Prostitution Rife in Japanese Schools, Prices Below $30

Prostitution is said to be rampant in Japanese schools, with schoolgirls of ever younger ages selling their bodies for extra spending money, both to adults and amongst themselves.
Prices for girls in elementary school are said to have dropped below ¥3,000, leading some to wonder what has and will become of the nation’s public morals…
In many cases the prostitution is conducted through “deai-kei” sites, often relationship focused BBSes designed for use with mobile phones.
In one illustrative case, a middle school boy pimped out a thirteen-year-old girl for over ¥60,000 in total using such a site, whilst other schoolgirls used the site to sell their bodies themselves.
With these sites facilitating enjo kousai (“compensated dating”) to an unprecedented degree, a whole culture (or industry) of schoolgirl prostitution has sprung up, with girls being called “JC” in the slang of the sites, and with the large amounts of money involved encouraging involvement in the trade.
In a similar case to the above, a boy in middle school is said to have advertised “Recruiting JC in Kanagawa. You can make a lot so anyone looking for dates come to me,” and to have pimped out a 16-year-old girl for ¥40,000.
Such prices are said to be the exception rather than the rule, and prices drop even further when pupils engage in prostitution amongst themselves, or when they are younger, with high school students selling themselves to one another for a paltry ¥3,000, and middle school pupils charging even less.
These sites have been subjected to increased police scrutiny amidst a major police crackdown, but it appears that many sites have no difficulty in operating discretely without police supervision posing a problem.
Nationwide filtering of children’s access to the Internet is touted as a solution, and is now in effect, but it seems this rather underestimates the ingenuity of such children, particularly when large amounts of money are at stake.
The girls selling their bodies in this way have apparently been getting younger and younger, with elementary schoolers now increasingly turning to prostitution as an easy way of accumulating pocket money; an account of which is provided by the clinic:
“The age at which kids are getting into sex is getting lower. Even girls in middle school are becoming very sexually active. A high school boy came in recently with a second year middle school girl recently, and the pair had been sexually active. The boy asked me to tell his friend about STDs, although at least she was with a good boy.”
However, promotion of condoms has apparently kept pregnancies to a minimum. Even so, some girls are blasé about the matter, and are happy to be pregnant. Even teachers are said to turn a blind eye to pregnancies rather than have to get involved.
Additionally, sexually transmitted diseases appear to be making an impact. Disturbing reports from healthcare professionals indicate that in some clinics, up to 30% of patients were in their teens.
One case is described in lurid detail:
“There was a girl in the fifth year of elementary school who was doing enjo kousai, she was a groupie for talents. Her pantsu were always soiled [with blood], and she kept coming in with Chlamydia.”
The clinic staff warned her to stop having sex, but she persisted, and kept returning. Eventually she stopped visiting the clinic entirely.
Via J-Cast.
Amongst university students the practice of such informal prostitution is said to be even more common; Japan’s womanhood has at some point apparently became a mass commodity, and it is difficult to see any reasons why this should be the case, at least ones more helpful than “because they are harlots”.
It does however seem the traditional approach of only blaming the men (and boys) involved, and then subjecting them to criminal sanction, has only created a culture where schoolgirls boldly hawk themselves with impunity.
Possibly it may be time to consider why it is these girls are so ready to sell themselves for additional pocket money, and whether it is indeed appropriate to absolve them of all responsibility for their actions…

Ticket to japan
30$ in spending money
Why do you need to go to school?
To teach those girls a lesson. ;)
Give a lessson to your momma
Seriously, I wish I was back at school.
same here
I plan to teach English in Japan, I will be sure to do my part to support Japanese Economy!
Prepare to be promptly deported out.
he will probably get a promotion
Better first learn English before you try teaching it.
I once met a JET from South Africa, couldn't understand a fucking word of English the guy was saying. The Japanese could understand even less of it...
Why is my country taking flac again?
awwww I'm going to JET :(
We will be waiting for articles of your heroic actions.
Could be good for japans increasing problem with an aging population, they need to breed more.
Articles like this are why I check the site daily. Thanks for the read.
Hey, couldn't have said it better. Too bad some of these others comments are so lame/inane.
There will be a solution soon.
Really? Sometimes its the lame ones that are the most hilarious.
^ lol funny
i want teaching englisch to in japanese! XD
i want teaching englisch to in japanese! XD
Damn, only if i had 3000 Yen, and was in Tokyo, and was more fluent in Japanese and...
ah, ...depression.
in Tokyo prices are higher than in other regions of Japan..
It's interesting to put this article side by side some of the "what women are looking for in a partner" articles and look at this disturbingsuper-capitalist trend... I have to wonder wonder what the regional statistics look like. I am friends with several ryuugakusee who come from various regions of Japan, and it's easy to see how different their attitudes are about sex and relationships just from a casual relationship.
Indeed.
Perhaps when EQ now claim that 70% of School girls in Japan lose their virginity before age is not without evidence....
Yeah.. even I am starting to wonder..
I blame the media.
I blame the grils.
I blame the girls.
I blame the grills.
