So I'm browsing the NN Lounge, see a Google ad up top for:

Japanese Adult Goods Shop
Genuine Japanese Adult Shop We'll deliver around the world
"Hmmm", thinks your intrepid Uncle Doof, "perhaps there may, perchance, be amply-glanded Japanese totty modelling exquisite intimate apparel within boundaries of site, through which to further study clothing design and application".

I didn't patronise it - I was only mildly contemptuous towards it.

You should never attempt to understand the Japanese.
A society of beings that has a seperate numbering system for every goshdarn frickin thing should never be questioned, so forget smelling farts.

Okay.

There was a rather disturbing fart video going round last year or the year before, advertising brazil fetish . com

That there schoolgirl fart vid is thus old news, I guess.


That said, I think that in some cases, NOT being able to understand something is a sign of mental well-being.

A few weeks ago, I went to a porn store with a friend of mine so she could buy some... umm... supplies. While she was looking at.. stuff.. I went and looked through the videos.

1) All genitals are pixelated.
2) No one needs to see eel porn.
3) No one ever needs to see gay sumo porn.

I love the fact that Japan has some of the strangest porn (earth worm! OH MY GOD) yet sees the need to pixelate everything. You can buy porn everywhere, you can buy really weird sexy action figures everywhere, and no one seems to have a problem with sex, YET they seem to need to pixelate everything. Hell, prostitution is mostly legal here (No, I don't know from experience.)

Japan is really weird. At least they outlawed the pantie vending machines in my area.

I'm guessing the Eel Porn and the Earth Worm comment are in reference to the tentacle rape hentai stuff. Shudder.

As I understand it, the abundance of eel/tentacle/fish sex is largely a consequence of the the post‑WWII occupation forcing US‑morality into the Japanese legal system in the form of genital censorship.

Midori explores the Japanese fetish of tentacle porn.

Mixed blessing, I guess. If it weren't for the one, you might not have the other.

Yes, I've seen tentacle `porn' in a hentai once (they used to show anime on a German TV channel late at night a few years ago), the father wanted to punish his daughter. Too bad he was a tentcle monster with penises at the end of his tentacles … I was just thinking wow! (The rest of it seemed like the usual high-tech anime with robots and stuff, so I didn't quite expect this.)

Japanese are kinky. Read: kinky.
When you walk into any larger manga store and look through the hentai section, I'm pretty sure about half of it would be outlawed in Europe for pedophilia. Gross.
I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy every minute of it.

I not sure I'm buying the whole genital censorship leads to octopus on girl rape, but at any rate: tentacle porn is messed up huge.

Tentacle porn has been around for at least two hundred years.

Do a search on wikipedia for "Dream of the Fisherman's Wife".

It's an old woodprint by Hokusai.

No. Actual eels and actual earth worms.

Shall I allude to the details? Eels coming out of places they shouldn't. Naked women cover in live earth worms.

Yes. It is scary.

I remember Something Awful (in their Horrors of Pornography section) had a bit about Japanese bug eating porn. That's really really really f'd up.

Is a significant sector of their populace a consumer of that type of entertainment, or is it really fringe, but augmented by the media?

i don't doubt there are japanese videos with real eels used in sexual acts, but note that ウナギ is not just used for "eel"

While we're on the subject.
How many Japanese animated lesbian porn scenes are ruined when one of the women suddenly sprout an enormous penis? What's up with that?

Even if the porn has no penises in it, be very careful. (I had to take breaks reading this because it was so funny!)

Gotta love Az's web site. Make sure you check out GaijinSmash.net. He has some great insights into Japanese porn and society.

Sure, I've read a lot of his stories, I got to know his page when I was still in Japan … 
I'm sure I wouldn't have believed some of them if I hadn't been there
