enjo k?sai, please?

most of us would be disgusted with the idea of charging men for the usage of high school-aged girls for dates, or possibly even intercourse. some of these girls could be our relatives; we wouldn't want it for them. the problem is, most of the girls who engage in such activities do so secretly, either as a way to earn an extra income or to lighten a financial burden due to being in a underprivilged family. add your own reasons.

this, countered with the fact that in japan (where it's possibly at its most rampant), enjo k?sai is not illegal makes it harder for any clampdowns to be made.

----------

the process is simple enough. a man engages a telephone club to obtain numbers of "partners" who might be willing to go out with him. keep in mind that what follows afterwards is purely at the discretion of the main parties involved; one thing might possibly lead to another. enjo k?sai isn't explicitly a form of prostitution.

----------

why isn't it illegal?

• for starters, the age of consent in japan is 13. however, this can start from as low as 7. there're virtually no grounds for a child offender to be charged for a child offense (a biased generalization, but it's kind of obvious).
• secondly, prostitution can be narrowed down to be defined as solicitation purely for coitus in japanese law. anything else goes, more or less.

----------

funnily enough, japan has a businesses affecting public morals regulation law. so it's all good.

look. i'm a dude.

i'm definitely all for sex.

i'm all for hot schoolgirls. and, quite possibly, those aged from 16 onwards. we all have fantasies. though to be modest, i'm far from a predator (though for the comedy value, i'm willing to be the butt of jokes that relate otherwise).

as such, i'd like to say that i am not all out for the exploitation of schoolgirls by an industry that has no ethics. it's a sex industry, you'd say. it's business. i agree. regulating bathhouses, love hotels, that's fine. those already toe the line. the government's nonchalance is disturbing.

(but on another note, i'd be quite happy if they regulated love hotels in malaysia...for those above the age of consent, of course).

most of these enjo k?sai girls are kids. it's more than a bit disturbing.

such is life, such is life.

if i was myself, but at least 5 years younger, i'd even say that this shit is whack!

(maybe not "whack", but an appropriate adjective thereof).

a small part of me still agrees. i can't help that part. i can't say that i'd never try it out at least once if i ever found my way to japan.

but at least the bigger part of me knows that it's not as whack as it used to be. at least.
