* Note: The Encyclopedia editor is grateful to tile authors for their effort to complete this chapter in lime for inclusion in the first three volumes despite their concurrent responsibilities in coordinating the 12th World Congress of Sexology in Yokohama [August 1995]. The editor also acknowledges the invaluable assistance of Yoshimi Kaji, M.Ed., his former New York University graduate student, for her additional comments, for checking his editorial additions, and for helping to bring this important chapter to completion. Her comments have been integrated in the text in brackets with her name (Kaji) at the end of each comment.
The proceedings of the 12th World Congress of Sexology in Yokohama are available via "Sexuality and Human Bonding" Edited by S. Matsumoto, Japan Family Planning Association, 1-2 Ichigaya-Sadohara-cho, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo, Japan. This book looks like an absolute must-read if only because it has a chapter entitled "Oral Sessions: Sexuality in the orient. Three principles of Japanese sexual morals" (S. Miyahara and N. Ueno).
