Article on various aspects of the adult culture in Japan

By Memento Mori

While I was looking at various blogs on WordPress I came across an interesting article that explores various terms people will come across both in everyday Japan as well as the more ecchi side of it. Among some of the terms explained are: Japanese Animation, Manga, Doujinshi, H, Bukkake, Gaijin, Shonen-ai/Shojo-ai, and Paizuri.

Here is a short excerpt:

Gaijin “foreigner” A word that literally means “outsider,” gaijin is kind of a rude word when used in some situations, as it sounds short and might offend some listeners. A more politically correct word is “gai-koku jin” or “outside country person.” There is a tendency for gaijin to refer to themselves by this word, but sometimes take offense if Japanese say “Hey, gaijin.” In this way, it’s not unlike American blacks and their use of the “n” word as a way of forming groups.
