A history of Japanese sexual mores and a survey of modern Japanese love, marriage and family life. The author explores the subject starting with creation myths and ending with present-day love hotels, soap ladies, porn videos and sex shows. He discusses the Japanese attitude to bringing up children, marriage, work and alcohol. What emerges is a race refeshingly guilt-free about sex, but at the same time mother-fixated, voyeuristic, obsessed with the female genitalia and whose national pastime is peering beneath skirts.

Part 1 New year: hotels and legends; in the middle of the road; high-school confidential. Part 2 The rites of spring: phallicism and fertility; the heian idyll. Part 3 The venereal equinox: the edo period; the great indoors; the culture of desire; spring for sale. Part 4 Heatwaves in the water trade: the water business; the ladies upstream; sirens in the silt; stripping Japan styles; the genital circus; on the dark side. Part 5 Quirks for all seasons: the cruel world; nakedness and dissent; the realm of the sexless. Part 6 A new era.
