My theory on Japanese culture is that their whole society is filled with insane amounts of stress, and the stress leads to all kinds of odd reactions. That stress comes from the exam system that rules the future of each Japanese citizen and the strict codes (think japanese businessman) that society seems to impose after one's education is finished.
The porn that a society produces seems to be a strangly accurate representaion of the culture. Kind of like how a Big Mac can show economic principals across international borders. Japanese porn is a great example of Japanese culture's side-effects.
I'm going to start with hentai. Hentai seems normal enough but culture dictates that you can't show genitals. Thus, you have pornography where a
young girl is being gang-raped and hosed down by tentacles spewing something akin to semen, however; the girl's genitals are blurred to keep the pornography legal. Tentacle porn, along with bukkake, is a great example of repressed expression in Japan coming out itself in strange ways.
/is a wannabie porn scholar and a crackpot, take all comments at face value and if something seems like a pun, it is.
