Shame towards sex is so stupid. Creates all sorts of weird perverts because they can't be what they want to be.

I am sorry for my ignorance but does the shame comes from Christianity ?

It reminds me how heavy in violence western media are yet when it comes to sex they shunned it to the best of their ability whereas Japanese is the other way around.

I think that's saying something but I am not sure

Depends on where in the West. Extreme violence is more accepted than sex in the US, but in (parts of) Europe it's the opposite. Violence is more taboo in Japan than (softcore) sex is but showing drug use is completely unacceptable while less so in Europe/USA.

It came from the change Japan went through during the Meiji restoration as a result of trying to be more like Western nations (which were heavily influenced by Christianity).

Lol look at the President's overworked dead eyes

Btw Haruka's right, Japan has always been accepting of sex, that mosaic on porn deal was self imposed by japan becaus they were afraid that westerners would be embarrassed to see full beaver when they visited japan.

One word: Victorians. Due to the British Empire being literally fucking everywhere, they have a habit of imposing their “sensibilities” to other countries. And since the Brits are the cool guys back then, naturally everyone obliged to look modern and civilized, especially post-isolationist Japan.

So they CAN go back to being lewder, but the conservatives are strong in JP, and they say no to porn and hookers as much as they dither to allow empresses again.

A yankee ganguro who’s a successful porn dev? Based Nogami strikes again.

Oh, I should mention that the curry restaurant mentioned here is Takara-tei 宝亭 (5-10 Ginzacho, Atami), which looks indeed like a local favorite, and its also linked to the theme/punchline of this chapter.

See, takara-tei is literally “treasure pavilion” in Japanese, and the sex musuem (Atami Hihokan 熱海秘宝館, 1992-1 Atami) is literally the Atami secret treasures meseum in Japanese, so you can say that she went from the hot and spicy public treasure pavilion to the hot and spicy adult-only secret treasure pavilion while in Atami.
