Sexy / Hentai 🔞

Warning: this page and its related articles and contents are suitable only to adult readers, aged 18 or more.

Eroticism and an idealized form of sexual freedom are among the prominent clichés about Japan. They crystallized in Western minds due to many influences and fictional works, such as:

• Shunga erotic etchings,
• Literature,
• Cinema,
• Manga, anime, video games, etc.

This theme is certainly underlying throughout Japanese culture, but it caught the foreigners’ eyes by its manifestations that seem unique if not extravagant:

• Traditional festivals such as Kanamara Matsuri,
• Love hotels,
• Various fetishes that are often used as "clickbaits" on Japan (from used underwear collectors to idols’ shenanigans).

However, let us not forget that Japanese society is also structured with specific rules regarding this sensitive topic: so make sure to behave properly and to not pass off as a hentai (変態, a pervert!) on your next travel in Japan!
