I'm sorry but someone needs to whap Japan upside the head. This is a nation that is internationally famed for being the home of earth's most bizzare perverts. Something new, and eye bleedingly shocking comes out of Japan constantly. They produce rape simulators for personal entertainment, and shocking porno movies of every variety of animation and live action availible. Even the comic books they release for kids oftentimes include a decent amount of sexual material...
Japan becomes a lot easier to understand when you realize that
everything that filters into the west--games, films, porn, photographs of street life--is fringe.
Japanese people, on average, have less libido than just about any nation on earth. The weird fetishes and porn comics are the work of people at one end of the bell curve, the same one we have here in the United States, and like in the United States, those people tend to keep shop on the internet under an alias rather than in public.
If you wanted to make a photo album of "Lol America is Weird Pervert," you would need about fifteen minutes googling to produce photographs of bizarre public displays, headlines about bizarre sex exploits gone wrong, bizarre fetish conventions, and bizarre perverted flash games. We have festivals celebrating BDSM--in some places, and with some people. But if you put a giant marble penis in a public park, we, too, would get people complaining.
