Japan is very expensive and crowded and people would rather have small families. The population growth of Japan is actually slowing and may reverse.

Although, if true, not being able to get BCP's in Japan is fucked up. That's a lot of condoms to have to count on.

You're right. This is the first year in history that Japan's population is actually declining. There are lots of reasons for this; but I place primary blame on the fact that the whole culture is just so damn shy/introverted. Gorgeous single women everywhere in bars/clubs, and the guys are too shy to chat.

You're also right in that Japan is extremely advanced. There's nothing in the US that you can't get here (besides some OTC drugs, good deodorant, and condoms that'll actually fucking fit a 6' American.)

As far as getting upset about ppl not knowing the difference between Japan and China, I dunno; on a personal level it's sometimes irritating when family members back home fuck it up, 'cause I'm married to a Japanese girl, beyond that, I'm just sometimes suprised that ppl have so little awareness about the world's #2 economy.

A Taiwanese girlfriend of my Taiwanese girlfriend had a boyfriend who was Japanese. We all had lunch together. My girlfriend asked me to be on my best behavior, but as a connoisseur of Japanese cinema I just had to know. After a reasonable amount of time talking about the weather, the topic turned to her love life.

At the first opportunity I asked, Is your boyfriend nice?

Hes very sweet, she said.

So he wipes off your face after sex?

Needless to say I got the kick in the shin, but fuckI dont direct their porn, I just watch it. All the Japanese people Ive met are polite to a fault, but it makes me wonder: behind the mask, what sick sexual thoughts are going through their mind?

That's not to say the older generation is taking the threat of limited grandchildren well-- I read not too long ago that the government actually proposed (never passed anything, mind you) a national holiday aimed at upping the population. In other words, a "go home and screw" day. It got shot down pretty quickly, but really-- how awesome would that be?

Anyway, drunk Japanese are the opposite of shy. That's why we party so much here. Without good ol' "liquid conversation," most business deals would never get done, and more generally, no one would ever speak their mind freely.

You're 100% right, I just didn't want to write a tome earlier. I was just sayin' that the *primary reason noone is humping here is cause they're all introverts. Drunks are a different story, but the result is the same; noone is fucking.

I also read a recent article on msnbc (i think) that said that Japan is adopting more western standards of practicing business, where generally people are rewarded on merit and not seniority. So none of the j-youngins are moving out of mom and dad's place cause of the competition, and fulltime work is harder to come by.

Yeah- I have a love/hate relationship with the kids on their bikes rushing home from juku at night when I'm coming home from shopping or work. I hate getting almost run-over by bicycles, but at the same time I know these kids are studying after school for a better life.. (well, they don't see the future, really, but do it 'cause their friends go and mom says so).

AhahahHAHAHAHAH! That's great. Visit Osaka, I'll buy you two beers for that.

In more than one coversation I've found that life does really imitate art.

Me: So how does your boyfriend get you off?

Her (casual as can be): Well, he's small, so I can only cum when he uses his fingers.

Me: Ahemm. Really. More than one eh?

Her: Yeah, sometimes.

Me: Check please!

fembot- I think I love you.

Anyway- One liberating thing about sex in Japan is that the wives almost *expect* the man to cheat a little. As long as the woman doesn't hear about it, then it's ok. The important thing is that the man provides support and comes home most nights. Most japanese couples today don't even sleep together, but have separate roll-away futons, and maybe scoot 'em together if they wanna fuck. None of this king sized katg tempurpedic nonsense. ( it's not nonsense. my wife and i are paying off the same mattress as well.)

As for you, fembot, do you diddle in any of your local host club establishments?

If I ever get tired of this whole day-job thing, I'm making a bee-line straight for Kabuki-cho (Tokyo's Red Light District).

I think you should.

The only drawback is that you have to spend evening hours away from your loved ones.

As far as I know, most hostess clubs are quite respectable (despite the yakuza element) and the guys behave themselves. If you're even slightly attractive and your Japanese is above-retard, you can do quite well. I've taught over a thousand 1 to 1 lessons, and it's mostly all wives (you know this already) who are bored/feel neglected. I've seriously thought about the host club scene, but I fear for my liver.

These are all valid reasons as to why I want to live in Japan. The culture and people fascinate me and I probably watch more Asian cinema than American cinema and no I'm not talking about porn.

BTW I've read somewhere that alot of Americans and Europeans work at the host clubs. Is that true?

I haven't run across or seen any foreign guys working in host clubs, but girls, hellz yeah... but they're almost always eastern european/russian. There've been stories about how the yaks will bring 'em over on an 'entertainment' visa, then snag their passport until the girls can buy 'em back.

Saw a documentary a while back... and some of the more popular male hosts bring in $30K month.
