looks for customers through Web sites again, police quoted her as saying. "

80K yen is about 700 dollars.

Is Japan not the same country that has vending machines that sell worn panties of young girls?

It's not as horrifically taboo in Japan as in the US as I understand it. Supposedly it's not uncommon for men to look towards underage girls for sex in Japan (ever heard of Japanese school girls? :Q ) and this naturally brings in prostitution.

It's kind of a dirty secret of Japanese society that outsiders don't really know about. Of course, thx to the internet, more people are learning about these Japanese fetishes and stuff.

I have some friends who know a bit about Japanese culture.

And drinking it in the street is legal

It's funny, Japanese culture is full of sex and nakedness and similar stuff but it's an issue that's never discussed directly. Very little or no sex ed, no parental discussions, yet tv and comics and even the papers are full of it.

btw, I know they have the vending machines but I've never stumbled upon one yet.

This is not the first case of this that I have heard of in Japan. It seems to be a growing trend. There is even a unique Japanese word that is used to describe this practise. I can't remember the word but the english literal translation is "paid dating" or something like that.

Japan is a portrait of the perversion the blows out the sides of society when put in a vice grip of conformity. Their post WWII existence is like some sort of militaristic men-as-cogs machine which would put even the most die hard communist dreams to shame. Freakdom, is the only way you can describe it, although they prefer "hentai" which means pervert.

Their economy is in shambles, and the old-world/new-world dichotomy within which they live is all the more scary.

" In Japan in 1993 previously-worn panties were being offered for sale in vending machines. The used underwear had supposedly been worn by schoolgirls and were being sold for the equivalent of US $50 apiece."

It takes all kinds...

Me personally? I don't find little girls sexually attractive, they are children, not adults. *ick*

It's enjo-kousai or enkou for short.
Literally translated it means "assisted relationship" Like finding a patron

Well, in many East Asian societies, 13- or 14-year-old concubines were not uncommon.

And Japan has a tradition of being open to sexual matters. A Japanese history professor once told me about this very graphic and detailed sex manual written by a mother for her daughter before she got married.

As much as I do not like 13-year-old prostitution, it is not as big of a taboo in Japan, although the modern Japanese culture has changed a lot.

Seems like it's okay in Japan.
