Watching BBC News 24 the other night I heard that there are moves afoot in Japan to make images of boys in tiny swimsuits become pornographic. The claim is that many of these photographs are in erotic poses and should be banned although the Japanese public have not complained up until now. Once images of boys in brief low cut bikinis is considered indecent and pornographic it will be more difficult for Japanese boys and men to wear them in public just because they like them.
It happened that way in Britain some years ago, naked images of children became pornographic, images of boys in speedos and short shorts became erotic and then pornographic and banned. Then boys stopped wearing speedos and short shorts. In they name of child protection they moved the goal posts and tried to make the everyday indecent.
