I live in Japan . I bet you could count on 2 hands the number of elementary school girls who have engaged in prositution . Middle and high a different story but I doubt the 20% figure is true .
The 20% figure came from a Japanese newspaper.... a racy tabloid probably but it was Japanese.
Wel , I just had a chat with my Japanese daughter ( 22 ) and wife ( Japanese ) , and I guess I was wrong about the 20% figure . Guess I’ve been living too long in the countryside where prostitution of this kind is almost unheard of . Apparently in Tokyo , Osaka and other large cities it’s rampant .
