For those of us who left our Kinky Japan meeting last year wanting a little more, or weren’t sure how much to believe, the Museum of Sex will be having a Slideshow/Lecture presentation on “Pink Japan: Contemporary Sex Culture”, presented by Midori. The blurb sounds quite promising, and you can be sure I’ll be there. I suggest, buying tickets in advance and make sure to get a student discount if you can.

Here is a selection of the blurb from the site:

From cuisine, music, fashion, technology to anime, Japan’s cultural influence on the West is immense. In many ways the Japanese erotic cultures are also influencing today’s Western tastes. Yet the daily realities of Japan’s gender relations, sexual habits, sexual consumer culture and gay/lesbian/transgendered world remain hidden to us, creating an aura of mystique. In this funny and insightful talk, join Midori for a double-expatriate’’s photo tour of Japan’s hidden sexual culture today.”

Tickets can be purchased at the museum’s front desk or by calling (212) 689-6337 ext. 115.

  1. Just as a bit of encouragement, I’ve already got tickets for this event, so if you’re planning on going, don’t worry about being alone!

  2. So, here I am again to say that I thoroughly enjoyed Midori’s photo adventure through metropolitan Japan’s sex culture. Most especially, I loved seeing the cross section of groups that attended. I hope CV can be a part of more events like theses this year.

  3. I also had a good time at Midori’s talk. I was hoping for a bit more sociology and a bit less “vacation stories” but she did caveat the whole thing at the beginning with the remark that her presentation wasn’t supposed to be a “class” sort of setting.

    Anyway, I was thrilled to see that tons and tons people from all the different communities showed up. Lots of familiar faces all around. :)
