Tokyo looks at underage sex

[GuyJean]

This kind of situation isn't unique to Japan. Teenage girls all over the world prostitute themselves.

I agree with you there. We all 'pay' for it, in some way or another.. But I think there's a basic difference]I saw some show on TV here in the US awhile back about junior high and high school girls who were doing basically the same thing. This one JHS girl would literally sneak out of school to go sell her body on the street to buy herself things since her mom was kind of poor. [/quote] Again, I don't think these Japanese girls bring money home to mommy.

It's probably because your average FG (from the West) comes from an upper middle class background, is educated, and hasn't had a whole lot of life experience.

Speak for yourself]Trust me, if they taught in ghetto schools in the US or the UK they'd see this kind of shit and worse.[/quote] So, you're saying most Japanese teenage prostitutes live in poor neighborhoods and attend ghetto schools? I'd have to disagree on that. I think you'd find the poorer the girl, the LESS likely they are to become whores; They go out looking for minimum wage jobs because they're not likely corrupted by the spoils of 'wagamama' culture - where daddy provides everything and attitude would never allow them to actually work for a living.

GJ,

That JHS girl wasn't bringing home money for mom. She was doing to buy brand name shit because her mom was kind of poor and couldn't buy stuff for her. I'm not talking turn tricks or your family starves like the third world.

something to think about but it would depend.

No Japan and its schoolgirl whore programme is unlike anything in the world

Not at all. 2,400 years ago, Herodotus reported on the cultures of the tribes around the Black Sea. He found one tribe where the girls raised their dowry by selling sex to the married men of the tribe. Marriage was arranged for a girl once she had raised a decent amount.
The purpose of this tradition may seem different to enjo kosai but it takes both sides to be culpable. Unless you have willing buyers, there is no market for the sellers and you need society to sanction both sides. This is the oldest precursor I've found to young Japanese girls making money through selling sexual services to men who are not potential husbands.
See the whole work HERE. Read how the Persians tried to screw the local women only to find they have been tricked into coupling with ladyboys. Roppongi?

Even the Greeks had some interesting ways:

The Thracians who do not belong to these tribes have the customs which follow. They sell their children to traders. On their maidens they keep no watch, but leave them altogether free, while on the conduct of their wives they keep a most strict watch.

So Japan's society has yet to evolve?

At School, Labels a Runway Hit
Youths Increasingly Indulge in Designer Clothes

By Ylan Q. Mui
Washington Post Staff Writer
Monday, November 29, 2004; Page A01

Brandon Singleton was 8 when he first saw the movie "Clueless," and it changed his life.

He was entranced by the paradise of teenage consumption that the 1995 film portrayed, a Hollywood world of valet parking and designer duds. So when he entered Suitland High School in Prince George's County four years ago, he was determined to make it his reality.

Now 17, he wears Armani sunglasses inside his mother's modest townhome on a recent afternoon as he rattles off a list of his favorite designer brands: Dolce & Gabbana, Coach and "a little Burberry here and there." His first luxury purchase was a pair of shiny black Gucci pants that he bought freshman year for $450 -- all the money he had received for his 14th birthday.

"I'm trying to do it big," he explained.

...

Brandon Singleton said he doesn't subscribe to fashion magazines because doing so would reduce his clothing budget.

Brandon's dream is to move to Los Angeles and become a model, or maybe an actor. That means he will need money to buy a car -- new, he insisted -- rent an apartment, live on his own. He hasn't saved anything yet. How can he when Coach is selling umbrellas bearing its signature brown logo that match his Coach sneakers and wallet?

But there are limits to teenage spending. Cohen, the marketing analyst, said the teen market already has begun to fragment, with such products as iPods and camera phones competing for teenagers' dollars. And though Elizabeth said she is passionate about fashion, she has to draw the line somewhere.

"Prada is really expensive," she said. "I'm happy sticking with my Coach and Kate Spade."

Yet another J trend here in the states, although no mention of turning tricks (yet)...although TWP is usually not too up on current youth trends...They should be announcing the end of the grunge scene any day now.

Note to self: never google for images of chlamydia again
Kyodo via Yahoo: One in 10 high school students in northern Japan has sexually transmitted disease
One in 10 high school students in northern Japan has chlamydia, a curable sexually transmitted disease, a study showed Thursday. The study tested 3,190 Japanese students aged 16 to 18 at more than a dozen high schools, and found that 11.4 percent of them were infected, according to Dr. Hirohisa Imai at Asahikawa Medical College on Japan's northernmost main island of Hokkaido.
Most of the students who tested positive weren't aware they had chlamydia, and those who knew they were infected weren't getting treatment, he said. Chlamydia can cause infertility and is often called the silent infection because it can have no symptoms. Infection rates in the United States and Europe are generally estimated at 1 percent to 2 percent of the population...more...

TB Bacilli agree to talk to Johannes Chlamydia on the eve of their world tour

NI: We are surprised to find you here. Everyone told us that you had gone away.

Doug the Bug: That's a big myth. Every year we and our friends kill nearly three million humans. In the past decade we've caused over 80 million people to be sick, cough up blood and suffer with fever. We've been hard at work, but nobody pays any attention to our tragic performances.

Sherm the Germ: Yeh, our old friends, The Plague, travelled to India and killed 54 people last year. They caused pandemonium and mass evacuation.

Doug the Bug: The Ebolas visited Zaire and were an instant front-page success. During the time it took them to kill just 200 people we extinguished a quarter of a million lives. But nobody noticed us.

Phyllis the Bacillus: That's because Ebola bleeds them from the outside. The camera crews love it. We only bleed them to death from the inside.

NI: So fame continues to elude you?

