custom expected, and some of them encouraged, their husbands to go out and enjoy themselves with professional women during the period of time they were cut off at home. When a wife saw her husband off on such an occasion, she would sometimes laughingly say, "Don't bring anything home!"
Not being burdened by religious taboos concerning sex or any religious-inspired belief that the act is holy, Japanese girls are able to engage in sex without undergoing any agonizing soul-searching or suffering from guilt complexes.
Until the advent of the Kinsey-Masters-Johnson era in the United States, no people were more interested in their own sexual practices than the Japanese. More than a thousand years ago, Japanese novelists (mostly women) were recording in careful detail the courting and mating customs of their times. Contemporary novelists, magazine writers, and social scientists have continued this popular tradition. As a result of this custom, there is a constantly growing mass of data on the sexual attitudes and practices of the Japanese.
One of the more interesting factors brought out by these studies is the complete naturalness with which Japanese girls regard sex, and their lack of inhibitions stemming from social taboos. To them there is no right or wrong way to engage in sex. Whatever the partners find pleasing is right, and they are willing to experiment to find out what is pleasing. When Western men are confronted by this attitude, they are apt to go overboard in their admiration for life in Japan.
Sex in Japan has long been accepted as an art requiring special skill to perform properly, and there has been considerable effort to raise it to an artistic level. Today instruction in the practice of sex is big business. Anyone who can read can become an authority on the theory and practice of sex just by keeping up with two or three of the more popular women's and young girls' magazines.
Beginning in the early 1960s, many publications aimed at women began emphasizing sex education in wall-to-wall stereo, you might say. One feature in a magazine called Josei Jishin (Young Girl Confidential), for example, was a long special section showing its readers in elaborate detail how to sexually excite men and how to perform coitus in the most satisfying manner.
