Unintended consequences in Tokyo

Conrad has an interesting story about the perverse market of girls selling their panties in Tokyo. That's messed up.

Saddly Keith, this happens in the US too. Not so much with school girls but college girls. I'm sure you might still beable to find ebay sales for used panties as well as web sites that traffic this odd trade. Its a totally bizaar situation and like the article said its almost like a "gateway drug" into more . . . questionable practices.

I think this ties in with something I've heard offten "If you sell it, people will buy it."

I've met a girl who helped pay her way though college doing this. Not that I promote it in anyway but its the easiest money you could ever make. However, I'm supprized to see this in Japan . . . and then again I'm not. Japan has always been known for its unique sexual industry but I've always gotten a more modest/hard working vibe from their culture. I suppose people could blame western infulence (as people LOVE to do) but I've been hearing more and more of this perverted behavior from Japan.

I'm all for freedom and I apose some "morality laws" (I don't think its up to our government to socially mold its citizens as they see fit, but then again we do vote these people into office) but I'm glad to hear you can't go to a f@#king store to buy used panties . . . . the smell alone would be awful. Could you imagine tring to conduct regular business anywhere NEAR such a place?
