Grabbing a woman and kissing her forcibly would be the same crime as a violent rape.

Swedish law makes fewer distinctions (they only have one homicide crime, rather than separate murder and manslaughter) and leaves the judge with a lot more discretion on sentencing.

One result is that rather than being charged with a crime in the Anglo-American sense, you get a detailed description of what you’re being accused of having done – after which you have the choice of admitting it (equivalent to pleading guilty, but you still have to be tried and the evidence tested in court to determine the sentence) or disputing details, or rejecting the whole thing (equivalent to pleading not guilty).

I did do a well attended presentation titled “The Japanese Sex Trade in Anime and Manga” at FanimeCon in 2010. I plan to repeat again this year.

The martial covered, and more, is included in my Anime Companion Supplement web pages.

Interestingly enough the explicit erotic anime and manga titles rarely have the sex trade. They usually tend to be more along the lines of adultery, master and maid, etc.

Seinen (young men’s) manga is the richest source, however one can occasionally spot business signs in the background in works aimed at younger consumers. For example an omiai pub sign in Hikaru no Go.

I actually like the attitude porn takes towards sex better than all the not-quite-porn which seems to want to both be kinky and show that kinky is bad.

Miko Mido is a blast, and she can take a tentacle like few others.
