Last month I described in Japan is being very "promiscuous" or lascivious. If you have any doubt about that, check out this section of Mainichi web site:

("Waiwai" means "gab about rumors")Please note that the Mainichi is one of Japan's biggest and most influential national newspapers, equivalent to the New York Times, the Washington Post, or the U.K. Times. Try to imagine one of these newspapers featuring a web site like this one. You would sooner expect to find a Saudi government web site featuring a wet T-shirt contest. There are still cultural differences in the world! We are not all homogeneous yet.
