I cant understand this,Japan have some of the sickest porn movies out with rape and bondage,and many also think bukkake is stronger than ordinary porn.
And thats why I cant understand why they censore the genitals with mosaic,when they show a girl bathing in cum.

So i wonder,are all japanese titles out in an uncensored edition also?And where can u get them?

I dont understand what is wrong with Japan.

I have heard before that the censorship stems from the end of the second world war. The US set about imposing certain cultural standards on the Japs including the then present boundaries as to what was deemed acceptable and what was not. The Japs took this rather too literally and simply banned certain specific things (such as pubic hair) rather than realising that these things were merely meant to represent the boundaries in a more general sense.

This always reminds me of a muslim girl I knew at university who would not drink alcohol as the Koran forbade it but would happily smoke a joint as this was not mentioned in the book (according to her).

Don't know about *all* of them, but there are uncensored ones. Have a look here.
Nothing - it's just a completly different culture. Go, watch some Japanese-TV, you will certainly agree with me .
I love that one!

On the other side of the coin, the Japanese porn industry also has some of the gentlest and most passionate vanilla sex out there, with some of the sweetest, cutest girls. I actually credit the mosaic censorship for this...it's able to bring in a whole slew of actresses who wouldn't consider the career otherwise, and since there's little point in aiming the camera at a huge blurred-out close-up for minutes at a time, the focus tends to stay a lot more on whole body language and (heaven forbid) the girls' faces.

Still, there are a LOT of uncensored DVDs available of genuine Japanese product, either legitimately licensed (like Fantadream releases) or electronically unmasked. Just about all of it is second-tier, but is worth a look nonetheless. See for instance http://www.avfantasy.com.