I blame Jiminy, but you probably won't get the joke.
I blame Micheal Jackson
I blame the gills.
Try spelling his name right, first.
I blame the eroge gamessssssssssssss muhahahaha.
I blame Hans for the bad joke.
why blame anyone? Cheap, young girls for sale. Everyone should celebrate.
So you blame minors instead of adults?
i guess eroge is totally responsible for this all eh?
YES, BAN IT ALL TO HELL
That doesn't make sense. Eroge teaches us that sex is easy enough to make it free.
Fuck yeah. Icy-nee would be happy.
Why don't I have this here?! Oh wai- maybe not.
wow, wish I was there. would loveeeee, it. :D
Forget Canada or Mexico! I'm going to Japan for my next vacation!! Lol! xD
If you get caught, I'll bet the legal penalty for you will be much higher than for a Japanese.... because they're like that.
*slam of prison door* ... "Gaijin, jigoku e youkoso!"
You'd probably be deported back to your home country, where you'll be subject to the laws there. Solid plan, right?
Do you have enough money?
EEdiot weeboo
Why in the hell would you want to go to Mexico!?
Cancun Smartass
"Prices for girls in elementary school are said to have dropped below ¥3,000,"
Elementary school? O.o
In Japan they are 12 years old at max.
This isn't that big of an issue.
It is when Japanese National AoC is 13 (I know prefectures set their own AoC's), but strictly speaking, 12 years and younger is still classed as immature child...do you want immature child to get pregnant and have kid?
Heavens forbid it becomes the norm...
I just feel they're gonna blame foreigners and ban them to protect their culture.
and they will be right... it is foreigners who started get excited by japaneese schoolgirls..
Their cheap and probably hairless, where's your problem? Japan got condoms and if they wish to sell themselves I do not see any problems.
With girls hitting elementary age, sex actually does physical damage to them (hence the "her pantsu were always soiled [with blood]" in the article).
I think you may be aiming a bit too young if it doesn't even fit.
The blood was from the STD. Sex at that age is physically without great issue...
Ya Chris, you might want to read the article before you cite it >.>
hmm .... I think now is the right time for some proper vacation in japan.
I wanted to go their anyways. Why not enjoy the real japanese "culture" while at it?
It's not like Japan is the only place where they do this kind of thing. Many teen girls from less wealthy families are ready to sell themselves, just so they can afford fashionable clothes.
I already have plan on Japan for vacation.
Though, that's a little fucked up. For clothes???
LOL JOO WILL GET AIDS!!!11
No really I bet tons o std's are gonna be spread through this....I'll stick to 2d for now thank you.
this is the part where parents should actually do something?
Probably to busy working..
This is why women should stay at home and look after the kids.. to teach them public morals, but then again Japan is meant to one on the most expensive places to live in.
you got to eat when you can i guess
More like their parents were worked to death. Its usually expected that workers put in 10-12 hour days for their overlords. Japan has a very conformist society , so bosses can abuse (mentally and physically) their workers. Remember that article a few weeks ago about Canon's(?) camera plant?No chairs, no slow walking etc etc. Now imagine doing that for 10 hours a day, walking quickly from room to room with naught a seat in sight.
Parents are either dead or dying by the time their kids get to high school...
which is why i said..
'..but then again Japan is meant to one on the most expensive places to live in'
I thought what i meant was obvious..
This makes it sound like the reason the age for being sexually active goes lower and lower is because everyone knows when they "grow up", it's inevitable they'll be another brick in the wall...
Ironically, people only end up working themselves to death like that to support families, which their increasing rates of festivities will be catapulting them into sooner and with less preparation (as the article said, "Even so, some girls are blasé about the matter, and are happy to be pregnant").
If only there were a way to get the cake and eat it without all the problematic consequences, eh? But I guess a smooth sail is a boring one to some people though.
You can have your cake and eat it. It's called a vasectomy.
Of course then you have to worry about it going gangrene after all the STD's you'll get.
The reason why they are not breeding is probably because they are afraid of their kids turning out like this. Ahh the circle of morality.
But the parents were like that. Don't you watch TV? Check out the age gap between parent/child on Japanese TV.....do you think Yasuko, Ryuuji's mum on Toradora was a nice, sweet teenager who wouldn't let men near? No she spread her legs, hence Ryuuji becomes a teenager and his mom is still young and hot. Didn't they have a series over there called "14 year old mother" a little while back? Morality, certainly our prudish western sexual morality, is an external construct in Japan and so while most of them pay lip service to it, it's not really like anime over there....nope, just like here boys and girls don't play around with dumb things like confessions or promises...instead they get naked.
All jokes and drooling aside, I always wondered why the Japanese don't have more of a problem with underage sex. There are all kinds of problems with this that have nothing to do with morality or ethics. They're ok with their kids ruining their lives? STDs are a problem, for starters. Physical damage from sex is an issue if the kid is younger than mid grade school age; even older if she gets pregnant. If a girl has a baby at 12 or 13, it will most likely have a profoundly negative impact on her life. Things are extremely expensive in Japan. Where will she (or her family) get the money to take care of the child? The Japanese educational system is unusually rigorous until the end of high school. How will she take care of the child and get a decent education at the same time? Also, what the hell does a pre-teen know about raising a child? At best, grandma takes care of the kid. We all know how superbly that system works in the ghetto. Either way, the resulting kid will be much more likely to be developmentally disabled or exhibit criminal behavior.
