On the topic of Japanese porn and how weird it is, Ive heard people suggest that Japanese porn is a kind of outlet for men in a culture that is very emotionally repressive. Now I don't really know how much truth there is in that but it does raise the question of what roles porn can play in a society and what role it's playing in North American society. How about in European countries? I just don't know, but I suppose that you could probably separate the effects that porn has upon people neurologically and physiologically from the function it plays in their life or their culture.

I'm just throwing ideas out there, but it seems to me those would be two separate and equally interesting discussions to have.
