JAV (Japanese Adult Video)

[watermouse]

Pornographic video (called "adult video" or "AV" in Japan or sometimes
"Japanese adult video" or "JAV" outside of it) covers wide themes and
its only limit is censorship laws.
Many videos have a title that may suggest that they use minors or the
actual recording of a crime, but no titles that are circulated with
the approval of Eirin, a self-censor organization of productions,
break any laws. A common ploy is to have a part of a title replaced
with a character, or to use a phonetically similar neologism. For
example, a video about "19 years old girls Sex Party!" may be sold
with a title like "1X years old Girls Sex Party!". The word Joshikosei
(女子高生?), lit. "High school girl," cannot be used as it would suggest a
girl of 17 years or younger, who cannot legally act in a pornographic
video. The homonymic neologism Joshikosei (女子校生?), which can mean a
"girl student," is used in many titles to promote the product without
breaking censorship laws. This fact may be seen in popular places of
Japan such as Akihabara or Den Den Town at Tokyo and Osaka
respectively.
Japanese AV also caters to many more fetishes than might be imagined
(or thought legal) by non-Japanese. Schoolgirl or uniform themed AV
dovetails with the aforementioned "non-consensual" genre―rape (レイプ
reipu?)―are common. SM, rope bondage, bestiality, virgins, internal
male climax or cream-pies (中出し nakadashi?), lesbians (レズ rezu?), along
with more eccentric fetishes (soap, office ladies, game shows) are all
covered.
