Repression breeds Strange Desires

There is no pretty way to put it - The Japanese have an obsession, one that lurks in a dark corner of their over-worked, mild mannered countenance. I always wondered why everybody buys these little paper slips that they put over their paperback novels, so nobody can see what they are reading. I was thinking, there is no shame in reading a bit of Wilbur Smith, or jumping on the Dan Brown hype-wagon...but now I think I understand.

The Japanese (men?) have a completely ravenous obsession with pornography. I'm not talking about your average Jenna Jameson flick, with slick nubile limbs flailing and teflon titties jiggling against Ron Jeremy's frighteningly hairy gut. No, no, no, I am talking about the kind of hardcore porn that you would need to order from GErmany or Bulgaria...I will spare you all the grit (hi mum and dad!) but put it this way...We went down to the local video shop to accompany a post-hangover curry (more on that later) and for the first time I noticed another section behind a flimsy Japanese style curtain. We pushed through and we astounded by this enormous array of porn. It was at least twice as big as the regular video shop, in fact it would put any Club X to shame. Mind you, this is just your average video shop, not a speciality store. Thousands of titles, all for rental, many crossing boundaries not only of taste but even what I consider universal morality!

Wanting to further our understanding of the cultural mores and codes of Japan, we picked up a sample, purely for research purposes. It was actually an amazing piece of experimental film making. It had a sort of fetish edge to it, with lots of latex and corsets. The editing and sound were fantastic, but the weirdest thing was that all the full on hardcore action was blurred out. So even though these actors were getting down and jiggy for real, you couldn't see anything! In fact even when she was just standing there, posing in the nude, there was a little blur over her monde de venus! It was just so strange, thinking back to what we had seen on the covers of some of the other vids, that they allow that sort of...shit, but not a clear view of the divine canvas.

We're not sure if this is only the rentals, but thinking back to the phantom penises of the hentai, I think it's the law! Anyway this film was just an hour long and was very cool. In one scene she had a pink latex cat suit that came all the way over her head and there was one hole for one eye and part of her mouth. First there were all these hands shining the suit up as she stood impassively and then a man in a white mask came and ripped it off her...ace.

The final scene was like a Warhol film. There was an empty theatre with all these stage lights and a black plastic wrestling ring type thing. Facing the stage was a chaise lounge with a masked middle age woman dressed all in feathers. These body builders came in and were posing for her. The music was like blippy electronica. Then they carried in the girl, who was wearing a huge pink ballgown and mask. Some regular sexy action ensued and then the stood her up and attached these ropes to her dress. The dress was then lifted up towards the ceiling by these ropes, completely enveloping her upper body. At the same time a group of masked, suited men preceded to take off the older woman's feathers one at a time...Lots of wide establishing shots, very unlike western porn aesthetics!

But I mean, mixing young sexy girl porn and middle age porn is a bit trying, wouldn't you agree?

I'll leave it at that today! Oh, I got a cool second hand bike, retro style and also blue, for half the price of the other one...happy riding days are here again.Here are a few pics of some Hentai, which is Japanese erotic cartoons...they may give you a little insight!
