Asian porn has become pretty legendary among porn enthusiasts. Long before any other porn market was open to many of the niche markets of various fetish and kinky interests, Asian porn was exploring every possible sexual interest known to mankind. The Asian porn market has long been known to be the innovators when it comes to sex and pornography. It’s funny though, for all the kink and fetish and unusual sexual interests that the Asian porn industry is willing to delve into, quite a bit of Asian porn has people’s genitals blurred out. There are laws in Japan that forbid showing genitals and pubic hair, so that area is blurred even when there is no penetration. It may seem odd to some people that there is such willingness to explore so many unusual sexual adventures yet the country has obscenity laws that require that film makers not show the genitals of the cast.
Other popular forms of Asian pornography are hentai and adult video games. Hentai is a Japanese slang term for sexually explicit comics and animation, such as anime and manga. Hentai is extremely popular all around the world. The censorship laws in Japan discourage visible genitalia even in hentai. In spite of the fact that the characters are cartoons, the genitals and pubic hair is blurred even in the cartoons, animation and video games. In the US, the characters are required to appear to be obviously over 18, but the genitalia can be visible. In Japan, the characters can take on an obviously child-like quality, but the genitals must be blurred. That is just one example of the difference in censorship laws from country to country.
One clear benefit of Asian porn and hentai is that it tends to target a lot of different demographics, including material targeted specifically toward women. In the US, porn is predominantly targeted toward men, although the market for porn geared toward the female buyer is growing steadily.