Kim the Mycobacterium: We think we have figured out why our careers have hit hard times. Nine out of ten of us live in economically developing countries. Life is easy there and nobody hassles us. Many of those countries haven't invested in the effective and ridiculously cheap TB-control systems that can make our lives miserable. China, Tanzania, Vietnam and Nicaragua are among the few exceptions. I pity the poor bugs still trying to live there.

Doug the Bug: So the problem is, although we're causing lots of suffering, nobody pays any attention to our horrendous accomplishments in the South. No media coverage, no charity auctions and no protest marches. Nothing! It's as if we don't exist.

Phyllis the Bacillus: We decided we'd have to work harder to recapture the spotlight. We're doing a lot more travelling and trying to get booked in more cosmopolitan locations. The world is smaller now and it's easier to get around

these 1 in 10 figures are sort of average.

http://www.cdc.gov/std/chlamydia2002/default.htm

In 2002, the median state-specific chlamydia test positivity among 15- to 24-year-old women screened in selected prenatal clinics in 26 states and the Virgin Islands was 7.4% (range, 1.5% to 14.4%, Figure 5).

Chlamydia prevalence among female National Job Training Program entrants Among women entering the National Job Training Program in 2002, based on their place of residence before program entry, state-specific chlamydia prevalence ranged from 4.4% to 16.8% in 28 states and Puerto Rico (Figure 6). The median state-specific chlamydia prevalence was 10.1%.

Chlamydia positivity among women entering juvenile and adult corrections facilities Data on positivity of chlamydial infection among women entering juvenile or adult corrections facilities were reported to CDC from 28 states (Figure 7). Among adolescent women entering juvenile detention facilities, the median facility positivity for chlamydia was 16.7% (range 6.3% to 28.3%)]

Actually, Taro, women doing National Job Training and girls headed to jail aren't really a represtentative population. So the Japan figure may well be higher than normal for a developed country. But who knows. You can get statistics to tell you anything.

Chlamydia epidemic hits teens
Rates of sexual activity and abortion in Hokkaido are about the same as the national average. Excluding those students who had previously received medical treatment for STDs, 7.3 percent of male students and 13.9 percent of female students--an average of 11.4 percent--were found to have chlamydia. None of these students displayed obvious symptoms.
Sixteen-year-old students had the highest infection rate, with 8.6 percent of boys and 23.5 percent of girls infected.
...People infected with chlamydia are between three to five times more likely to become infected with HIV/AIDS if exposed to the virus. .
..."We must survey an even greater number of people to grasp a more detailed picture of infection rates and quickly provide more effective sex education."

Trio busted for producing schoolgirl porn videos
Mainichi

Three men who produced obscene videos and DVDs using girls under the age of 18 as actresses, intending to sell the products over the Internet, have been arrested, police said.

The three men, a 41-year-old contracted West Japan Railway Co. employee from Osaka Prefecture, a 31-year-old office worker from Aichi Prefecture, and a 53-year-old office worker from Nara Prefecture, were arrested on suspicion of violating the Child Welfare Law following a crackdown involving six prefectural police organizations.

Investigators said the suspects made three girls aged between 15 and 16 perform indecent acts in hotels in Nagoya and Osaka between about March 2001 and June last year.

The suspects filmed the girls and appeared in the footage themselves, police said. They then allegedly turned the footage into videos and DVDs with the intention of selling them.

In September last year, Nara Prefectural Police officials found a video showing girls wearing a uniform from a high school in the prefecture, and tracked the school down, which led them to the three suspects.

The suspects had sought models over the Internet, and gathered junior high school and high school girls together, paying them between about 50,000 and 100,000 yen a time, investigators said. (Mainichi Shimbun, Japan, March 8, 2005)

MDN: Chlamydia infection among high school students causing alarm
An alarming 10 percent of high school students who have had a sexual experience are infected with the sexually transmitted disease chlamydia, a Health, Labor and Welfare Ministry research team has found. Sexually transmitted diseases are estimated to increase the risk of contracting HIV between three and five times, but a separate survey conducted by a federation of nationwide high school PTA committees last year found that less than a quarter of high school students were aware of this...The survey found 31. 1 percent of male high school students and 43.6 percent of female high school students had experienced sex. Of these, 6.7 percent of male students and 13.1 percent of female students were infected with chlamydia. The overall infection rate among students was 10.6 percent. By age, 16-year-old girls had the highest rate of infection in Japan -- 17.3 percent. In Europe and America, the infection rate among high school girls is in the range of only 1 to 4 percent.

Somebody help me out. Is it me, or is the author a bit confused about statistics? First they're talking about infection rate as a percentage of students who have had sex, but then they're discussing it as if it's a percentage of the total population. When they say "of these, 6.7 percent..." I would assume they mean 6.7% of the 31%, which is about 2.1% of all boys, according to my calculator. So when they say "the overall infection rate among students was 10.6%" that's actually gotta be the infection rate among sexually active students. The infection rate among all students, then, would be roughly a third of that (unless they contracted chlamydia by eating bad natto or something). Have my English reading comprehension skills gone to crap, or is the writer exaggerating everything? It's bad either way, of course, but one interpretation is wrong by a factor of about three.

Uh-oh, it's spreading.

Chlamydia Outbreak Kills a Dozen Penguins
Associated Press, 6-May-2005

An outbreak of chlamydia at the San Francisco Zoo has left a dozen penguins dead, according to a spokesman.

The bacteria, which was most likely transmitted to the birds by an infected seagull, is spread through airborne saliva or other bodily fluids, said Bob Jenkins, the zoo's director of animal care and conservation. A similar disease is sexually transmitted in humans.

"One quick exposure and you're off and running," Jenkins said, adding that at its height, nearly 80 percent of the zoo's penguin colony was infected.

I guess the problem with students in Japan doesn't look quite so bad, relatively speaking.
