College girls [in Japan] put their whoring behind them Options

[andrew]

Oh boy... only in Japan (read down towards the end). For those who aren't aware, middle-school girl prostitution was a rather large problem in Japan until relatively recently.

College girls put their whoring behind them

Anybody on the lookout for a bit of bush on Japanese college campuses these days is more likely to find the George W variety than anything else as female university students' lower bodies have turned neo-conservative, according to Spa! (5/13) .

Gone are the days when female university students could be relied upon to staff Japan's myriad sex services or simply spread their goodwill, and their legs, for all and sundry.

Instead, according to the weekly, a combination of excess, repulsion and horror have seen Japan's female university students clam up and regard fornication with frigidity.

Female university students in today's early Noughties are the same schoolgirls who were most active when enjo kosai, the euphemism for prostitution literally translated as compensated dating, was at its peak in the late '90s. But that same enjo kosai has caused many to turn off the tap.

"Having sex just to pick up a bit of pocket money is outright stupid. I can't understand how anybody could ever prostitute themselves," Rie, a second-year student, tells Spa! "I don't do one night stands, either. I did once, but I felt like a slut afterward and have regretted it ever since."

Tomoko, also a second-year student, is another turned off by the idea of enjo kosai and playing around.

"I only have sex with my boyfriend and it's absolutely exquisite," she tells Spa! "All those girls who play around with everybody must have no idea how good it is if you only do it with one guy."

Some girls standing off are simply plum tuckered out after playing around for years during their schooldays. Others think chastity arises from maturity.

"When I was in high school, it was almost a status symbol to go off and have sex with a good-looking guy you'd just met," second-year student Risa tells Spa! "Recently, though, I've come to think that one-night stands are something that high schoolgirls do. Now that I'm in university, it's become more interesting to see just how far you can string a man along. Getting picked up really easily is for dorks."

Sexually transmitted diseases can also take some of the blame for female university students' newfound sexual conservatism. Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare statistics show chlamydia rates grew sixfold in the time the average Japanese girl began high school and the time she graduated. In addition, one in every 13 female university students has contracted the same STD. As a result, some who'd still love to be playing around, simply can't.

"My experience with guys runs into triple figures. I've picked up some just for sex, sold myself off and picked up plenty to show for it, too ... chlamydia, gonorrhea, herpes, genital warts," first-year student Ayaka tells Spa! "The state of my body now means that I can't go looking for a sex or a boyfriend any more."

Horrific experiences resulting from teen-age promiscuity have also turned some university students off sex.

"When I was in my first year at high school, it was the in thing to go out hitch-hiking and offer yourself up to any guy who picked you up," Yoshimi, a second-year student, tells Spa! "As a result, I've been dragged out into the middle of the countryside and dumped on the side of the road, I've been gang-raped in a car in suburban Tokyo and I've had a light bulb shatter after it was shoved up my vagina. Ever since then, I simply can't stand the sight of men."

There are some rather disturbing things in this article...

And, of course, this:

 "As a result, I've been dragged out into the middle of the countryside and dumped on the side of the road, I've been gang-raped in a car in suburban Tokyo and I've had a light bulb shatter after it was shoved up my vagina.

Anyways, it is certainly a good thing that attitudes are beginning to change over there among the young people.

It is indeed a good thing that opinion seems to be veering away from the practises of the past, however one has to question how deeply rooted such a shift is based purely on the evidence of the article. I mean: "Getting picked up really easily is for dorks", from some of the quotes in the article it would appear the current moodswing is just another temporary fad or change in what is deemed cool. Oh the joys of highschool mentality...

Thats easy, you just need to give them an image makeover, adverts with Jesuits on surfboards, Jesuits in Ferraris and whatnot and you'll have them eating out of your hand i'm sure.

For god's sake (pun intended) leave them alone. Missionaries just piss off people in Japan, and pay little heed to the local customs and religion. How would you like it if masses of Japanese came here to attempt to do away with your Christian heritage and convert you to Shinto?

If anything, if the malaise continues in Japan, I wouldn't be terribly surprise to see a return to nationalism. The mayor of Tokyo is well know for authoring the book "The Japan that can say no" -- which decries America, and denies that Japan committed war atrocities during WWII.

Indeed, when I was there a few months ago, there were black buses blaring WWII-era songs and slogans calling for a return to the empire. Needless to say, a country that has lost some of its self-image is ripe for a nationalist cause to rally behind. Combine that with their recent rumblings of amending their peaceful constitution, stir in their amazing manufacturing ability and the need to employ people in their construction industry, and things could get interesting in Japan.

And, just for good measure, throw in a nearby rogue state that is threatening the United States and its allies, which includes Japan, with a nuclear strike.

Not to mention the mentions of a nuclear program, which, unlike North Korea, Japan has both the scientific know-how and resources to fully pursue should it so choose...

Oh yeah. With the Japanese manufacturing capabilities, they could make a nuke the size of a change purse (perhaps with a "Hello Kitty" face on it?)

All the more reason to keep the Japanese as our friends.

No, nuclear weapons are more your "adult" toy. It'd have poorly written English crudities on it and would vibrate if you plugged it into a wall socket. Actually, scratch the wall socket, the nuclear material would double as a self-contained power generator.

That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger."

Nuclear powered vibrators? My man, you may have very well hit on a killer product idea. It'll even glow in the dark so you can see what you're doing, and as a perk, can power your entire house as well, and the radiation would make epilady's a thing of the past.

Call up Japan, let's invest in it!

/me pretends that this thread has a chance of being on-topic again.

I remember a pair of Jehovah's witnesses coming to my family's door in Japan to hand out tracts and minister. They were quite surprised at being turned away by a bunch of Christian gaijin. The situation was even more amusing since they were Japanese.

Many people in Japan are turning away from the ancient religious traditions, which are more a collection of superstition and national mythology than a Western style theology. Fringe cults are surprisingly common. Our Japanese next door neighbor was considering joining a Branch-Davidian style group.
