As sglad pointed out, Japanese is truly an amazing language. You can get all that into just 4 single characters! Fantastic!
I have never quite worked out why, but it is a legal requirement. Odd, given that the Japanese happily go around totally naked in public baths and hot springs. But I believe it goes back to a law enacted at the end of the 19th century when western morals started to be adopted by a Japan only recently opened up to the outside world after more than 250 years of isolation. Odd, too, that despite the American occupation forces enacting laws about freedom of speech etc., that modesty in the depiction of pornography was not at the top of the list of laws to be changed!!
I don't get this either.
The Japanese are not at all shy about undressing, as can be seen in public baths. Also a good percentage of the Asian public & group nudity shots on the internet are from Japan.
Yet the law requires genitals to be obscured in porn.
I remember checking out each floor in a Tokyo electrical store once. I got on the escalator on perhaps the 5th floor, looked up and at the top of the escalator was a plasma screen with a porn movie running. Could you imagine that in Currys ?
To me, the whole pixellation law seems both outdated & contrasts with the relaxed Japanese attitudes to nudity.
Also, I wish they would produce export versions of the videos, with no pixellation. I wouldn't think that's against the law.
The pixellation has to be added in later, so presumably they can only ban the sale of such material, not the production ?
Sorry arsenal but I absolutely cannot agree with the food part - and some of the sex has been great too. Chinese is one of the great cuisines of the word with amazing variety - Cantonese, Shanghainese, spicy Szechuan, Chiu Chow (the extraordinary subtlety in the slow cooked Beggar's Chicken), Beijing, Hunanese - and so on. I have to have some Chinese regularly
Totally agree. There are quite a few videos without pixellation but they tend not to have the cutest guys. JapanBoyz is one such internet site but if you look at some of the more general gay Asian porn sites you do come across quite a few much longer unpixellated videos. The pixellated ones are certainly filmed naturally, but I guess the problem for producers is that as soon as a video is released for export without pixellation, it would appear on the internet within days if not hours. I remember having a short correspondence about 15 years ago with the Californian producers of a long series of Thai videos. I was pissed off that they would not send the DVDs to anywhere in Asia. It was the same reason. They reckoned they'd quickly be on the streets of Bangkok. So he only sent to addresses in the USA and Europe.
