What are some of the topics that is openly discussed in Western cultures but "awkward" and "prohibited" in Japan?
One thing I notice is the topic around sex, or just the idea of it. I can openly talk about sex, porn, strip joints or anything like that in front of my friends and family here in Canada, I would even discuss girls' body and what they are "showing" with my wife...
But in Japan, my uncle would give me a hard time just for saying "sukebe"
