Japanese Underage Girls Modeling? Options

[Tung]

For the past couple of years, the popularity of females as young as the age of 7 years old have been doing modeling called gravure. These types of models are called U-15. U-15 is short for "under 15", and is used when talking about junior idols. Most junior idols are called this until they reach the age of 16. If you go to Japan nowadays, you can find many shops solely selling only U-15 products such as magazine and DVDS. These girls are exposed in very revealing bikini, and they wear T-backs. T-backs are more revealing than thongs, and that's saying alot. I find it really disturbing that the U-15 industry is more popular than regular Japanese porno. Here's a link to show you what I am talking about. It's absoultely shocking.

There's men over 30 years old commening on the videos about how sexy they look, and wished they were naked. This is a 30 year old wanting to see a 12 year old naked? Are you kidding me? Do you think this is right or wrong?

Um, really? Isn't more like a well-toned, healthy body is hot? I haven't heard a guy admit that he likes skinny girls before when skinny equal visible ribs.

Then that heavily defines what you believe is skinny.

Not me, magazine polls, random street surveys by magazines, working at a gymn for four years and hearing people describe "skinny", and from hearing guy friends talk =)

So, Jessica Alba is hot and she's not skinny; she's shapely and toned... pretty much 90% of men will agree.

Edit: So yea, like someone said earlier, it's not only that there are people who'd pay to watch these girls, it's a bigger problem (IMO) that parents are letting their daughters be portrayed like this.

Well, as much I damn well agree with you, there is some speculation to be said about celebrities like Nicole Richie who starve themselves constantly to look what you define as "skinny."

Also, Japan's different, thats just the way it is. Their R rated movies are 16 and above, not 17. Age is subjective. For instance, when a 15 year old female gets kidnapped, we think of them as ignorant babies who couldn't think for themselves. However, when a 15 teenager accidently kills his neighbor trying to do a wrestling move, all of sudden we think hes an adult. Yeah, that was a rip off of Dave Chappelle, but just clearing my point.