*tickets in hand, running to the airport*
You and me both, brother.
So time and date bros?
NOW. WE GO NOW.
Hahahhaha
Wait wait wait... When did I get these tag-a-long?!
Ever heard of "the more the merrier" ?
Ten-some anymore?
I'm going for a solo project, not a "gang-bang event."
Exactly my thoughts. Race you to the airport!
*whine*
This was suppose to be my idea! oT_To
I dunno, it all makes good sense to me. It's inexcusably paternalistic to stop women from selling their bodies. It's straight up robbing them of income at a financially sensitive period of their lives.
"Public Morals" what shit.
I love feminist arguments sometimes.
oh baby i so wanna go to japan even more now lol
My god...I want to go to japan and buy some young girls.
If they really want to get "control" of this, they should ban condoms to increase the spread of STDs, killing off a lot of people, leaving behind everyone else. Also, they should refuse to treat these people and leave them to die. Do this for a certain period of time till a lot of people die. :)
What?!
This is an option that could be used if the government wants to "stop" excessive child prostitution. One way to increase deaths is to find people who have diseases and pay them to help spread it.
Am i saying they should really do this? Nah.
But it would be pretty funny, granted that I can already get a girl and keep her to myself before they do this. :p
Oh... I want to bring a girl home too before that happenes.
'a girl' ?
Jeez, you're really restraining yourself; I'd bring as many as possible.
Your right! Change of plans.
*takes note*
Rent a van...
forget the van, get a bus
Busses have too many windows :P
I'll be on my Private Jet.
Positive eugenics. SRSBSNS
I'd rather still use rubber. be on the safe zone... errr... well.. yeah. XD
i think this is the part where equality now will make a move...
something like "eroge has corrupt the morality of youngster...time to ban it all"
Too late for that. All japanese porn is under attack now from these equality groups. :/
Japan is a fucked up country/culture. Its exploitation of children sickens me, children should not be selling their bodies, its fucking wrong. Every schoolgirl in japan looks like a prostitute now, wtf happened to morals.
I think its time another fucking A bomb was used on them, its a filth in this world that needs wiping out.
"The world is a fucked up place. Time to an hero."
Fixed.
If you can't get past the fact that this is happening all over the world, go dine in hell tonight.
Leonidas wouldnt want that guy near him.
Whine moar christ/moral/amerifag.
In the meantime, the rest of us (including the girls!) go enjoy ourselves.
Amen to that.
Enjoy your AIDS~
Thankfully I'm not religious, so the pope's ramblings about condoms making it more likely to contract AIDS did not work on me. I'm going to have fun without STDs, thank you very much.
"...children should not be selling their bodies..."
Uh, actually, they're not selling their bodies. They're just renting them out.
If you can't think of a better solution than nuking the whole place, you fucked up worse than they are.
Wow, can't believe someone actually believes in bombing to death civilians that includes little children to solve a "moral" dilemma. I broke away from the church some time ago but reading stuff like this makes me truly hope there is a God so your soul can bun in hell for all eternity.
troll be trolling
Elementary school? This enough loli for you Icy-nee?
NATION's PUBLIC MORALS... LOL! they don't happy to worry bout anything at all , since that's Japan for ya! hahahaha! they should be proud and living it w/ their heads high!
*they don't need to worry bout* - typo
Some of their heads are down.
^winrar^
ma,
im going to school to score some loli...
can i have an advance on my allowance?
They need money to buy over-expensive eroge .
Let's see how quickly they can manage to blame it on foreigners. If not foreigners in Japan themselves (though I'm sure a few English teachers will cop a hit), thea decadent Western morality, movies, music...
i'm seeing another loli-2d related here. It's pretty easy to get. Young girls surf , see those loli-2d stuff , realize it's everywhere , had the idea that THIS MIGHT WHAT MEN WANTS , and head for it to earn money!
Now i'm excited how those loli-2d defenders gonna react to this one ? *cough cough we don't do it to real ones , just for the 2D ones*
I'd never touch a real young girl. I like 2d lolis for DFC and stuff, they don't even act like real children most of time, and I hate when they do. They're just high school students with flat chests for me. I don't want children. I want DFC.
The people who are making enthusiastic comments in this thread... disgusting. I won't say children aren't sexual because they can be, but that should be innocent curiosity and perhaps a little fondling with each other, not the real deal with horny adults. Even if the child supposedly wants it or agrees to do it, you as an adult have the responsibility for what you're doing. That's why it's called child abuse. Freaks.
wholeheartedly agree with you man, the whole "yeah i wanna fuck real 10 year olds" fine if it's a fantasy take it any further and i fucking hope to god they jail ur ass and while we're on that subject hope ur own ass gets raped.
