More on School Girl Prostituion in Japan
I’d like to copy the entire text, but alas, that would be stealing. I’ll post enough to stimulate you to click the link. Fascinating reading.
The minimum age for having/selling sex in Tokyo is 14. Even though it is difficult to measure maturity, a Japanese 14-yearold is certainly less mature than a Norwegian at the same age rated on a Western scale. (I still haven’t figured out what the Japanese scale is like)…
So girls in my class tell me that it is completely accepted morally for 14-year olds to sell sex and that they have no problems with it. Mothers don’t care. Teachers don’t care. Girls are expelled for smoking, but they are allowed to sell sex. Teachers may of course also take advantage of the students. In junior high schools it is normal for girls to give their teachers massages. And in high school teachers who sleep with students are not at all unknown…
You may wonder why not more foreigners go to Japan to buy sex, the answer is: PRICES.
I can give you some examples. A girl I know sold her virginity for 1 million yen (60000NOK 10000 USD). That’s a lot of money, even in Japan a teenager can live on 10000 bucks for a while.

The author has her heart in the right place, but she lacks the depth of understanding to arrive at the correct conclusions. Today’s reader must understand that Japan’s cultural acceptance of underage sex has changed a LOT since 1996. While it is still possible to have sex with underage women in Japan, any foreigner attempting to do so WILL GO TO JAIL.
“a Japanese 14-yearold is certainly less mature than a Norwegian at the same age rated on a Western scale”
- Wrong. A Japanese woman born in 1990 is as developed as her Western counterparts. The Japanese woman lacks the extraneous body fat, but she is otherwise at the same level.
- This info was largely true in 1996, but NOT in 2004.
“You may wonder why not more foreigners go to Japan to buy sex, the answer is: PRICES.”
- The real answer: BIGOTRY. The Japanese are none confrontational (and put up with white people quite well) - but they are definitely not fans of their ladies shacking up with foreigners.
Today there is not a single ‘Age of Consent’. Instead, there is a sliding scale including permutations of: underage (below 20 years old), adult (20 or over), as well as between Japanese and foreigner. It is still acceptable for underage Japanese to engage in sex under VERY PARTICULAR circumstances - but NOT WITH FOREIGNERS.
Bottom line: if you are a foreigner in Japan, the girl MUST be 20 or older. If not, YOU WILL GO TO JAIL. In decades past it was easier for a foreigner to have casual sex with a girl under 14 - but if that is tried today YOU WILL GO TO JAIL.
