Talk:Soapland

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Whoever it was that made the last edit (about Soaplands for gay men) could you explain what businesses you're talking about? I've never seen/heard of any, and I've read the major Japanese gay guides. Exploding Boy 18:50, May 26, 2005 (UTC)

If there is no evidence, move it to the talk page until some is produced. Justinc 22:51, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Illegal?

Prostitution was not made illegal. Rather, several things related to prostitution were made illegal in order to prevent abuse of the prostitutes. I would therefore propose rewritting the last section which implies that prostitution (as it occures in the general sense: coital and non-cotial) is illegal. However, there is a law aginst furnishing a buisness for prostitution (full coitus) which would apply to Soapland.

Non-coitus acts are regulated, and therefore are a legitimate form of buisness as defined by the Businesses Affecting Public Morals Regulation Law of 1948.
