Let's talk about Adult Video 香港-日本-新加坡跨區文化挑戰/ HK-JP-SG cross-community challenge
As a biologist, there is nothing more interesting than keeping the species continuation, reproduction is always an important issue in biology. Yet for human, sexual intercourse is not limited for the reproductive purpose, but also served as a form of pleasure.
And let's be honest, pornography has always been a major industry world wide, even porn related tokens are growing with the blockchain technology (spankchain, bunny token etc)
Japanese porn has always play a role in the Asian market so here I will try to talk about the Japanese porn culture.
Japanese porn -- the AV
AV is the acronym for Adult Video, not hard to imagine from the words, literally refers to videos for adults. They originated as the pink video, during the times when VHS tapes are more available to the general public and house hold could afford those tape readers. Ever since then Japan has become one of the major Asian porn producer, along with the porn industry contributed over 60 billion USD worth of economical value. Despite the economical contribution, the AV is a clearly a form of male chauvinism, where females are being addressed as a form of entertainment for male's pleasure, this somehow resonated with the general perception of Japanese males taking up more dominating roles in the Japanese culture.
Populations who are engaged in the watching of AV, usually shows sexual affirmation and satisfaction, throughout the processes. In some cases, the AV also provided the early stepping stones into a child's early sex education. Especially in Asian cultures where sex is generally treated as a taboo and rarely being openly discussed among parents and children. Parents tends to rely on schools to educate their children, however, in a much more likelier scenarios is that children circulate AV among the boys.
AV star as career stepping stone?
Being an AV star actually gives a great opportunities for the actress to expose herself to a great population with wide age range, building a foundation for her to pave her way to become a mainstream celebrity. This some how attracted more wannabe girls to enter the industry, it was estimated over 10,000 girls attempted to enter the AV industry annually. With over 35,000 AV generated annually, along with the distribution in local Japan and internet "export", those AV actress can easily gain over millions of fan base.
Cultural Impact
Language:
Introductory to simple Japanese phrase such as: kimochi, sugoi, dame, yamete, motto, which are frequently used in HK comedies or daily life phrase.Memes:
Scenes or scenarios are generally used as jokes on forums or as metaphors for discussions. The pool is probably one of the famous one.Anime/ gaming:
Japanese AV extends their influence to anime, with frequent incorporation of under dress female characters, female characters with exaggerated figures, or frequent tearing of clothing.
Female oriented AV
The market no longer limits the AV to be male demand driven, female oriented AV are also now available to address the female's need. Addressing more relationship/ love, than the pure "action" of the intercourse.
Concluding remarks
Watching porn is not something that we should be too ashamed of, as long as you are not disturbing anyone, I believe everyone has their right to do so as this is just like bring out their fantasy, as long as they has a clear distinguish between the boundary between fantasy and reality.
I would like to conclude this challenge with this

That last part on conclusion is quite witty and hilarious ahaha!
haha thank you, followed you for your travel stuff~
Fun article! Definitely brings out one of the essences of Japan.
haha, yes, i am pretty sure, the AV --> anime video and adult video influenced many asian boys
Haha.. I thought no one will talk about JAV as part of this challenge since it may seem somewhat like a taboo topic. @biuiam, I like your witty yet direct write-up on the JAV industry.
Well, as a scientist, I am trained to bring out the taboo and challenge their thoughts, and we are just talking about porn here. I already tried to minimized the first photo so that minimal nudity is found in the post XD
This really is cracking me up! You should write more.
With your sense of humour and 'evidence-based' knowledge, you can make rocket science biology become some easy every-day knowledge of the day good for laymen. I was and still am crap in biology.
EDIT: @aaronli is supposed to be as pure as distilled water. I don't know he's so fabulous at that poetry. LMAO
Why only guys are commenting in this post??
I always wanted to write more, just that my work is always busy and i need to spend time doing research to write fact based articles (especially for science, things cannot be wrong). But I will try to write more, after seeing you guys are so dedicated to promote team HK and pool together other national teams to join.
aaronli is pure and true, I am sure he saw it somewhere else and find it funny so he shared with me knowing I want to write about this taboo topic XD
The first photo maybe an eye candy for men but can be striking to women can feel embarrassed discussing this with us men in public. Haha
I have been inspired by some great minds they have pulled me through. No moral obligation to give help , to be honest, as in the real world tycoon Li + x has no obligation to cook free lunch. But it’s always nice to give back to the group, do something in a good cause for group benefits. I always believe in and have the mentality of giving and taking, though I’m a no body online and offline.
haha, i was thinking what cover photo to use, and instead of using big AV cover as photo, i think its better to minimize it so that, nothings get too clear, to prevent the ladies from feeling too embarrassed.
Yes mutual inspiration is what the internet is trying to do, bring individuals to form communities, online and offline~
hey, I am not fabulous at that poetry! I wrote it haha
