Thanks for the write-up.

You mentioned FC2 in the article. Any idea why more and more FC2 users release censored (private parts) videos? Fishman's videos used to be uncensored but they are censored now, for example.

There's more censored on FC2 now because uncensored has always been risky and the people who shoot it and sell it there are playing with legal fire.

FC2 may be a foreign company, but it's very much on the radar of Japanese authorities.

Huh FC2 is a foreign company? Do tell.

Thanks for the article, I finally read it. Pretty Good. I think it also help to give some international sales figure, since obviously it's a potential market if there were more and better uncensored content the international market could be bigger than it is now. But the question is how big, is it (will it be) too small to affect things, to bend cultural bias?

Remember it wasn't long ago that it was acceptable and even expected retiring AV idols would make one or more uncensored vids so it's conceivable that we might at least go back to the old normal (Caribbean and 1Pondo etc being healthy) which is at least much better than now.

Interesting read.

I must say, I am not that bothered by the mosaic, assuming it's not too obtrusive. I focus much more on the general atmopshere, acts, bodies and facial expression. I know what genitalia look like. Maybe the fact of something being obscured even makes it more attractive. Sure, I watch Euro-porn sometimes, and some of it's good, but not necessarily because it shows uncensored private bits.

FC2 is "foreign-owned" in that a Japanese person owns it, but it is a US company hosted outside of Japan.

Next article I wrote should be up later this week or next. Just submitted the final draft like 20 minutes ago.
