I read somewhere that the Japanese view sex essentially as an entertainment commodity. Could this possibly have anything to do with the nature of the country's predominant religions (Shinto and Buddhism)? Supposedly these religions do not have any particular doctrines or moral standpoints with regard to what's "right and wrong" in sex.

"It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others." -from the film Coach Carter
