that's interesting that prostitution would be legal in Japan. Although I'm completely sure on how it is punished in the US. However, I think it is outlawed in the US to reduce other criminal acts.

The women in Japan seem to be smaller than most other country's women so I'm not sure the men have much choice. Personally, I don't care whether they're smaller or taller or which country they come from.

I think that prostitution is only legal in parts of Japan. Also, Japan has had a lot of problems with child/teenaged prostitution (they have an article about this in the New York Times). Here, in the U.S., prostitution is illegal except for this one county outside of Las Vegas. It's usually punished by little or no jail time and the prostitutes get in trouble more often than the men do (typical!). I'm going to look into that thing about Japanese people having sex outside of their marriage and it being okay. I know that was practiced about one to two hundred years ago, but I've gotten the impression that that practice is now frowned upon. But I don't know for sure.

If/when I get married and my husband ever "went out to play"...let's just say I'd be doing jail time. Think Lorena Bobbit Twisted Evil

. By the way, I happen to like my "Christian box" (though, my box might not be as "conservative" as yours Wink

).

I'm assuming you're refering back to the idea of "going out to play" BladeAngel. Here's a bit of reasoning I just thought of:

Although, I'm not familiar with Japanese culture I do know enough of Western history to know that we've nearly always had a patriachal society. This society usually says that when wed a man owns the woman. Today, society is changing to where women are being seen as equals to men. I do not think this changes the "ownership" quality that is included with being married. However, today the ownership is equal in that the woman "owns" the man she marries and vise-versa. This ownership is usually fairly intimate to the point where a spouse considers their partner to be not just their property but also a part of their self. With this all said, if one's spouse goes and cheats on you it's similar to having your right hand stab yourself in your own back. Now, if one heals from being stabbed you usually don't let it happen again, so you cut off that hand.

What I'm getting at is that I think the mentality of marriage participants today in the Western world are not suitable to allow their spouse's to "go out and play". It may be too much to consider now, but I think a mentality that would be more suitable in marriage would be one of trust and love. Trust, in that no matter what a person does outside a marriage, that they will always return to you and love, in that your spouse will love you more than any other. So, if your partner wants to "play" outside and long as it is mutual then it could be possible.

sorry i didn't post for a while

ok i kinda agree with you bladeangle but your thinking and the way japanese people think about marriage are not the same. remember they dont go with someone else to get a break from their spouse. they still love the person they married, but after the wife has a babe. she is looked apon as a mother nothing else. so now the husband can go out with someone else to have fun and stuff(not sure if the wife can) but he cant start loving that person. if he does.......well lets just say it not good.

the people they go out and "play" with(in most cases) are people they dont even know. the women find out about the male by calling on them to find out what kind of a person he is. if they dont like him, they dont show up at the place they were supposed to meet. so here the women have the choice of either showing up or not showing up. so if the female feels like she is cheating on her spouce if she goes out she can choose not to. or vice-versa. i hope u can see what i'm trying to get at. yes love is love where ever u are. but love also depends on the persons thinking. like a son would love his mother in a respecting way and his wife in a romantic way. and as u might have heard "if u love somethin u let it free"(or something). i guess this is what they are doing. if they want anothere relationship(as long as it doesnt envolve love an opposite sex othere than their spouse) they can go right ahead and have one. but they STILL LOVE THEIR SPOUSE(sp). if they dont(like i said before) it is not good.

ps. bladeangel u do have a point

What I think you are missing, bladeangle, is that the Japanese have seperated love and sex. Sex is just an enjoyment, not an act of love. Like if you get married and go out and play tennis(not the best example but you get my point) with someone of the opposite sex, you are not cheating on your spouce. So you see, by having sex with someone that's not your spouce, you are just doing it for fun. If you like something sexual, but your spouce does not, this is just a way to enjoy it.

That's my 2 cents.

I did a project for my speech class on the Japanese educational system, and i discovered a few other things too.. IIRC, prostitution in japan is no longer legal, but they do have massage houses in things called "water districts" if i am remembering that right.. not to sure any more. I am pretty sure that its not legal, but i am sure that it still goes on.. I just cant remember.. Nor do i remember the reason why it became illegal, but i think its because the Japanese felt "embarrassed" and "behind" other cultures.. IIRC, thats why they made it illegal.. then again i am not to sure about this stuff so dont quote me on it..

**Posted:** Tue Dec 16, 2003 3:44 am

Kazekage (#27895)

Yeah, I remember hearing about the water districts. It's were you pay to get messaged by women. Naked women, who rube the massage oil on their bodies then rube themselves on you.

I wrote another huge post to further show you all what I meant and about sex but, I earased it when I came to the conclusion that I am wasteing my time trying to explain myself further. This is the reason I havent responded since my last post. I was hopig this subject had ended. I guess I was just trying to "agree to disagree".So this is my last post on this issue.

Thanks. I think it was fine to say that, it just shows that this board has kept my intrest. Here this will help put things in perspective, I've posted on atleast 100 boards, but I've only posted regularly on 2(including this one). My sprees usualy only last 1 to 3 days, then I stop checking back, and forget about it.
