The Prostitution with the Japan , parallel to the traditional networks practiced in the majority of the countries of the world, comprises several characteristics related to its culture. The term of Geisha , generally badly included/understood in Occident, is not synonymous with prostitute. One notices in Japan the existence of parallel networks or abstract, practically absent in the other occidentalized companies, of prostitution of young girls and provided education for teenagers.
Prostitution of the young coeds
A considerable part of the Japanese coeds (coeds, high-school girls and schoolgirls, in particular among the Kogaru ) are brought to prostituer occasionally, either voluntarily, or following the requests of the men who approach them. According to a report/ratio of the National Organizes Agency in 1996, “ a third of the known cases of prostitution imply teenagers . (...) Approximately a quarter of the Japanese coeds between 12 and 15 years would have taken part in pink phone conversations. The conversations are envisaged on dates fixed in advance and are generally prone to an prior agreement for a particular sexual service, with the fixed price . ”This typically Japanese phenomenon is distinguished from the “traditional” prostitution by the supposed motivations of the implied young girls: rather than a stable source of money, it is an occasional of pocket money or auxiliary source which would be aimed, often stigmatized by the desire to get high-class products.
The relations that maintain these young girls with men which pays them are sometimes qualified “relations of mutual aid” (Enjo kōsai) in Japanese, which causes critical sharp against the status quo entrenu have regard to the phenomenon, as in the writer Ryū Murakami. The weak mediatization of the phenomenon considered as a problem within the Japanese company returns all the more difficult sound analyzes abroad.
