Is it possible that the Japanese abortion industry actually encourages policies that have led to a surge in AIDS infections? As I quoted last year, many Japanese view abortion as a primary method of birth control:
It is common knowledge that abortion has long been one of the most popular forms of birth control in Japan, largely because it's such an enormous money-spinner for those who perform the procedure that they have fought tooth-and-nail to prevent proliferation of alternative means.
Perhaps that's why Japanese appear reluctant to use condoms?
Among women, Sato is one of the careful ones. The 23-year-old Tokyoite has unprotected sex with multiple partners, but at least she occasionally gets herself tested for HIV."I know about the risks of disease, but usually the guys I'm with refuse to use a condom _ so we just end up having sex without one," said Sato, who would give only her last name as she waited for her blood to be drawn at a health center.
The risky behavior also extends far beyond youth: Older men often consort with part-time prostitutes of high-school age, businessmen go abroad on "sex tours" thinly disguised as company trips, and the country's enormous sex industry offers services condom-free for higher prices.
As appalling as this news is, it's unlikely that it results in a large number of HIV transmissions, for mechanical reasons. HIV is a blood-borne virus, and requires access to the blood to be successfully transmitted. A woman whose vagina is sound has an infinitesimal chance of getting HIV from a sex partner via vaginal intercourse. Michael Fumento has thoroughly explored the subject in his book The Myth Of Heterosexual AIDS.
As for that other kind of penetration, well, that's not going to require any contraceptive abortions, is it? And please, no lawyer jokes.
Dear Mike,
I'm trying to contact you. This is Scott Jonsson from 1992-1995. My parents lived in Belvidere, IL. It was right around the time that we were all figuring out God's Grace for Real. I started the International Church of Pancakes; and we raided churches for a while. It all eventually culimanted in a bunch of Christians chasing me out of Cornerstone Jesus Rock festival in 1995. They thought I was either demon posessed or on PCP, and I was neither. I WAS JUST DRUNK ON THE HOLY GHOST AND MAYBE A LITTLE VODKA! Somewhere before (or after?) all that I wrote this great song; and I want to send you the lyrics. What's your email address?

Oops. I just realized that you're not the Mike Williams that I thought you were. Sorry about all the postings, pretending like I knew who YOU were. I had you mistaken for someone else. Sorry man!

So....getting back on-topic.
I spend a lot of time with Japanese sales types, and I a lot of them note (after lots of drinks) that they don't use condoms. But I found this true mainly with the younger generation, as the older guys who go carousing around with young women (that's their culture) typically do (and then they joke about American size versus Japanese size condoms).
Yes, it's been my experience that Asian penises are generally a bit smaller.
Yeah, but it's not how deep you fish that matters, it's how you wiggle the worm...
WH: Very true. :)
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Can we please get back to the topic of some vodka infused, pancake eating, Alaska residing individual looking for some guy named Michael Williams.
No more "wiggly worm" size comparisons PLEASE.
Eric: You don't have to read what I or WH wrote.
There are not enough days in the week for the therapy that I'm going to need after reading this...
DD: Well, I'd think the comment from WH is helpful for you, considering the upcoming wedding and subsequent honeymoon.....
.. and I'd think my comment would've been more helpful during the part when you were considering other men.
But I digress..
