Japanese pornography has some unique features which separate it from pornography in other cultures, especially Western pornography. The most common theme in Japanese porn are schoolgirls, who are sexually submissive and often bound. It is quite common and frequently translated and exported to Western cultures because of its large spectrum of themes and media. Japanese erotica has a reputation in the West as being sado-masochistic and youth-centered.
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.
