What law bans prostitution in Japan?

The Prostitution Prevention Law, enacted in 1957, forbids the act of having "intercourse with an unspecified person in exchange for payment." It also punishes acts including soliciting by prostitutes and organized prostitution, such as operating brothels.

Legal experts say it is hard for police to crack down on prostitution because it is tricky to verify if a couple had consensual or compensated sex.

The law meanwhile does not ban paid sex with a "specified person," or someone who has become an acquaintance. It also defines sex exclusively as vaginal intercourse. Thus other paid sexual acts are not illegal.

DVD sales are in free fall. Audiences are flocking to pornographic knockoffs of YouTube, especially a secretive site called YouPorn. And the amateurs are taking over. What’s happening to the adult-entertainment industry is exactly what’s happening to its Hollywood counterpart—only worse.

Millions of Chinese have heard of Shanghai Baby, the shockingly frank grunge novel by Wei Hui, who prides herself on being "China's first banned pornographic female novelist." But how many have heard of Yu Xiu's Flower Season, Rainy Season or Han Han's The Three Gates?

Literary infighting is rarely as gripping as it has been in China this year. The battle royale between Mian Mian, 29, and Wei Hui, 27—both apparently vying for recognition as China's "bad girl of letters"—has captivated even those who have not read their remarkably similar and steamy novels about sex, drugs and dropout chic. In April, Beijing banned both books. Soon U.S. readers will have a chance to see why, when both are published in the States. Here is an advance look, in the first English-language excerpts from the novels.

The sex industry in Japan is worth over US$80 billion a year and has a constant demand for new workers. This has led to the development of highly sophisticated recruitment procedures.
