    Click on the link on the bottom of the page and it gets stranger. Ah, gotta love the results of a sexually repressed society.

    That’s a common misconception.
    On the contrary, Japan is one of the least sexually repressed societies in the world. Hence companies being able to sell breast and lap pillows based on tennis superstars. 🙂
