This time with an interesting link: http://ballz.ababa.net/uninvited/groping.htm Bob, You really do need to catch up on Japanese current affairs. Right now they are looking at "women only" train carriages due to the high instances of groping on these commuter trains! Now, I'm not suggesting that this has anything to do with Japanese porn but surely even in Japan non consentual groping is a sex crime even if until recently it was treated like the rape of males in prison. Not really an issue... >No scientific study has ever >shown a relationship >between porn and sex crimes. Yet two feminists (nearly?) had porn banned in the USA until the supreme court ruled that such a ban violated the 1st Amendment!
