Analysis of Japanese society’s attitude towards erotica from the perspective of historical culture

Japan passed the Spring Sale Prevention Act by Congress in 1956, declaring that sex transactions are illegal and need to be banned. But the magic is that the Japanese metropolis must have a red light district and a playground for adults. Such as striptease, bars with girls to accompany drinks, cowboy shops, massage shops, tea shops, personal viewing yellow video specialty shops, and even special shops for voyeur erotic performances. What is more exaggerated is that the so-called bath center (Soap Land) in Japan actually provides physical transactions, and all of them need to be registered with the Japanese police.

Why is it not illegal to provide such a service in a bath center? There is a rather interesting argument. Because the bathing girls and male guests in the bathing center fully relax and have physical contact during the bathing process, love may be generated under this atmosphere, and the relationship becomes a matter of course under free will.

The Japanese sometimes use some generous things to do things that should be covered up, which is always ridiculous.

Kabukicho in Tokyo, Japan is a large red-light district in Japan. In this place, various erotic advertisements tell you that this is the place to buy spring.

In addition to the red light district, the newspaper and magazine areas in the convenience stores and bookstores are also fair and well-stocked with pornographic books or pornographic films and erotic place guides for people to choose (there are plastic model books to prevent minors from watching directly) for purchase.

Now let you feel that as long as you are an adult male, these sexual services are readily available and can be easily discussed in public. Many people believe that because of this booming erotic industry, Japan’s sexual assault and sexual crimes have been reduced to some extent, and it has also greatly eased people’s emotional pressure.

The primitive religion in Japan is Shintoism, which worships nature as its spirit. It is quite primitive nature worship, ancestor worship, and reproductive worship. As with many primitive tribes on the African and Pacific islands, the worship of the penis and vulva is an important component. In ancient times, frequent intercourse between men and women can bring the population to the tribe, so this behavior is encouraged by itself. Such a thing is a common phenomenon in which humans have not yet evolved civilization in the early days, and indulgence itself is encouraged.

Until the construction of human society began, there was the concept of family and marriage. At the same time, almost all human religions would oppose extramarital sex. What’s more, they encouraged believers to control their desires, and the restraint on sex continued to strengthen. The control of chastity is common at home and abroad. It can even be said that as long as religion is prosperous, virgins are valued. What’s more, the emphasis on chastity has become more restrictive of women’s autonomy. The development of the chastity concept severely limits women’s autonomy and freedom.

However, Japan has no such evolution, and slowly builds its own country by the faith of Shintoism and the way of a matriarchal society.

For a long time in Japanese history, it was popular to visit marriage until the early Meiji period in Japan (early nineteenth century). Marriage is a common marital status in a matrilineal society, which means that after marriage, men and women still live in their own homes, and only live in the girls’ homes at night.

In the form of visiting marriage, men and women do not have a strong possessiveness of each other’s bodies. The man only needs the woman to own him that night. In the matriarchal society, people do not impose moral criticism on the matter of sex. Therefore, the relationship between the freedom of men and women is very common in ancient Japan.

Due to the custom of visiting marriage, men and women will not live too far, and it is difficult to avoid marriage between close relatives. Without sexual and moral control, once a man enters his wife’s home, he can freely have relationships with women or sisters other than his wife. Even adult sons can come to their mothers’ homes. There are many incest incidents in Japan, and this will not be criticized.

Around the sixth century AD, Buddhism was introduced to Japan. After the Dahua reform since 645 AD, Confucianism has gradually influenced Japan, and gradually has the concept of ethics and chastity, but that only affects the high-level ruling class. For civilians, there is nothing Too much impact. For the part of temperance and even abstinence, the Japanese are indifferent. In Japan, Buddhism even gives monks the right to marry their wives and have children.

Since ancient times, Japan has been a very serious class country, and the privileged class above the samurai has the right to have money and power. People must have something in order to start paying attention to the value of ownership. And if the concept of chastity is formed because men have stronger sexual possessiveness than women, of course, the possessiveness of the class with more privileges will be higher.

After the introduction of Confucianism to Japan and the combination of Bushido, it began to have a moral concept called chastity. In the Edo period, due to the introduction of Song Ming Confucianism and Yang Mingxue, the Tokugawa Shogunate began to hope to restrain women in Japan with women’s ethics. There was a punishment decree for acts such as adultery.

In 1742, the Edo Shogunate published the “100 Articles of the Imperial Order” and sentenced the adulterous samurai wife and lovers to death. However, if the wife of a businessman is cheating, it can be settled with money and judged according to the different classes of peasants, peasants, and industry.

The irony is that the concept of chastity that a woman’s life can only be loyal to a man is actually driven by high-level men who have many wives. In economic terms, chastity is the rationality of a privileged class of men monopolizing resources for all women and men of lower strata.