More on topic, i don't think this is a japan only issue as this happens all over the world in all countries while some more than others, you bet ur ass it's there if u really try to find it. so save urself the flight ticket and go to jail in ur own country
And when the earth has rotated around the sun for exactly 18 times, it just suddenly, and magically, stops being abuse.
Keep in mind we're mostly talking about teenagers here, not children (Oh but teenagers ARE children!!!!11 - yeah right... I suggest you go check some medical books for definitions that are based on biological considerations instead of morals if you believe that shit). Whether an 18yr old and a 15yr old having sex really constitutes abuse depends on the individuals and the circumstances, not on some arbitrary, morality-influenced legal definition. Now would be a good time thinking about the mean age of commenters here... pretty young, eh?
So anyone who's having a period is fair game? While at it, no need to consider her feelings, right? After all, you were lucky enough to be born as a man. Fuck, you people disgust me.
Her feelings?
She's selling herself; and that's how she'll learn how the world really is the hard way, because of her own stupidity. Generally, a teenager should be able to tell what's right or wrong; you don't need to be 18 for that. She might not enjoy it, but she's probably happier than you are when she gets the money, because she actually got what she wanted by doing something she decided herself.
I'm of course talking in the consensual cases, not the forced/rape ones.
And if he's 'lucky' enough to be born a man, and if you really consider that lucky, then do a gender-changing operation and be a fucking man instead of crying like a bitch.
Fuck, you women have no boundaries when it comes to horrible reflections.
I couldn't give a fuck about some whore selling of their ass in Japan, but that's besides the point. My post was pointed at your thoughts about taking "biological" approach and giving fuck all about morals.
Well, whether or not the girl is a child really depends on the person. Some 15-year-olds are women, some are but young children. Their minds, that is. When approaching a teenager girl, I'd say use common sense rather than the law. If she behaves like a preteen, chances are she is still on that level.
First of all, me and this anon are not the same person.
The thin air up there on your moral highground seems to have been affecting your brain functionality. Obviously, biological considerations include the development of the central nervous system -> a person's mental maturity. Also, you conveniently ignored that I formulated everything in a gender-neutral way, the 15yr old person could have been a boy as well as a girl. But a 15yr old boy's feelings don't make for nearly as effective moralfaggotry, right? Fuck you.
Ok, let's assume only girls count then. What makes you think I consider her feelings unimportant? I was stating that it depends on the individual and the circumstances. Obviously, coercing a girl into sex by whatever means is rape, be it by force or by exploiting her naivety. This applies always, regardless of the girl's age. Only thing that happens is that you'll find increasingly less naive girls the older they get - duh. This is not invalidating my statement at all.
I had a good laugh at your last sentence. Only dumb fucks think they're lucky to be male, and only self-hating, mentally unstable feminazis think they're unlucky to be female. Had I been given the choice what gender I'd like to be at birth, I'd have chosen female. I don't think you have it better, mind you. I just think that girls are so much more awesome, especially since they have to deal with so much more shit. I respect them greatly for this, and I envy them for the rewards they get in return, like being cute, desirable, the ability to experience mind-blowing orgasms a man cannot even dream off - multiple ones at that, among other things. Call it personal preference.
@comment-216289
While 15 year old may behave like an adult, it doesn't change the fact that she's not one by law. Why not just play by the rules of society and keep your hands off the jail baits?
comment-216289 here, I'm actually an underage girl so I can legally have as many jailbaits as I want to, lol. But immaturity is a real turn-off for me, so I'll keep my hands off them. According to my experience most teenager girls really are spoiled kids with boobs, so in my personal and biased opinion I'd recommend all sensible men to stay as far from them as possible unless you wish to be exploited.
Even an ecchi and lolicon myself, i could not agree more - if such things are allowed to pass irl, then where is the end? Sex with infants? Seriously, i thought all those laws and accusations that uproar the world for the last decade were paranoid and exaggerated, but many of these selfish decadent freaks deserve to be annihilated without compassion.
Go back to bed, Little Bob. You have Moral class and brain check sessions tomorrow morning.
Pretty much whats happens all around.
I don't dislike my own nation but in cases like this I wish I was born in Japan.
Huhnnnnnn..... I see some problems with this (and I'm not gonna talk about "god", or "morals", etc.).
* If the norm is that most girls whore themselves out, then they will see guys as nothing but walking piggy banks, and will judge guys accordingly. You already see this with the surveys where women report that a guy's income is the main deciding factor on what they want in a man. This will not lead to happiness for either party.
* If the norm is that most girls whore themselves out, then there won't be much "freebie sex" for the guys ("But.. but you're my _GIRLFRIEND_!" "I don't care; give me cash, or buy me something nice, or you don't get any.").
* If the norm is that most girls whore themselves out, then both males and females will come to view "people" as just "things to be traded for money". This leads to people becoming "emotionally dead", and then
(a) doing things like that chick who scalded the baby because she thought it would be "fun" to hear it scream; and
(b) making it difficult, if not impossible, to form loving relationships.
Even if I won the lottery and became a millionaire, I wouldn't want women hanging all over me because they want my $$$, I'd want them hanging all over me because they want ME, the person.
