I'm not talking about one group, this is about young & old, men & women. Men try to get some weird 'H' details. Women seem to want to get your life story and your dating record. While I'm sure other people have different stories, in my experience it's like how you're not supposed to eat with your elbows on the table-- people get that it's wrong, but a ton of people just do it anyways. While they know they aren't supposed to talk about that kind of thing, some people will go ahead and ask how often you do "H" so they can segway into how their 'sessions' work. It's especially uncomfortable when there are women around... and when even higher up people are nearby. YIKES!

I understand what you are saying Steven. It's part of being a foreigner in Japan. That being said, there is a difference in Japan between asking about private affairs, and judging people's actions behind closed doors. Again, as long as you aren't hurting anyone, no one seems to judge your actions. I can't say the same is true in the US.