In China, the concept of virginity is combined with the concept of virginity. Many men care whether they are female first love and first night.

This is not important in Japan. A virgin is something that needs to be abandoned.

After the Meiji Restoration, the Japanese quickly entered the modern business society. The idea of ​​attaching importance to the spirit of the contract began. Under the notion of contract, it is necessary to strictly implement things after signing the contract. Marriage is like a contract. Both parties can freely discuss business before the two parties sign the contract, so after marriage, the couple needs to be loyal to each other, and before marriage, that is not too important.

The Japanese man thinks that after marriage, he only owns the future of his wife, not the past.

The idea of ​​many Chinese women is that if they can’t find true love in this life, they can maintain a pure body for a lifetime, which is a very noble thing, and even having sex has been a stain on women. In fact, a large part of this concept is also due to the importance of men themselves, to marry can only be tied to the virgin.

In Japan, because of free sexual concepts and attitudes, sex is only an act to please both parties, and it is not impossible to talk or be moral. Therefore, a virgin actually represents jerky immaturity and cannot be happy on the flesh. Japanese high school girls even laughed at their classmates and friends who were virgins, saying that they were not welcome by the opposite sex. On the other hand, those men and women with great skills and powerful appeal are generally popular in Japanese society. So we can also see descriptions of mocking virgins in many Japanese comics.

In the early Japanese adult action film actress Iijima Ai, in addition to real live performances, also joined drama performances and even talk shows, and even became a best-selling author. Next, Mr. Aoi, who is well-known to the majority of men, was not worried and tried many new performance opportunities. It is difficult to imagine if it is not in a society like Japan.

Due to the openness of sexuality, even though the marriage contract is in many Japanese families, it is only for the purpose of economic life and the formation of future generations. Marriage derailment is certainly wrong, but it doesn’t feel too guilty about her husband and family. In the 1990s, a very serious social problem in Japanese society was an injustice (that is, cheating on an affair), so Junichi Watanabe’s novel Paradise Lost is very popular in Japan, and it also reflects some extent that the importance of lust itself is higher than marriage. Contract.

The Japanese drama “Lovers!” in the 1990s is about the story of two couples derailing each other and then re-matching, which is also widely welcomed and recognized in Japan.

In Japan, the sanctity of marriage is no higher than love.

In 1682, the famous Japanese novel “Lecherous Generation Man” published by the author Ichihara Nishizu was very enjoyable in the color description, full of sensory stimulation, and highly praised in the Japanese literary world. The novel tells the story that the protagonist Sasuke went to Huaxiang Liuxiang across the country at the age of nineteen, and the prostitute brothel made a good practice. This is simply an erotic novel and night guide for the Edo period in Japan.

This novel was all the rage in the Edo period, and Ichihara Nishizu is known as a master of modern Japanese literature. It is also worth mentioning that the illustrations of the novel were produced by the painter Rinkawa Shishu. Lingchuan’s wonderful paintings have been flirted with men, women, and even erotic paintings, and became the ancestor of the so-called ukiyo-e.

In the mid-Edo period, ukiyo-e was generally referred to as a place of wind and moon, so a print dedicated to depicting the joy of citizens was called ukiyo-e. Ukiyo-e is a unique way of expressing artistic paintings in Japan, but it was popular at the beginning because of erotic paintings.

As can be seen from the novel, in the seventeenth century in the Edo period of Japan, various entertainment venues of Fengyue have been very developed. There are already developed nationwide tour guides (brothels, red-light districts). Men’s lustful demeanor is a commendable trait, and there are a lot of special service areas that provide entertainment.

Since Japan’s attitude towards sex has been quite open since ancient times and has not been subject to moral criticism, even today, buying spring in Japan is a matter of no moral pressure. For many married men, because of the pressure to get off work, it is not difficult to be embarrassed to spend money embracing a young body after work, and it can even be boasted.

It is also because sexual harassment is very common in Japan because of the lack of moral pressure on sex and the high intensity of pressure in modern society. To alleviate such sexual assaults, it is to provide a large number of erotic services. The development of Japanese adult films is the product of such a historical and cultural framework.

In 2015 in Japan, there are incomplete statistics of about 9,000 AV actresses, there will be 100 AV works every day, and 6,000 actresses will debut every year.

Therefore, we will see many beautiful women with beautiful bodies go to the sea to shoot adult movies. Similarly, there will be a large consumer population, and a large number of overseas exports will be used as sexual enlightenment materials for many young men.

You can find almost any erotic service in Japan. But in such a country with such convenient access to sexual resources, as times have evolved, Japan today has the largest asexual population.

In a 2015 survey by the British media BBC in Japan, 43% of young people aged 18-34 said they had never had sex.