I'm sure most of you horn-dogs'll be read this and say, "Yeah, righhhhht...", but, being loved is like being laid in that you don't know what it _really_ feels like until it happens to you.
Yeah, righhhht...
poof.. tehe~..
but I do kinda agree with what you are saying..
"If the norm is that most girls whore themselves out, then both males and females will come to view “people” as just “things to be traded for money”. This leads to people becoming “emotionally dead”, and then
(a) doing things like that chick who scalded the baby because she thought it would be “fun” to hear it scream; and
(b) making it difficult, if not impossible, to form loving relationships."
While the rest of your argument is not totally unsubstantiated, this is just baseless (and largely illogical) assumptions.
Remember these girls, are still young..
at the age where they are mentally growing, and their ideals and opinions are being shaped..
so if they are being brought up in an environment where thay are being 'rented' and 'sold' for a measly amount of money, it wouldn't be suprising..
of course I agree with you on the fact that the dudes third point and in fact all of his points are just mere assumptions, but still it makes you wonder.
Uh no, these aren't assumptions, you can bet your virginity many if not most of these girls will grow up to be highly dysfunctional individuals, I fear them actually having any offspring. Take a course in psychology if you don't believe me.
You made the argument, the burden of proof is on you. How about pointing me to some study or paper to make your assumptions less baseless? BTW, I took 2 semesters of cognitive neuroscience at my university. You won't fool me with superficial knowledge.
*applause*
I agree. Even if they are old enough to have sex, their minds are still not fully developed, and so they are impressionable. If they are continually being fed with the idea that men=$, it will end up screwing up their future relationships.
I could care less about God and morals, but you can't deny that growing up thinking this way could negatively affect their view of romantic relationships for the rest of their lives.
Unfortunately, it seems like a lot of the people on this site care more about getting laid then being in a long-term relationship. And for those people who only want to get laid, I guess it really isn't much of a problem, so long as they have cash. But for those people that want more, it sucks.
Hardly surprising since none of those people have gotten laid. That's just the whole problem.
Give me a break. If anything the minds of these girls are (more) "fully developed" than even many of the adults in the US. I wouldn't advocate for what these girls are doing but at least they know well enough to use protection and if they are unhappy with their lives it's only because society (ie. religious nutjobs) tells them they can't be happy.
Just think about it, there's so much teen pregnancy going on in the US, because the kids that are force-fed the "innocence" crap aren't protecting themselves when they start doing something society considers a "moral abomination". Even adults who are not financially in a position to be having kids don't give a damn and start popping them out like crazy.
Is this problem in Japan getting worse? it probably is, but everyone presenting solutions to resolve this is doing it in the stupidest way possible, which is through useless expensive laws vs fundamental changes in the media, parenting, and education.
I doubt religious nutjobs in Japan are screwing with their heads, the two main religions in Japan are Buddhism and Shintoism, and neither are anything like Christianity or islam in the west, they don't have the same horrible attitude toward sex, these stories are the result of a highly materialistic and capitalistic society.
I agreew ith this love for me. Though personally i also don't think age shpuld ne ca;lled a factor. If someone wants to fuck let em. That's true EQUALITY noyt the fake shit.
Sry for the typos dane IE8 and yeah i do have firefox just save it for no torrentt time.
and thus the banning is strengthened. good grief...
Hmmn. I'll stick with my 2D idealized Japanese school life then.
So I guess boys being perverts like in Kyou No Go No Ni really is true.
This pretty much shows its common behavior, what is seen in the current issues with Eroge games and such. The more its presented the more that participate seeing no other (good) options. This is a death nail in the coffin of Japanese morals or lack there of. In any case its scary just how easy it is to grin as well isn't it at the story like 'wish I was there too'?
Just curious, how many of these "customer" are otaku?
Prostitution increases becouse of recession and people being without work or money in general.
I pretty much understand these girls,since prostitution brings easy money for hardly any effort and hell they can even enjoy it or not enjoy it,they want the money badly then,don't see any other work that brings such easy money.
And yes men and women will buy girls like these for prostitution.And probably other girls tell the younger girls how wonderfull it is to get such easy money and what all they can afford now or help their family now.
I do wonder if there are any traps and male boys prostitution there?
Probably no one is researching it.
And what if a 22 old year forenger virgin would be selling himself there,would women and girls buy him?
Why should they? They can get as many as they want for free anytime...
A good looking foreinger ain't easy to get you know.
Kinda exotic foreinger they would want i guess.
LOL i'm a 22 year old virgin. So should i ogo test it out lol.
only if you feel proud of your looks,by having several womens who said how handsome you look and they groped you and stuff.
"it is difficult to see any reasons why this should be the case"
No happy endings.
The back drop of this kids who see no future, excepting, drudgery.
Even for those who become "successful" in living out the culturally important japanese stereotypes the theme is unrelenting (and very often unnecessary drudgery, the salary man only staying at work so he can leave after his boss, who only stays on so he can leave after his etc.) drudgey. This goes double for women.
This matches in to their reported unrealistic expectations as to a husband's paycheque.
