I love how everyone's using this example to show how morally depraved Japanese culture is.

Do you know why guys would pay for such simple things, like eye contact with a girl, or even just intimately being in the presence of one? Because they're not as incredibly spoiled with physicality as we are in the US. Girls that'll go to bed with you are a dime a dozen - except not even, because they can be found in every club, for free. Here in the states, it's totally the norm for kids to be having sex with multiple partners all throughout high school, hence why we think basic, intimate, sex-less alone time with a woman is so ridiculous. Thanks to the media we're constantly subjected to, most of us are so saturated with this sex-based culture, that platonic-ly sitting with a woman sounds petty and lame.

Perhaps to us, where we glorify a Vegas lifestyle above all else, it may be ridiculous or lame - but don't say their morality is going down the toilet, in that respect at least. This shows that it's a culture where intimacy actually means something.
