Japan porn has a lot of particularities that separate it from what we usually see in western porn movies. It happens basically for strong cultural differences and taboos that we usually don’t see in regular porn movies. Japan porn covers a wide variety of themes and subjects, being considered sometimes very complex when compared to western porn. It is also important to state that feminism and religious issues have completely no influence in Japanese pornography.

The mainstream media is very open about sexuality, due to such deep cultural differences. For that reason, many movies or specific scenes that are completely normal in Japan are completely unacceptable for other markets, some of them being classified as Japan porn when outside the country. Themes in Japan porn are very similar to the ones depicted in our own culture. Gay and straight sex, group sex and bondage, besides some fetishes, particularly foot fetishism are common themes. However, themes in Japan porn are so subtle and sometimes even confused that some regular western viewers can’t actually see the difference.

Adult anime is in fact a minor genre of Japan porn in the country, although being very popular in the western world, where it’s known as “hentai”. Similarly, adult games are also a popular form of Japan porn, comprising nothing less than 25% of the annual production of games in the country. Manga, the popular Japanese comic book has also its pornographic version. The interesting part is that differently from what happens in the western culture with porn magazines, erotic manga are targeted for both male and female audience with no distinction.

It’s important to say that although Japan porn is considered sometimes extreme and violent when compared with western pornography, it’s only a reflection of such openness of their culture. The market for Japan porn in the west grows wide, being hardcore pornography the most popular.
