  Erin, you would make an article like this lol, jk. Just a question on the first section, 手コキ神社, isn't that in a way touching on the soil of prostitution? I know the money is going to charity, but wouldn't that be illegal? (Assuming that prostitution is illegal in Japan, if it isn't then by all means...) Correct me if I'm wrong. But I'm only assuming it's illegal based on the fact that uncensored porn is illegal in Japan; “injurious to public morals.”.

  I would write this article, wouldn't I? At any rate, I think that PTV is getting around the laws by censoring their telethon---I would imagine this is possible?
  
  And, now that I think about some more, it I'm pretty sure the whole thing is being treated like regular porn, with men being "compensated" in the event t-shirts they receive after paying the minimum donation at the shrine (I left that out of the article, though). Maybe that's what makes it ok? None of my friends could come up with an answer, either, other than it must not be illegal, since they've been doing this for a few years.

  Wow. Just...wow.
  
  It's nice to see how "sexually open" a society can be, but there's a fine fine line between "donation" and "prostitution". Also,the whole おっぱい募金 thing seems a BIT sexist. I mean would it ever ever happen the other way around, with girls paying to "grab" a random guy. DEF. NOT.

  Ah, but you missed the Ball Rubbing Station (玉もミ募金) bit (it wasn't as interesting as the Beer Garden, I thought)! For a minimum 1 円, any woman (or man) can fondle a willing AV actor's parts. Not much money is raised at this station, true, but it exists!

  Interesting? Incredible... as in unbelievable... it does seem like prostitution a bit, and yeah, this wouldn't go down in the states. Watch us all hear something like this soon... haha! It is something very open, though. Yeah, and some of that stuff is just plain wierd and things I don't understand and not sure I want to understand. Eh, to each his or her own fetish? So has Tofugu gotten a lot of hits because of the keywords like the tags? Haha. I can see Tofugu being on the top of the search list.

  I like how the Google Ads are outputting a mix of 'Donations', 'Charities', 'Fundraising' and 'Japanese Girls for Dating'.

  LOL this is amazing. I'm sure that there would be a lot of donations if they did this for everything.

  Okay, to show your boobs, give out samples of um...your bodily fluids (:X), for charity is one thing, but we're talking about touching and jerking people off. I think they cross the line, but 3 min is not a long time (proffesionals, lol), but still...no.

  HAHA nihon ga DAISUKI. av idols seem so out of place in japanese society, but i think they’re more accepted in japan then pornstars in america. the time limit is hilarious. they really should charge more so the guys get their money’s worth.

  o_o The intention was good, but here the means used to serve that cause are just vulgar and those women are only cheapening-humbling themselves... -_-' (I'm not a feminist or anything but here it's just pissing me off) and speaking of the Japanese Weird Sexual Acts, hmm...every country has its bad sides...Anyway, I'd also be for the usual ways to raise funds.

  I used the default pixelation setting on my photoshop D:
  
  Oh, but the hand-job picture on the bottom came pixelated. I thought you could still see too much... so I pixelated it again. Guess it wasn't enough?

  Would have been better if you just used black bars on everything lol
  
  Well actually they aren't that bad (they only seem to show more if the picture is smaller), but the second one needs more, you can still make out her blah.

  Yeah, in the states this would kinda count as Prostitution BUT at the same time its for a good cause...so it's pretty much a double edged sword.

  (quoted from article--> "Personally, I’m on the fence about this one. While many of the things done to raise money this weekend seem humiliating for the AV actresses and actors, as well as possibly illegal (after talking to my Japanese friends about this kind of “prostitution”, in it seems that PTV may have found a loophole), I can’t deny that they’re doing it for a worthy cause. Though my particular moral stance inclines me toward tamer forms of charity (washing cars, selling cookies, etc), I’m sure that Paradise’s campaign will earn a heck of a lot more money their way, don’t you think?"
