As much as the American leaders want to think it does, American laws don't apply to the rest of the world. <br /><br />In Japan, as far as porn is concerned, everything is okay (including breasts and ass) except for the genitals. That's just censored out.<br /><br />u/woohoo49<br /><br />•<br /><br />Jan 30, 2014, 7:49 AM<br /><br />Ooh, i always thought it was just penetration that was censored.<br /><br />u/GFrohman<br /><br />•<br /><br />Jan 31, 2014, 12:22 AM<br /><br /><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pornography_in_Japan#Censorship_laws">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pornography_in_Japan#Censorship_laws</a><br /><br />Anus doesn't count, for whatever reason.<br /><br />u/Soloos<br /><br />•<br /><br />Jan 31, 2014, 4:18 AM<br /><br />From my experience with Japanese porn, I've noticed that anus isn't censored only when it's not touched.