Is the unstated desire actually for a present/future without grinding thankless drudgery.
How many hours would you have to work as a waitress to get a loius vuitton hand bag? how many tricks would you have to pull?
I personnally don't think shopping does shit for your happiness, but, many very obviously dissagree.
If even the upper/middle part of town only has drudgery to look forward to (Love Hina, both get into Tokyo U and live happily ever after, yea right, what about every one else) what about the middle/bottom end of town?
Not so hard to see girls getting over their qualms when they see themselves as having no better present/future to which to aspire or in which to hope to be included as having little worth in their own eyes.
Wow... never knew eroge actually hit close to home...
I'm applying for a student transfer program to Japan and i'll bring my credit card. Wait for me ladies!!
credit card??? so you think they accept credit now??
How awful, Japan is a messed up country. They seem to be quite old fashioned about things, covering things up that could lead to scandel.
This is covered up, how?
^ what he said
Anon, please, go on and explain... this was in their news I would consider that about as open as it can get without giving out the names of minors.
Way to lose any perspective. There's no scandal here.
Hmm, I might consider getting into university in Japan...
I thanks my parents for being Chinese, I won't be suspected as a gaijin over there.
Until you start talking...
Yeah, but at least he'll have it better then white people.
It's not Japan, so I don't know what it's like there, but when I was in China I was constantly stared at and people were always snapping pictures of me and asking to pose for photos with me. At least if he looks asian he won't be so obviously foreigner.
Same thing I experienced in Peru. Being the only young Asian around...Somehow it was only restricted to teenage girls though, wonder why?
So....what's new?
This is just wrong. What kind of people would indulge in this. Sick fucks...
*checks luggage* *makes airplane ticket reservations*
Any normal human, who price his libido. Nothing wrong with it as long as you dont catch or spread aids.
HA!
Where is your innocent girls now pathetic politicians.
Once again you ppl are owned by the crude reality!
Prostitution sickens me btw.
its reality. . .
So is war.
Meh I wondering if i can study these people.
and this is why japan have so many gravure idols and av idols XD
If I have my facts right, the Japanese (and perhaps Chinese) have a belief that a woman can strengthen a man through sexual intercourse - physically, mentally, and in all other aspects. Such was the practice for warriors way back in history
Is this the reason why Japanese soldiers raped women and girls in the countries their invading during WW2?
Nah, that's just soldiers being soldiers.
Wow, money really CAN buy everything besides ones life.
Nah, money can buy somebody's life.
We live in a material world man.
Money makes the world go round!
Prostitution sickens me but what can I do? it's their life, their body, their choice so why bother?
They do it for money we do it for pleasure, both sides gain something and both sides loose something.
I prefer to call it a mutual relationship rather than an abuse.
Fuck femenism and equality, pushing their views into others, heh delusional bastards that wants to live in their preferred world of "purity"
Look at the facts, both sides chose to so fuck off.
They say woman wants to be in equal ground with men, Don't talk bullshit, man and woman will never be equal, and even if they do I don't think they'll last that long.
But now that I think of it it's actually better if man and women are the same, that way I can beat any woman that annoys me without having to endure critisism.
Fuck masochism and chauvinism, and yeah fuck pedophilia and misogyny
prostitution suck.the men what pay for sex are patetic.
Isn't traditional sex kind of the same? Wining and dining, in fact, costs more than just paying some hooker. C:
Been watchoing the boondocks eh? That wa si gthink rileys comment on thgeir grandpa dating a girl who was a hooker.
Sry was saying i thought it was riey who said something like that.
I'm amused at a lot of the comments here. Most of you seem to approve of this sort of thing.
Not only approve, but will soon partake as evidenced by the claims of buying plane tickets. And the internet never lies.
I'm not even cool with adult prostitutes.
What happened to love before sex?
Meh. The world we are right now is in a fukcing swirling split-up point. You just have to bear the truth around you in order to accept what life it is right now.
Tell me my fried, was it different anytime before? Maybe, perhaps, the medievil period was better and kinder place? Lol. The world always was a fucking mess in ALL TIMES SINCE THE BEGINNING.
In japan, love culture is different. To answer your question: there never was any question of that.
But money is love~ XD
Cool story bro.
I think I'd like to try a gangbang on some of them. Who wants to help me out? I'll pay for your expenses. :P
HAs japan GONE MAD??
oh wait..
It's always been like that..
Zomg I so there.
Screw public morals. If I were a girl, I would'nt miss a chance to earn some cash by fucking with a cute boy of the same age.
*Is on a plane to japan*
*sitting behind Icy-nee-san, giggling like a school girl*
watch out.
Wow, there really is no :( big enough.
So, is self-promoted, underaged prostituion really a social pandemic, or the highlighting of some rare cases?
It seems to be common. I heard some particularly surprising statistics about university students...
Statistics about university students? Do you mean a survey done on the history of these students when they were in grade school or about their college sexual life? Only one of those would directly relate to self-promoted under-aged prostitution.
I don't have a source for you so it is a moot point I fear.
