Police Target British Sex Manual

Postby Mulboyne » Fri Jul 29, 2005 11:25 am

"The Lovers' Guide" by Andrew Stanway

The Japanese police are not pleased with this book according to ZAKZAK (Japanese). The first edition was a major challenge to indecency laws but it appears the police can't turn a blind eye and have hit the publisher with numerous requests for changes in the second edition. The photos accompanying the sections on oral sex, female masturbation, vibrator usage etc will need the blurry treatment. 50 of the book's 116 photographs have been given particular attention by the police. Andrew Stanway is a British doctor and his book has been published in 14 countries so far. Since going on sale in Japan, it has become a best seller. Shuhei Abe, president of the local publishing company, was told by police to cut out the fellatio and stop showing genitals. The report suggests that the publisher may yet let the book go out of print rather than radically change the content.

You can read see the original UK version on Amazon here. It wasn't changed much for US publication and one reviewer writes as follows on the US site
The Lover's Guide is a British adaptation of a video of the same title. The book emphasizes developing techniques to satisty one's partner, both physically and emotionally. This is accomplished primarily through photographs of young Anglo couples depicting massage, foreplay, oral sex, and numerous intercourse positions. Though the photos are not pornographic, per se, they are full-color, quite explicit, and dreamy and erotic in nature. Unlike the photographs in Miriam Stoppard's recent The Magic of Sex, which are so airbrushed that they could be defended as purely instructional in a censorship crisis, these photographs may prove controversial.

how typical

Postby james » Fri Jul 29, 2005 11:01 pm

does anyone have any info about the origins of this practise (fuzzing stuff out) in japan?

never understood how they can turn a blind eye to rampant paedophelia, let their kids read tentacle porn manga and ignore the status quo of enjo-kosai but when two consenting adults are portrayed doing something perfectly natural and assumed to be viewed by consenting adults that everything has to be all covered up.

this is really the only aspect of japanese society that strikes me as being anywhere near puritanical. it's something i'd more expect in more conservative u.s. states.

Does that mean we should also be turning off the lights in case we see some exposed bits?

No need to turn off the lights- but you do need to scratch them out or over them with a mosaic.

Looks like I won't be able to post naked anymore. Or at least now I'll have to turn off the lights and close the window. The extra freedom just isn't worth being sent back home for. :(

So how in the fuck can they let the public get naked at an onsen? I've even heard of coed onsens...

A dick and pussy are not in anyway indecent. And indecency is such a subjective word... who the hell decides what is or is not indecent in Japan?

Some might say that HARD GAY is indecent.. and he's posed in tons of images....

What a joke.

The book in question isn't like the standard run of the mill sex manual - it's the same sort of porn images you see on porn sites, they just have better lighting.

Interesting article but parts were strange:

In general, the Japanese tend to view Western pornographic materials as being crudely made. In short, they look artificial and comical in their acts to Japanese eyes. Note that North Korean propaganda TV shows that show women and children in fixed smiles are often looked at with the same bemusement, scary and comical at the same time.


Wonder what the source of this is beyond idle speculation.

I'm not entirely sure about this "censorship". I popped into a few bookshops and many seem to have the original edition of the book displayed prominently. If indeed the police are looking for changes, it raises the question of why they gave initial approval and why they have not taken measures to remove the first edition from circulation. The story looks increasingly like part of a marketing campaign to give sales an extra leg-up, as it were.

Mr Kobayashi: First, I experienced a sort of overpowering feeling whenever I was in the room with foreigners, not to mention a powerful body odor coming from them. I don't know whether it was a sweat from the heat or a cold sweat, but I remember I was sweating whenever they were around.
