Fucked Up Japan

I thought this was a joke. I had heard rumors before, but I guess this confirms it. In a recent Mainichi Shinbun WaiWai article:

“In over 80 countries around the world, the age of consent is 16, but in Japan sex is only banned among those under 13. If 13-year-olds aren’t capable of judging whether it’s right or wrong to have sex, there’s not much to say that kids who are 14 or 15 will be able to decide any better. Japan must raise the age to consent to 16,” Akaeda tells Shukan Asahi. “Also, we need to have sex education in all junior high schools. When you drive a car, you need a license, right? Why should sex be any different? If kids don’t get good grades in sex education, they should be given remedial education until they thoroughly understand what’s going on.” (By Masuo Kamiyama)

A little further investigation reveals that although the national age of consent is in fact 13, most prefectures (governing districts) do in fact override it to 16. So what does this tell us? That the emperor, or the government, are perverts; but that local councils are not? Mayhaps…

Well, I’m damned if this isn’t one of the greatest ideas ever. As if Maid Cafes weren’t popular enough with the Otaku, this particular joint, LittlePSX in Akihabara, got hold of a couple of PS3 for customers to play together with one of the maids. This fantastic opportunity costs as little as 400 yen ($4 , 2 quid), including a photo op. with your maid! For double that, you can have a little bite to eat as well.

1. Waiting in line, a seemingly ravenous young male puts his hand up his girlfriends shirt, and in one deftly swift movement, pulls back out holding just her bra, the girl gasping for more. Another flick of the wrist later, and all is forgiven, as the bra has now become an attractive non-disposable carrier bag. The checkout assistant stuffs two plastic bags into their basket of goodies just in case though.
   A girl similar to the photo above goes shopping alone, wearing just bra and panties. After gathering an impressive audience, and reaching the checkout, she whips off her bra and shows the crowd her fantastic bag! The crowd, suffice to say, are looking elsewhere. It is now that Miss Environmentally Friendly realises she hasn’t actually put anything into her basket. Furthermore, she isnt even carrying a basket. She hastily escapes the gawking crowd and then spends 20 minutes in the loo trying to figure out how to change it back into a bra!

Spent the weekend shopping in Osaka and stayed in the infamous SM love hotel, Adonis. Though room was fairly small compared to most of it’s direct rivals, Gang Snowman, it did feature a nice big cage with a rotating bed and a de-facto cross on the wall. The free breakfast only consisted of a measly piece of toast and jam though - many places will do a decent fried egg and salad with a croisant.

Took advantage of the public holiday today and went to check out a sex museum hidden away in the countryside of Mie prefecture. Anyway, photos have been added to a new Sex Museums gallery album (click on the photos link at the top). Welcome to the hall of boobies!