I prefer give love instead give money to these girls... XD
It's the consumism, the girls want to buy things they saw on TV or on the internet and others ways of marketing... They are students and couldn't work or don't find a temp job, they sell hers bodys to make money and satify theirs consumism wishes...
But this not happens only in Japan, it's the same in hole world...
I'm going to Japan, but I'll not take part on this social problem. (It will be dificult, but a will resist... XD)
[]'s
That's probably the main problem of most guys on this board(me included)! Each and every single one of them gives a shit about all your sweet love. The only value you have lies in your wallet. ;-)
IIRC, teenagers can't work a job even if they wanted to.
This issues isnt isolated to Just japan though numbers may be high there due to the criminal focus on men. Its only a matter of time before most countries see a rise in such acts in such times of economic uncertainty coupled with global materialism.
What are they going to buy with that much money?
Louis Vuiton bags.
lol it is girls, was that really a question?
The tear in the opening pic explains it all.
I think the most amusing thing is my dad's already told me about this, haha.
We were passing the front of a Louis Vuitton store, and he just comments how ridiculously popular the bags are among Japanese girls, mentioning that they'd "escort old men" to get money just to buy one.
But hey, now we know why the rate of rapes is so low in Japan! Why rape a girl and risk getting told on, when there's a very cheap alternative with a much lower chance of getting caught?
Hum... the rate of rapes isn't so low that they say, japanese men are pervert and like young ladies, but you are right, this is the better choice if you intend to have fun with young girls without have problems...
Don't forget to "erase your footprints", if one of these girls clain she was victim of a hape from you, how can you prove that was a "enjou kousai" situation?
Think about that...
This is fucked up.
this is why rape is done in japon. They just say " fuck it, give me ¥3,000 and i wont call the cops"
poor girl ;_;
bitch slap those girls back to the past
Not that I approve but holy hell o_o
It seems that because men are getting timid about sex;
http://www.sankakucomplex.com/2009/07/05/why-wont-women-kiss-on-a-first-date/
Japanese girls are taking this into their own hands... seriously, for 3000 yen, who believes that they're really in this for the money?
30 bucks probably seems like a lot to an elementary schooler.
30 bucks for lying on your back for 5 minutes isn't such a bad deal if you ask me.
But aren't they enduring the pain for 5 minutes too?
Maybe they practice with dildos until they are ready for the real thing?
poor things.
well acceptable enough with a higher status of living pocket money might not be enough and people are getting desperate <_< mmm...
This settles it...
I really need to go to Japan T.T
Well this would explain the low rape rates...
If they're gonna get raped anyway they may as well make some money off of it.
this is terrible...paying for sex? i'm not made of money.
all I can say is wow.
>Her pantsu were always soiled [with blood], and she kept coming in with Chlamydia.
Recognizing an original SankakuComplex.com translation 101, kids.
5th graders? That's terrible....
Imagine what Kagami's reaction would be to reading this?
No better. Imagine if Soujiro reading this. He'd drive right to the school.
"Konata, stay here. Daddy has some er, things to do."
Though I think elementary/middle school is a little too young, I don't see the problem. If the girls are gonn'a be whores, why not let 'em? They're only hurting themselves.
Well, just so long as the feminists don't try to shift it the other way.
Ok, this is NOT funny at all, is case of life and death, more of that lately. They need to educate asap those girls about the risks of it. Honestly, after read the article it seems romance and love does NOT exists anymore.
Hmm... I wonder if this has any relation to why many Japanese do not bother to marry until their 30's? Reference to another posting within the past week..
Anyway, the oldest profession seems to be still going strong and the recession is causing greater desperation...
Well you have to realise that 3000yen is quite a lot of money for very young people. I remember when $2 was a fortune.
Yes, and I remember Kennedy real-silver half-dollar pieces, and being outraged that the U.S. air mail rate went up from US$0.08 to US$0.10, and big-ass ice-cream cones being 25 cents, and 19-cent hamburgers, and ....
It's called inflation.
But what was the catalyst for this? Whis is there such an increase in underaged prostitution? Did the financial crisis really affected Japan that hard is the inflation or something like that?
hope u got tenbux
Another proof why Japan is superior, I wish I was living there :D
Where is Equality Now now?
Oops i forgot they are too busy with banning rape games.
wow,,, I'd like to try it once,,, in every prefecture,,, :P
So... the proliferation of shoujo mangas that involved the guy buying the main girl was not without reason... >__>;
To be honest, I'm kinda sickened. I'm a perfectly straight guy and all that, but this is just... sickening... and I'm not even religious! X_X;
Could be several causes for it, too. Bad economy is one reason, but I think the problem is just with the technology/information boom is another. With more females realizing that they can sell their bodies a little bit for some profit, combined with that economy, is making it an attractive option.
Now, if only AIDs and other STDs didn't exist, and people had some restraint. The way things are now, you have a, what, 50% chance of being with a slut when you're with a girl? Pretty bad tidings...
The IP's of all pedophiles who replied to this have been traced. Expect a police inspection within the next 2-6 weeks.
