Current prostitution in Japan is devided into two forms: By non-Japanese women and by young girls. Besides, sex tours in foreign countries taken by Japanese men is also a problem, which is not exactly a prostitution in Japan, but related to Japan.
This is a view from a exchange student in high school. It shows how the current situation in Japan is in a way.
If you go to Thailand you will see fat old Germans and Norwegians on the beach with Thai children on their laps. Foreigners are disgusted by this.
Japan is definitively more sophisticated.
The Japanese system the author mentioned is called "tere-kura", which comes from combined English words "telephone club".
All high school students know what a teleclub is. And 36% of all female high school students have called such a club. To make it worse, 25% of Junior high school girls have also called.
We're not sure the origin of these numbers above and they're larger than those we estimate from our experience.
...girls in my class tell me that it is completely accepted morally for 14-year olds to sell sex and that they have no problems with it.
Only men go to these teleclubs. They have to pay to be there/get in. Girls call to the teleclub for free, and if things work out they'll arrange a "date".
...phone numbers are printed on free tissues handed out all over Tokyo. Girls call to the teleclubs for free, men sit there and wait.
You may wonder why not more foreigners go to Japan to buy sex, the answer is: PRICES.
A girl I know sold her virginity for 1 million yen ... That's a lot of money, even in Japan a teenager can live on 10000 bucks for a while.
The girls today ... told me it's possible to get 50-60000yen in Tokyo. These girls were real beauties (that kind of girls you would marry without knowing anything about their personality) so that raises the price.
