    This is very confusing to me. Japanise anime and ligtnovels seem increadibly horny. To the pount its offputing. But nobody seems to get laid.

    The chinise equivalents are generally not as horny but people do get laid.

      I think the original business model was to endlessly "tease" young readers who don't understand that there can never be a "payoff". I don't know how it became what it is now.

        There can never be payoff.... true to life but grim.

      The answer to this seems to be that pornography is actually illegal in Japan, with the porn that does exist either being censored or being made in ways that have loopholes around the laws.

      Anime and light novels get advertised on TV and radio, and in Japan you need a license from the government to get shown on broadcast media. So I could see production companies trying desperately to avoid a pornography designation while still getting close to the edge.

        Ishuzoku Reviewers literally had multiple explicit sex scenes in every episode - but it was fine because they didn't show penetration.