Awww, so they finally get to take on a bunch of cops in an epic gunfight and make a run for their lives? Damn, I always knew should have been a pedophile...
... Honestly, though, 2-6 weeks? It's like you're making it easy. They can even get prepared by buying a gun and taking shooting lessons. Where's the fun in that? Give it to em now!
Oh well, it'd be fun if that was true.
Nevermind. I just discovered that I had a 12" Dildo shoved up my azz and had to remove it.
*POP!*
Aaaahhh there....Now I can use my brain again.
(uuhh..what was I saying now?)
A raft of teenage pregnancies would sure solve Japan's problem with aging population. But it's sad that so much of Japan's male/female interactions have degenerated to commercial transactions. Sounds like the battle of the sexes is entering crisis mode there.
Seriously, that's rather scary than funny. Eroge fetishes are alright but I can't understand jokes about real (!) elementary (and maybe even junior high) students who sell their bodies for sex.
haha what is this mainichi news? How about some sources?
I'm not interested in some used goods. How much would a virgin cost?
anyone? for an misb or loose schoolgirl?
"girls are so ready to sell themselves for additional pocket money, and whether it is indeed appropriate to absolve them of all responsibility for their actions…"
i don't know how the prostitution laws work in japan, but in america, the prostitutes goto jail as well. and finding prostitutes here is as easy as going on craigslist. i'm sure if some p.i.'s went to those sites, they could easily jail a bunch of prostitutes, offer leiniencey towards those who rat their pimps out, and maybe a few customer contacts. if the prostitutes we're held criminally liable, that may be a more effective deterrent to lowering the prostitution level in japan by a significant margin. of course the elementery, middle, and highschool girls can't be locked up, but they can be brought to the stations in a holding cell to have their parents pick them up, then explain the situation their kid is in. and the humiliation and shame from their families would also probably stop them from selling their bodies. but hey, what do i know.
Agrees. Both sides should be given appropriate punishment. However, adults should be locked up whether they're male or female.
People! People! Its not society to blame. Its technology. Its the anonymity granted by tech, that enables these kids.
Solution; cyborg bodies.
I wonder if there's some "preferred customer" discount in the 3000 yen price. Which makes it sort of freaky -- i.e. the whore falling in love with the john. Pretty Woman etc
Hm. Bitches and whores now is it?
JAPAN THE GREATEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD!!!
Well if you think about it. The average schoolgirl goes to school during the day, goes to cram school after school, then comes home and does homework. There is no time for a job. So prostitution is just a quick easy out to make money.
I can't imagine how Japan's society will end up in the future with so many young girls turning to sex for money. If it's before the age of 15 or so, it can mess up a person's feelings about sex because they're not ready for that kind of thing physically. If it hurts every time you do it, or you get sick after with STDs, then the outcome is usually you learn that sex is bad.
People keep saying it's all over the world and I am aware that people are basically the same at the core.
You however, do need to take culture into account here.
I am sure there are girls that whore themselves out in western countries as well, but.... I am fairly sure there is a decent stigma AGAINST that in most places that if nothing else keeps it from being mainstream and more of an exception rather than a rule.
This in Japan is starting to sound like a rule. That it's the normal and accepted thing to do and THAT is what I find fucked up.
As much as I like anime, games, and some amount of dirty Japanese drawn pictures I am DAMN glad I don't give there and even more than I wasn't born into it.
Hellfire, I am autistic. The more "high functioning" form generally known as Asperger's Syndrome(Fucking German doc would have to discover it, I hate trying to pronounce German names.)
What that means that I am not so mentally defection as to be obvious as having a mental disorder as it seems to be with more I suppose severe forms of autism. However, it seems that just about everyone who is "normal" sees me as being kind of "off" in fundamental ways they can't quite explain so I have gotten massive shit my whole life.
Presently, I basically am what the Japanese would call an otaku, and it's bad enough here in the states. If I was in Japan, as I understand it I would be considered a disgrace to my family and they would be heartedly ashamed of fucking existence, because I don't think how most people do. Now I find my life here pretty fucked up. As is seems it would be if I had been born Japanese but sill autistic would be akin to a living hell.
So I'm gong to go out on a limb from all I have heard about shit there, and while agreeing that humans as a whole are fundamentally fucked up in many ways ; that Japan seems to be the leading center of fucked up humanity at this given time. I suppose due to some flaw in their society for some reason or another I cannot personally understand for a crap, but am nevertheless DAMN happy to not have to live there.
Massive of Wall of text is hereby concluded: Feel free to go about your normal daily business.
This is what happens when a capitalist consumer driven western culture goes unquestioned. If all you are is the sum of the things you buy why care about yourself. This is not about sex or morals. This is the problem of consumer culture. Human beings need to free themselves of corporate class slavery.
Just wait until Japan meet it's destruction! Why? Because the morale of it's citizens is already bad, and when the citizens' morale is already bad, so as their country. It's much easier to destroy a country when it's citizens' morale is bad.
we need more GTOs in moonland
All I can say is that I was hopping to get a Japanesse wife because I thought they had good moral standards, now the idea is permanantly dropped...
How sick and dissapointing...
