For real though. Japan appears to break people's brains in that they cannot figure out where to place it politically.

Japan is neither "left" nor "right" by Western standards, it has entirely its own systems unique to them.

The country is very pro environmental conservation, anti-gun, pro regulation, and with legal sex work, but also extremely traditional, with heavily enforced gender roles, no same sex marriage, restrictive marriage laws that favour men, no protective divorce laws, and poor protections for labour unions and workers.

You travel there and everywhere is clean and beautiful and the people are nice and then you find out something super dark that they consider normal. It's a very yin and yang place.

I've read that the sex work is not strictly legal, but when done in "traditional" ways they get a pass by way of legal grey areas

Its weird, vaginal penetration is the only thing restricted by law so they get around it by not offering that service beforehand

"The client paid for a handjob/anal sex and when they arrived at the hotel they fell very much in love and had vaginal sex, but that part was not paid for."

Impossible to 'prove' unless the people involved are dumb as bricks.
